Abstract: A high density seal connector for use in an automotive vehicle. The connector includes a strain relief member when the strain relief member has an outer frame which in part defines the connector. The strain relief member further includes a protective inner cover which is attached to an inside surface of the frame. The inner cover also includes an inside surface and an outside surface which has a plurality of orifices therethrough. The connector also includes a resilient seal member which is molded directly to the inside surface of the inner cover. The seal member includes a plurality of seal plugs which fill a predetermined number of the orifices of the inner cover.

Abstract: A desensitizing anti-tartar dentifrice of low stringiness upon extrusion from a tube or other container onto a toothbrush is provided which also retains desirable cream or gel consistency without becoming thick and difficult to extrude and retains phase integrity without substantial separation, which contains polyphosphate or phosphono compound anti-tartar agent and potassium salt tooth pain inhibitor and in which the gelling agent is a mixture of alkali metal carboxymethyl cellulose, (CMC) and xanthan, wherein the CMC contains about 1.0 to 1.5 carboxymethyl groups per anhydroglycose unit.

Abstract: A striped dentrifrice stable color bleeding, wherein at least one component contains a colorant entrained in the matrix of substantially non-fracturable, partially cross-linked melamine-urea-formaldehyde condensation polymer particles, whereby on storage the colorant does not bleed any color into any other dentifrice component. The dentifrice may also contain a formaldehyde scavenger to bind-up any formaldehyde released from the particles.

Abstract: An extrudable composite multilayer dentifrice composition for cleaning teeth containing reactive bicarbonate and peroxide ingredients which do not interact during storage or when extruded together from a container onto a toothbrush but react in the oral cavity when mixed during tooth brushing, the composition comprising two separate dentifrice components, one component containing a peroxide ingredient and the other component containing a colorant reactive with the peroxide ingredient, the components having substantially equivalent viscosity which are maintained in stable discrete layered phases in interfacial contact with each other prior to extrusion without interaction of the peroxide and the colorant and which are extrudable together in interfacial contact without interaction of the ingredients.

Abstract: A dentifrice composition containing reactive ingredients such as peroxide and bicarbonate compounds which are stabilized to decomposition during storage by incorporating in dentifrice composition about 1.0 to about 5.0% by weight of an alkali metal compound.

Abstract: A composite tape for the storage and delivery of very small electronic components makes use of a carrier strip with pockets for containment of individual components and a cover strip. The cover strip extends over all the pockets to hold the components in the pockets until needed. Sprocket holes extend along the side of the carrier strip and are used for reeling up long composite tapes when loaded and for unreeling when components are to be removed. At the time of removal two take-up reels are used. One of the take-up reels pulls the cover strip away from the carrier strip to uncover the pockets. The other take-up reel progressively rolls up the carrier strip after the components have been lifted from the pockets. Various expedients are used for releasably securing the cover strip to the carrier strip.

Abstract: A cosmetically and therapeutically stable antiplaque dentifrice comprising a combination of hexetidine, a soluble zinc salt and a fluoride compound capable of providing a fluoride ion, as the antiplaque agent in dental vehicle containing a polyethylene glycol humectant and a dental abrasive.

Abstract: A dentifrice composition of desirable rheological properties suitable for efficient filling into a mechanically operated or pressure differential dentifrice dispenser and extrusion therefrom which dentifrice comprises an alpha-alumina trihydrate polishing agent and many active ingredients and a gelling agent mixture of a cellulosic gelling agent such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and iota-carrageenan.

Abstract: A stable antiplaque dentifrice with improved foaming containing an antiplaque quaternary ammonium compound, a betaine surfactant to improve foaming without inactivating the antibacterial and antiplaque activity of the quaternary ammonium compound, a humectant selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol, sorbitol and mixtures thereof, and a nonionic gelling agent, preferably hydroxyethylcellulose, in an aqueous vehicle containing a dental abrasive. A fluorine-containing compound such as monofluorophosphate is an optionally preferred ingredient.

Abstract: A stable antiplaque dentifrice with improved foaming and improved fluoride stability containing an antiplaque quaternary ammonium compound, a betaine surfactant to improve foaming without inactivating the anti-bacterial and antiplaque activity of the quaternary ammonium compound, a humectant selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol, sorbitol, and mixtures thereof, a nonionic gelling agent, preferably hydroxyethylcellulose and a fluorine-containing compound capable of providing a fluoride ion, a small amount of glycerin to improve fluoride stability in polyethylene glycol humectant, in an aqueous vehicle containing a dental abrasive. A small amount of glycerin, as low as 1%, improves the long term fluoride stability of the dentifrice without adversely affecting the cosmetic stability thereof.

Abstract: A method and composition for improving hair body and manageability while not effecting a change in color, such method comprising applying to the hair an effective amount of an aqueous solution of from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of an aromatic peracid oxidizing agent, particularly m-chloroperbenzoic acid and diperisophthalic acid, the aromatic peracid oxidizing agents providing maximum reaction with the fiber surface producing increased hair body and manageability with minimum diffusion into the interior of the hair so as to avoid effecting a change in color.
