IPC: B01D15/20
Filed: 2010-06-14
Abstract: In an axial-flow preparative chromatography column that contains a piston, commonly termed an adaptor, that is lowered over the top of the resin, the ability to lower the piston in a controlled manner to minimize the chances of damage to the resin is achieved by use of an aperture either in the piston head itself or in a compound bolt that secures the upper column frit to the piston head. The aperture is closed with a removable plug during storage and use of the piston head and column. During packing of the bed, however, the plug is replaced by a graduated rod operating as a dipstick to allow the op-erator to determine the distance between the bottom face of the piston head and the upper surface of the column packing.

Title: Silver hydrosol, dental application and other uses thereof
Inventor: WILLOUGHBY ANDREW J M
IPC: A61K6/884
Filed: 2010-06-10
Abstract: Microbiologically effective silver hydrosol is used to reduce the local level of microorganisms at the site of a dental procedure and to prevent or inhibit their growth during the healing that follows the procedure. Any gingival lesions created by a dental procedure are treated with silver hydrosol in an aqueous gel. Following the procedure the patient's mouth is periodically rinsed several times a day with a solution of silver hydrosol or, more preferably, with a combination of silver hydrosol and hydrogen peroxide. These steps result in a significant reduction in post operative pain and swelling. Overall healing is accelerated by this treatment.
