A disposable urinal for collecting and containing human female urine that enables a female to void while lying supine for collecting a urine specimen or in a sitting position for laboratory analysis and the like. The urinal has a lower receptacle section for storing the urine, a narrowed neck portion and outwardly extending, diverging cuplike portions forming an inlet opening that fits against the body tissue around and spaced from the urethral opening between the labia without direct contact wi...

A simulated human milk for feeding babies is prepared by treating whey with an anion-exchange resin to remove substantially all anions of weak acids from the whey, adding to the whey a protein produced by pouring a quantity of skim milk into a solution of acid to produce a mixture having a pH between 4.4 and 5.1, adding fats, vitamins and minerals to the protein and whey mixture, homogenizing the resultant mixture and subsequently adding lactose.

A powdery bath composition for human body which spontaneously generates a temperature suitable for bathing without the application of any external heat comprising a mixture of 90 to 10% by weight of powdery coffee grounds left after extraction of coffee essence and 10 to 90% by weight of powder of a vegetable material selected from the group consisting of extraction residues of vegetable seeds, defatted vegetables, baggasse, corn core and pineapple stalk, wherein the water content is adjusted to...

A method for coating human nails in which a basecoat composition comprising a water-soluble or water-swellable polymer dissolved in a solvent is first applied to the nails and allowed to dry. This is followed by the application of a photocurable polymer composition which is then exposed to a light source to cure the coating of photocurable polymer.

A slip-on conductive rubber boot or overshoe has toe, heel and side sections which come up over a worker's shoe far enough to insure a good electrical contact between the human wearing the boot or overshoe and ground, regardless of the body position. An integral conductive rubber strap extends from the boot or overshoe upwardly toward a garter for encircling the leg above the calf. A comfortable connector on the garter insures the snug, but not tight fit of the garter. There are no snaps to unsn...

The apparatus includes logic for examining the signature of the signal received from a seismic sensor, for measuring the duration of the disturbances and the time interval between successive disturbances and for determining, on basis of such information, whether the disturbances are or are not caused by human footsteps.

An electrical circuit which is capable of producing a varying signal output, either in frequency or amplitude which is responsive to the changing resistivity sensed on the skin of a subject. Electrodes are placed on the subject's body and as the surface resistance changes, an audible signal is produced which can aid the subject in relaxing.

As a dermatologic treatment, human skin is abraded by rubbing with a soft, resilient, compressible buffing pad comprising a lofty non-woven web of hypo-allergic, hydrophobic plastic fibers, the fibers in the web being randomly intermingled and bonded together at randomly spaced points where they cross.

An acuity meter for presenting visual acuity targets to the eye of a human subject being tested in order to determine accurately and conveniently the acuity capability of his visual system. The apparatus includes an optical display which presents a plurality of targets, one at a time, to the person being tested, a set of switches by which the person being tested indicates his response, and an electronic control system which controls the presentation of the targets in accordance with the subject'...

Human placental hyaluronidase preparation is prepared by extracting hyaluronidase from human placenta with an aqueous alkaline solution, harvesting globulin fraction from the extract, selectively adsorbing hyaluronidase contained in the fraction on an anion exchanger such as DEAE-Cellulose and eluting it, gel-filtrating the eluate, and lyophilizing the filtrate into powder. The hyaluronidase thus obtained has a molecular weight of about 70,000, with isoelectric point of pH 5.2, and enzymatic opt...
