The present invention relates to an antipyrotic having compositions excellent for treating burn and a normally used carrier in a fixed ratio, and a method of manufacturing the same. The antipyrotic of the present invention has, as its main composition, a carbonized pine cone that is yielded by completely combusting selected pine cones put in a sealed container after washing and drying at a temperature of 100 to 300 DEG C. and has, as an additive, a normally used carrier. As described in detail, the present invention provides provide a cream or ointment type of antipyrotic that can easily treat with excellent treating power serious burn more than the second degree burn as well as slight burn that does not require special treatment by medical specialist.

Their treatment ability is excellent and they can shorten the treatment period considerably and leave almost no scars on the skin after complete healing. They are made of plant formulations and thus show almost no side effects to the human body. In the prior treatment of using gauze, the patients complain about pain caused as the gauze and the scab are exfoliated together, when the gauze is removed from the affected region after a certain period. However, the antipyrotic of the present invention can be applied to the affected region softly without causing pains and thus are convenient to use.

Abstract:

A dilutable cleaning composition comprises a pH-elevating component and a pH-lowering component, the composition being such that when it is mixed with water the pH-elevating component dissolves or disperses in the water thereby elevating the pH of the water to at least 8.5 and subsequently the pH-lowering component dissolves or disperses in the water, thereby lowering the pH of the water from at least 8.5 to not more than 4. When the water is at the raised pH, the cleaning composition is effective in removing proteinaceous or fatty soiling, and when the composition is at the lowered pH, the composition is effective at removing alkaline waste materials such as limescale. The cleaning composition is particularly suitable for use as a lavatory or hard surface cleaner.

Abstract:

Provided herein is a system for using a cleaning web in an electrostatic printing process to provide a uniform and thin wax layer on the fuser roll and thereby minimize print history effects, reduce triboelectric voltages on the fuser roll and provide uniform and improved release of the toner from the fuser roll. The application of this beneficial thin film to the fuser roll is accomplished by impregnating the cleaning web with a wax material that is substantially the same as the wax material in the toner used in the system. This impregnated wax, therefore, has the same release and triboelectric properties as the wax in the toner and therefore will not attract residual toner but will rather repel it.

Title: Fragrance delivery system for surface cleaners and conditioners

Applicant/Assignee: FIRMENICH SA

Application No.: 11/408179   Filing Date: 21/Apr/2006

Abstract:

We claim a fragrance delivery system consisting of a mixture of various polymers oligomers and stabilizers capable of forming a surfactant complex gel dispersion when combined with a cleansing surfactant base and yielding high levels of fragrance deposition onto the skin, hair or other surface such as a textile, from a cleansing or softening consumer product comprising a micelle forming surfactant. The internal phase or dispersible phase of this surfactant complex gel dispersion (GLPPD) is made of a mixture of various immiscible polymers, oligomers and stabilizers forming a complex gel with the surfactant platform and whose ratio and composition are selected to dissolve preferentially a wide range of fragrance raw materials.

The selection criteria are, first, that the fragrance should present a higher fragrance partitioning ratio into the surfactant complex gel phase than into the free micelles of the surfactant, second, that the surfactant complex gel should not be further solubilized by the free micelles, and third, that the polymer mixture selected should complex with the surfactant system. The external or dispersing phase of the GLPPD is made of a single cationic polymer or a mixture of cationic polymers that have been hydrated and associated with the surfactant to form a complex gel structure that cannot be further solubilized by the free micelles.

Application No.: 10/953967   Filing Date: 28/Sep/2004

Abstract:

A method of cleaning water systems and an oxidizer (e.g., a potassium monopersulfate composition) that is used for the method are presented. When potassium monopersulfate is used as the oxidizer, it preferably has a low concentration (<0.5 wt. %) of potassium oxodisulfate byproduct that causes irritation. The low potassium oxodisulfate concentration allows the composition to be used more liberally than conventional potassium monopersulfate. To control the release rate of the oxidizer, the oxidizer is formed into a tablet and placed in an enclosure. The enclosure has pores such that water enters the enclosure at a controlled rate and dissolves the oxidizer. The oxidizer solution that is generated in the enclosure enters the water system through the pores.

Optionally, the composition may also include a layer of coating material either under or over the enclosure that further controls the rate of oxidizer dissolution.

Abstract:

Compositions and methods of treating textiles are disclosed. More specifically, stable compositions and methods for softening a wide range of fabrics are disclosed, including 100% cotton and hydrophobic synthetic fabrics, without detrimentally affecting the water absorbency properties of the fabrics. The compositions and methods provide desirable odor control without interfering with the stability of the product. The compositions contain at least one fatty material, water-dispersible polyolefin or at least one water-soluble or waterdispersible polyorganosiloxane, and at least one bleaching agent, preferably hydrogen peroxide. The compositions may optionally contain discrete, individual polymer particles, preferably polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl acetate (PVA), polyvinyl acetate/acrylic copolymer (PVA/a), or a combination thereof.

The compositions are particularly useful when added to the rinse water in the laundering process, or in the final scouring of a fabric finishing operation.

Title: Method and device for the continuous determination of damage to systems used for the post-treatment of heat engine exhaust gases

Applicant/Assignee: DELTA SERVICES INDUSTRIELS S.P.R.L TOTAL FINA ELF FRANCE

Application No.: 10/539374   Filing Date: 16/Dec/2003

Abstract:

The invention relates to a method for the continuous determination of the damage to at least one system ( 7 ) used for the post-treatment of exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine ( 2 ), caused by the lubricating oil, the fuel and/or at least one lubricating oil additive and/or fuel additive used. The inventive method consists in: (i) using a determined quantity of at least one radiotracer in order to modify the lubricating oil, the fuel and/or the additive for which the impact on the post-treatment system ( 7 ) is to be measured

(ii) measuring the quantity of radiotracer originating from the exhaust gases which has accumulated in the post-treatment system ( 7 ), said measurement being taken using a detector ( 10 ) which is sensitive to radiation emitted by the radiotracer that has accumulated in the post-treatment system ( 7 )

and (iii) transmitting the measurements taken by the detector ( 10 ) to a programmed computer ( 11 ) which can convert said measurements into the degree of damage caused to the post-treatment system by the lubricating oil, the fuel and/or the additive(s). The invention also relates to a device which is used to implement the inventive method.

A dope stock solution to be filtrated is first introduced into a body feed tank and a filter aid from a filter aid tank is added and dispersed. As the filter aid, an aid including SiO2 in 50% or more and a cellulose-based aid are mixed for use. The dope stock solution in which the filter aid is dispersed is introduced into a filter machine and subjected to filtration while forming a cake on the surface of the filtering material. After the filtration, a cleaning solvent is supplied in circulation from a cleaning solvent tank, and the cake is discharged as slurry.

The filter aid is separated from the slurry by a separating device and burned in a burning device. Then, a regenerated filter aid is sent to the filter aid tank. After the cleaning, a precoat liquid in which the filter aid is dispersed is supplied from a precoat tank to the filter machine to form a precoat layer on the surface of the filtering material.
