Abstract: An implement for stimulation and cleansing of the scalp. An elongate, flexible handle formed by a pair of wire stems extending from a coil is provided. Scalp stimulation tips extend from the ends of the wire stems for being engaged on the scalp beneath a hairpiece. A cleansing pad is slidably mounted on the wire stems for cleansing the scalp. The cleansing pad may be moved between each end of the handle, so as to obscure the stimulation tips for cleansing without stimulation, or moved behind the tips for simultaneous cleansing and stimulation, or still further moved to the far end of the handle for scalp stimulation only.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for removing fish from a well, said apparatus including a top sub with upper and lower ends, the upper end adapted to be connected to a drill string, a grapple sleeve connected to the lower end of the top sub and a grapple, which in the preferred embodiment incorporates grapple fingers so as to externally engage and grasp a fish in a well slidably mounted within the grapple sleeve. The grapple is mounted to the top sub and extends out of and into the grapple sleeve such that once the fish is engaged the grapple may be withdrawn into the grapple sleeve, which in turn allows for the maintaining of a constant force on the grapple and fish engaged therein. The method of the present invention includes running into the well a drill string having a grappling tool attached thereto, locating the fish by making contact with the grappling tool, engaging the fish with the grapple, and removing the fish from the well.

Abstract: A device for assisting the crippled hand to turn a key in an automobile starter switch lock has an elongated member that firmly grips opposite faces of the key head and has longitudinal portions which rigidly extend the moment arm for application of turning force. In one form the device has recesses to receive the tabs of a steering column mounted starter switch. In another form, the device has a protuberance to project the key into the recess of a recessed switch on a dashboard. A preferred embodiment has hinged rigid panels with hollowed internal surfaces that mount keys for slidable and pivotal movement along tracked guideways. The internal surfaces have raised marginal edges interrupted by a slot through which the shank of a key may be passed.

Abstract: A device is disclosed into which a test solution can be added and at least the first step of a specific binding assay can be carried out. The device comprises a two compartment tube containing a removable rod having at one end a plurality of filaments coated with a specific binding partner for the analyte to be determined.

Abstract: This invention concerns thermoplastic polyester molding compositions containing iron oxides, particularly Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 which compositions exhibit markedly reduced heat up times and are especially useful in molding operations such as blow molding of beverage bottles. The polyester polymer may have incorporated therein by copolymerization certain anthraquinone dyes having functional groups which condense during polymerization into the polyester chain. The dye moieties are thermally stable at the polymer processing temperatures and are colorfast and non-extractable from the polymer.

Abstract: This invention relates to a sealing device for flexible closures for building openings, especially aircraft hangars, gymnasiums, etc. The device comprises elongate flexible sealing gaskets located alongside and substantially coextensive with each of the vertical building members on each side of the opening. The gaskets decline inwardly toward one another and each has a convex outer surface, which is skewed outwardly from the opening. The gaskets contact the flexible door along its vertical edges to seal it when closed and assist in preventing wrinkles or uneven winding of the flexible door on its roller.

Abstract: Thermosetting powder coating compositions comprising cellulose butyrate having a butyryl content of from about 35% to about 55% by weight, a hydroxyl content of from about 0.5% to about 3.0% by weight, and a viscosity of from about 0.05 to about 1.0 second are disclosed. The composition further comprises a crosslinking agent and a catalyst which allows the powder to flow out prior to fusion. Coatings formed by this composition have excellent physical properties and appearance.

Abstract: A powder coating composition particularly useful in coating unprimed substrates which comprises a particulate form of a carboxylated polyolefin. The carboxylated polyolefin is prepared by reacting a polyolefin with an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid component. The carboxylated polyolefin has a saponification number of about 2 to about 12. The carboxylated polyolefin also has either a melt flow of from about 15 to about 175 g./10 minutes at 230.degree.C. or a melt index of 5 to 75 at 190.degree.C. The particulate form has a particle size of less than 20 mesh.
