Abstract: Synthetic fibers and synthetic fiber textile materials finished with mineral oil finishes, silicone oil finishes or both can be simultaneously stripped of these finishes and dyed in one liquor comprising as essential ingredientsa) anionic and/or amphoteric surfactants,b) dyes, andc) optionally further compounds selected from the group consisting of the nonionic surfactants, the terpene hydrocarbons/alcohols, sorbitol esters and their alkoxylates, fatty acid ethanolamides, alkylpolyglycosides and solvents.The treatment is carried out at pH 4.0 to 7.5 at 80-110.degree. C. and at a liquor ratio of 5:1 to 100:1.

Abstract: Stable compositions for dyeing of human hair in an aqueous carrier, providing durable, light-fast hair colorations, comprisinga) 0.0001% to 2.5% by wt. of at least one cationic directly acting hair dyestuff;b) 0.1% to 10% by wt. of at least one zwitterionic (amphoteric) surfactant; andc) 0.1% to 5% by wt. of at least one water-soluble UV-absorbing compound bearing an anionic group,all percentages calculated to the total composition.
Abstract: A system providing universal support for patients includes an articulated platform supported by a universal joint supported by a pair of hydraulic support arms, and by a pair of lesser hydraulic arms spaced from the universal joint. The platform is comprised of a plurality of relatively hinged panels which are also hydraulicly driven. Thus, the platform is capable of assuming a large number of configurations, including full sitting and standing positions. A patient cushion system includes a large plurality of cushions which are individually or severally controlled through a valve and manifold system which is computer controlled for cycling cushion pressures between high and low pressures. The sides of the bed platform have restraining members which may be lowered and hinged in toward the patient to provide access to the patient. These restraining members also provide for supplemental support of such things as a canopy or tension weight.
Abstract: New condensation products of the formula ##STR1## wherein R represents alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, aryl, or halogen, M represents hydrogen, an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or an ammonium group, and n is a number from 1 to 3; these products are particularly useful as dyeing assistants for dyeing synthetic polyamide fibres with anionic dyes.
