Abstract: A round of ammunition for firing from a gun having a rifled barrel, especially a small arms weapon. The projectile (1) forming a part of the round is of steel or other material having a Vickers Hardness value not less than 550, and has a coating (13) of copper or copper alloy. The projectile has a forward body portion (9) which has a diameter similar to that of the lands of the rifling, and a rearward body portion (3) having a diameter which is similar to the diameter defined by the roots of the rifling grooves. The coating (13) is of a thickness not less than the depth of the said rifling grooves, so that the rifling engraves the coating but does not significantly engrave the underlying steel or other hard material. The advantages associated with a hard projectile material are thus obtained without substantially increasing barrel wear.

Abstract: A method of treating acne in a human in need thereof comprising administering systemically to said human a tetracycline compound in an amount that is effective to treat acne but has substantially no antibiotic activity, without administering a bisphosphonate compound.

Abstract: A composition is provided for delivering a tetracycline compound to a mammal. The composition includes an antibiotic tetracycline compound and a controlled-release agent having at least one controlled-release agent. The tetracycline compound is associated with the controlled- release matrix to provide a release profile whereby the mammal is treated substantially without antibiotic activity. Methods for treating a mammal with a tetracycline compound and a dosage unit are also provided utilizing the controlled-release tetracycline composition.

Abstract: A container and method for storing and imparting a scent to an object. The container having an outer layer formed to define an object receiving space and fabricated of a moisture and gas barrier material. The container further having an inner layer having a scent incorporated therein such that, upon an object being disposed in the object receiving space, the scent of the inner layer is imparted to the object while the outer layer serves as a barrier to prevent surrounding objects from being contaminated with the scent.
