Abstract: A basket for an air preheater includes two metallic frames each having two corner pieces and two connector pieces. For each frame, one of the connector pieces is secured to one end of each of the corner pieces and another of the connector pieces is secured to an opposite end of each of the corner pieces thereby forming a rectangular opening in each frame. The basket includes two heavy gauge metallic sheets that are secured to the corner pieces, thereby spacing the frames equally apart from and parallel to one another thereby forming a channel between two of the sheets.

Abstract: An integrated circuit comprises at least one pin and has at least one resistor connected between a reference voltage and the at least one pin. Current measurement circuitry applies a voltage across the at least one resistor and measures a current at the at least one pin responsive to the applied voltage in a first mode of operation. The measured current enables determination of a current limit set point for the integrated circuit. In a second mode of operation, the at least one resistor comprises a pull up resistor and the at least one pin that is connected to the at least one resistor comprises an open-drain output.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the separation and removal of hydrogen, alone or together with carbon monoxide, from a mixture of these gases with olefinic hydrocarbons by contacting the mixture with oxygen over a catalyst at conditions sufficient to oxidize the hydrogen to form water while suppressing reaction of the reactive, unsaturated hydrocarbons. The catalyst contains at least one metal or metal oxide from Groups Ib, IIb, IIIa, IVa and Va of the Periodic Table, and the temperature of the reaction may range from about 40.degree. C. to 300.degree. C. and a pressure of about 14.7 psig to 1,000 psig, and the flow rate of the entering feed ranges from about 1 GHSV to about 50,000 GHSV. The process can be conducted using one, two or three reaction zones.

Abstract: This invention is an improved mild personal cleansing syndet bar comprising: long chain synthetic surfactant having essentially saturated C.sub.15 -C.sub.22, preferably C.sub.16 -C.sub.18, alkyl or acyl chains, more preferably cetearyl sulfate; a high lathering, mild synthetic surfactant, preferably C.sub.12 -C.sub.14 acyl isethionate; soap; fatty acids; sodium isethionate; and paraffin wax, preferably a high melting point paraffin wax. The bar has improved processability, good smears, and good in-use properties without meaningful lather negatives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved freezer bar soap comprising selected saturated C.sub.14 -C.sub.18 fatty acid soaps and lathering synthetic surfactant. The bars of this invention have reduced bathtub ring, as well as improved mildness while maintaining acceptable lathering/sudsing characteristics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved freezer bar soap comprising selected saturated C.sub.14 -C.sub.18 fatty acid soaps and lathering soap selected from lauric, oleic, and other minor selected more soluble soaps. The bars of this invention have improved mildness while maintaining acceptable lathering/sudsing characteristics.

Abstract: An isotropic liquid cleansing composition which is cosmetically attractive, stable and which also has excellent lather performance properties. The composition contains a water-soluble triethanolamine fatty acid soap, an electrolyte thickener selected from citrates, formates and tetraacetate, a synthetic surfactant, and water as essential components and has a neat viscosity (100%) of about 2,000 to 12,000 cps.

Abstract: A malodor-free personal cleansing bar with a low level of zeolite odor-controlling agent. The preferred application is a fragrance-free bar, a scented bar, or the like.

Abstract: A mild skin cleansing composition in the form of a bar comprising from about 0.5% to about 20% of a mixture of a silicone gum and a silicone fluid wherein the gum:fluid ratio is from about 10:1 to about 1:10, preferably from about 4:1 to about 1:4, most preferably from about 3:2 to about 2:3. The silicone component is a skin mildness/moisturizing aid which imparts superior, durable conditioning to skin washed with the composition. Processes for preparing a mild skin cleansing toilet bar with this silicone component are disclosed.

Abstract: A novel and effective treatment of psoriatic arthritis is provided using biologically active forms of vitamin D analogues and metabolites, and preferrably 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D.sub.3. The administration of vitamin D analogues and metabolites may be made orally, topically, or parenterally. Substitive improvements in both the arthritic condition and skin lesions result after approximately two month's treatment when effective dosages are provided and maintained.

Abstract: This invention relates to bleaching detergent compositions that provide effective and efficient surface bleaching of textiles over a wide range of bleach detergent solution temperatures. Surface bleaching of textiles is bleaching wherein the bleaching mechanism takes place on the textile surface and, thereby, removes stains and/or soils. The bleaching compositions within the invention contain either a mixture of peroxygen bleaches capable of yielding hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions and specific bleach activators or the corresponding percarboxylic acids and either a sulfosuccinate, a nitrilotriacetate or mixtures thereof as a bleach promoter.

The alpha-amine oxides have improved stability against metal-catalyzed decomposition in the present compositions. The compositions preferably also contain other surfactants and detergent adjunct materials.
