Title: A method of treating a plant or crop
Inventor: BUCHAN PIETER WALTER WILLIAM
IPC: B05B7/24
Filed: 1999-07-12
Granted: 2003-04-17
Abstract: A method of treating a plant or crop includes exposing the plant or crop to an aqueous treatment stream which contains a wetting agent and calcium hypochlorite. Calcium hypochlorite is introduced into an aqueous flow stream to produce a treatment stream. The calcium hypochlorite produces hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite ions, calcium ions and hydroxyl ions and it is introduced so as to produce a treatment stream having a calcium hypochlorite concentration of between about 0.19 and 0.38 mM and a calcium ion concentration of between about 0.19 and 0.38 mM. The wetting agent is added to the water from which the flow stream is generated or to the flow stream or to the treatment stream and the plant or crop is exposed to the treatment stream.

Title: An absorbent core having a density gradient
Inventor: CRAINIC SORIN
IPC: A61F13/56
Filed: 1993-07-16
Granted: 1997-09-11
Abstract: In a sanitary napkin (10), the retention layer (34) of the absorbent core is covered by a first tissue sheet of a density between 0.01 g/cm3 and 0.1 g/cm3 and by a second tissue sheet of a density between 0.08 and 0.3 g/cm3, the difference in density between the tissue sheets being between 0.01 g/cm3 and 0.2 g/cm3. The density gradient on top of the retention layer (34) results in a relatively high efficiency of the retention layer (34) and in efficient draining of the topmost tissue sheet, so that chances of rewet are reduced.

Granted: 1994-02-24
Abstract: A child resistant box (20) which is composed of a base (23), a lid (22) and a hinge (30) connecting the base (23) and lid (22) together. A latching mechanism is located on each of the two sides of the box for releasably retaining the lid (22) to the base (23). The box (20) can be moved between open, intermediate, and closed positions. The box (20) also includes a means for biasing the lid from the intermediate position toward the closed position. To open the box (20) the lid (22) is compressed to the intermediate position. In this intermediate position, the latching mechanism may be disengaged by exerting manual pressure thereon toward the center of the box (20). Once pressure is exerted simultaneously on both latching mechanisms the lid (22) is released and the biasing means moves the lid (22) at least partially toward the open position. The operation of this box (20) is particularly well-suited for the elderly. Although this child resistant box can house virtually anything, it is particularly well suited for housing a set of blister cards which include a plurality of medicaments to be taken at different times during a therapeutic regimen.

Title: Stable pharmaceutical composition of 3-(hydroxymethyl)-5,5-diphenylhydantoin disodium phosphate ester
Inventor: HERBRANSON DALE E
IPC: A61K31/661
Filed: 1990-05-24
Granted: 1992-12-17
Abstract: Described is a stable pharmaceutical composition of 3-(hydroxymethyl-5,5-diphenylhydantoin disodium phosphate ester, the prodrug of 5,5-diphenylhydantoin (phenytoin) a commonly used drug for the treatment and management of epilepsy and other types of convulsive states. It has been found that degradation of the prodrug to phenytoin can be controlled by controlling the pH of the composition. Controlling the pH to between 8.3 to 9.4 results in the production of diphenylglycinamide as the primary degradant and minimization of degradation to phenytoin. If the pH is maintained at a lower or higher value, then the degradation pattern changes, with earlier than expected product failure.
