摘要:
A method and system for in vivo dermal absorption testing of a laboratory animal uses a mask and harness for protecting the respiratory tract of the animal when the animal housed within a sealed chamber with a hazardous test vapor introduced in the chamber. Because of the difficulty of getting a good seal with a protective mask on a laboratory animal, this system is designed with an air leak from inside the mask into the chamber. To ensure that the test vapor does not infiltrate the mask nor leak from the chamber, the vapor is maintained at a negative pressure within the chamber as compared to the external atmospheric pressure and air is supplied to the mask for the animal to breathe at a positive pressure and at a greater rate than that needed by the animal.

A duct cleaning device, including a flexible conduit with a first, inlet end and a second, outlet end. An end cap with a central hole is attached to the first end; a connector adapted for coupling the device to a vacuum hose (or the inlet of a vacuum cleaner) is attached to the second end. A flexible, radially-projecting brush is attached to the exterior of the conduit, extending helically about the conduit; a plurality of throughholes (some of which carry flexible, radially-projecting tubes) are positioned near the brush. In operation, the device is connected to a source of vacuum. The first end is rotated while being moved into (or removed from) a duct, while the brush sweeps the interior surface of the duct to dislodge particulates of house dust and other contaminants from the surface. The particulates are swept into the conduit through the hole in the end cap and the throughholes in the conduit. The conduit and the brush are flexible, so the device can readily traverse offsets and bends in duct systems without damaging flexible plastic or fiberglass ducts.

An aqueous machining fluid composition having improved resistance to microorganisms is provided. The fluid composition comprises in admixture: a) water, b) a water insoluble organic lubricant, c) a surface active agent selected from the group consisting of nonionic, anionic having up to and including 12 carbon atoms, and cationic surfactants and mixtures thereof and d) a water soluble polyquaternary cationic biocide. Machining processes comprising the step of supplying said aqueous machining fluid to the interface between the tool and the workpiece are also provided.
摘要:
A method is provided for obtaining an acceptable configuration of a thermally processed plastic container packed with food. Improvement in container configuration is attained by proper container design and by maintaining proper headspace of gases in the container during thermal processing and/or by controlled reforming of the bottom wall of the container. Further improvements are attained by controlling the thermal history of the empty container, such as by pre-shrinking the container before it is filled with food and sealed.
摘要:
Corrosion inhibiting aqueous functional fluids having high stability are provided which contain (a) water, (b) a corrision inhibiting, surface active, water soluble or dispersible alkali metal, ammonium or organic amine salt of a water insoluble carboxylic acid group terminated monoamide, (e.g. the triethanolamine salt of the carboxylic acid terminated monoamide reaction product between maleic acid and 1-amino-2-ethyl hexane), (c) a second surface active agent and optionally, (d) water soluble or dispersible lubricant. These functional fluids are useful as a metal working fluid or hydraulic fluid.
