Abstract: Systems for delivering explosives including homogenizing agents and methods of delivering explosives including homogenizing agents are provided. Methods of mixing homogenizing agents with emulsion matrices are also provided. The methods can include supplying an emulsion matrix, mixing a homogenizing agent with the emulsion matrix into a mixed product, and homogenizing the mixed product into a homogenized product. The homogenized product can be sensitized and/or conveyed to a blasthole.

Abstract: Explosive compositions including coated urea and an explosive including ammonium nitrate and fuel oil are provided. The explosive compositions can generate reduced levels of nitrogen oxide upon detonation. Methods of loading a blasthole with the explosive compositions and methods of reducing post-blast nitrogen oxide are also provided.

Abstract: A toilet training device includes a seat defining a cavity shaped to accommodate a child, with an aperture the seat, and a base on which the seat can be mounted. The base defines a pair of receptacles of unequal size. The seat has a peripheral rim for mounting the seat on the base or on the rim of a toilet, and a central seat member which extends below the rim. The aperture is formed near the base of the seat member and has a teardrop shape which accommodates both male and female children. The seat includes a backrest at a first end thereof, the backrest being shaped to support a child using the device. The backrest defines a predetermined angle relative to the vertical to hold the child's body in a correct position for use of the device. The seat can be used in conjunction with the base in first and second “potty” configurations, and can be located on the rim of a toilet bowl in a third configuration of the device.

Abstract: A toilet training system comprises a seat (10) and a complemental base (12). The seat has a central seat member (34) with a curved surface defining a cavity shaped to accommodate a child, with an aperture (36) in its lower surface. The base comprises a cylindrical outer side wall (42) and a partition member extending transversely relative to the side wall to define a receptacle. The partition member has a central portion (50) with a surface which is inclined or curved complementally to the curved surface of the seat member. The seat can be mounted on the base in first and second configurations of the system. In the first configuration, the central portion of the partition member is located relatively close to the seat member, preferably touching it. This corresponds to a training or familiarising mode of use of the system. In the second configuration the partition member is spaced relatively further apart from the seat member, in which mode the system can be used as a potty.
