Abstract: A method for making an inorganic oxide supported catalyst involves impregnating an inorganic oxide component with a catalytic metal using an aqueous, acid bath. More specifically, the method involves forming and washing an inorganic oxide component, such as a silica gel or a silica co-gel, for example a silica-zirconia co-gel. The washed inorganic oxide component is then contacted with the acidic bath to effect the impregnation with the catalytic metal, such as cesium, to form an activated inorganic oxide component. Subsequently, the activated component is dried to form the catalyst. The resulting catalysts possess increased surface area, which is beneficial with respect to accessibility and amount of catalytically active sites.

Abstract: A stethoscope glove provides a simple and effective way to improve the hygienic practice of medicine by promoting universal precaution in disease prevention. The single use glove is designed to shield the stethoscope bell or diaphragm, thereby preventing direct contact of the stethoscope to one patient and then to the next. Practicing universal precaution by everyone in the medical community can help eliminate serious healthcare-associated and community- acquired diseases, such as the staphylococcal infection called MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus).  The invention may come in many sizes and may be supplied and marketed in kit form - including a box holder with the two portions, a supply of prestretched glove units, and, of course, instructions. Because the glove units and the box holders may be directed to different sizes/styles of stethoscope use, there may be different kits available. A kit may also contain wall-mounting hardware.
