Abstract: Described is a process for counteracting malodors including but not limited to pet malodor, tobacco malodor and mildew malodor comprising using as an additive to a base perfume composition a mixture consisting essentially of from about 20 up to about 60% musk, from about 30% up to about 70% citrus, and from about 1% up to about 20% mint. Adding from about 0.5% up to about 20% of such a malodor coverage formulation will yield from about a 10% up to about a 75% improvement in malodor neutralization efficacy; and a composition useful in such process.

Abstract: A process for electrodepositing a coating on an electroconductive article employed as an anode by immersing the electroconductive article in a photoimageable electrodeposition coating composition comprising an aqueous dispersion of (a) a water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer having an acid value of 20 to 300, and a number average molecular weight of not less than 300 with the proviso that when the polymer is unsaturated, it has an unsaturated equivalent of 150 to 3000, and when the polymer is saturated it is used in combination with an ethylenically unsaturated compound; (b) an initiator or initiating system, and (c) a defined metal salt of a .beta. diketone.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous-processable, positive-working photoresist composition having improved photospeed and aqueous development rate without substantially reducing processing latitude in printed circuit chemistries. The compositions contain (a) a polymeric material having a polymer backbone with pendant acid labile groups which are bound directly or indirectly to the polymer backbone, and free acid groups, wherein the polymeric material has an acid number of about 25 and is substantially insoluble in 1% by weight aqueous sodium carbonate solution at 30.degree. C., and (b) a substance that forms an acid upon exposure to actinic radiation. The positive photoresists of this invention may be used to prepare printed circuits wherein the photoresist may be applied to the printed circuit substrate as a liquid coating, as a solid, dry film or from an electrodeposition bath.

Abstract: An improved non-lighting fluorescent lamp substitute to replace one lamp in a two-lamp series connected circuit so that the circuit is completed through the remaining lamp allowing it to light, whereas without the lamp substitute, the circuit is incomplete if one lamp is removed and then the other lamp is unable to light. In one form, the device is wired into a light fixture, while in another form, it looks like a conventional fluorescent lamp and fits into the sockets of the fixture. Either form cuts power consumption substantially in half with a corresponding reduction in light output. The improvement is a triac in the device that limits the magnitude of the effective arc current by phase angle control to the original design current of the lamp and ballast in order to achieve the normally expected life of the lamp and ballast.

Abstract: An improved temperature control apparatus includes a main control unit of the on-off type which is utilized to maintain a room at a relatively high temperature during the day and a secondary control unit which is utilized to maintain the room at a relatively low temperature during the night. When it is desired to change from the high day temperature to the low night temperature, an actuator button on the secondary control unit is manually depressed. Depressing the actuator button moves a relay contact to complete a holding circuit. This holding circuit includes a battery which supplies energy to maintain the relay actuated. When the air conditioning system has been operated to maintain the relatively low night temperature for the desired length of time, the battery will have been discharged to such an extent that it is no longer effective to hold the relay actuated.
