Hand sanitizers are provided with improved aesthetics and skin-conditioning effects, such that healthcare workers and others subject to high frequency hand hygiene requirements are encouraged to comply with said requirements. The hand sanitizers provide excellent antimicrobial efficacy and skin conditioning benefits that actually increase with increased frequency of use. The sanitizing compositions are hydroalcoholic, and contain a synergistic combination of skin-conditioning agents.

A method and apparatus are provided to quantify psychological and physiological components to measure acute stress in humans, in which a stimulus can be applied to the test subject's environment during the test. The method involves multiple stress/relaxation intervals while physiological measurements are taken and 'measured,' and involves questionnaires that are answered after each of the intervals to 'measure' the test subject's psychological state. A computerized testing apparatus acquires the physiological measurements, and also is used by the test subject in answering the questionnaires. The &#x201c;stimulus&#x201d; can be a fragrance, flavor, product, or task, and a &#x201c;blank stimulus&#x201d; is normally used during one of the stress intervals.

Apparatus for measuring acute stress

Antimicrobial compositions that provide enhanced immediate and residual anti-viral and antibacterial efficacy against rhinovirus, rotavirus, coronovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and combinations thereof. More specifically, antimicrobial compositions comprising an organic acid or organic acid mixture and a short-chain anionic surfactant having at least one of a large head group; a branched alkyl chain and an unsaturated alkyl chain. Further, products incorporating the antimicrobial compositions of the present invention and methods of using the antimicrobial compositions and products are disclosed herein.

Disclosed are denture adhesive compositions possessing improved aesthetics and comprising a component which provides for easy removal of the adhesive from the denture and a hydrophilic powder.

Denture stabilizing compositions

Stabilizer compositions including specific mixed partial salts of a lower alkyl vinyl ether-maleic acid copolymer, the partial salts containing from about 15% to about 40% free acid, are disclosed. The cationic salt function is from about 0.1% to about 9.9% zinc or strontium cations, and from about 20% to about 67% calcium cations of the total initial carboxyl groups are reacted. Also disclosed are denture stabilizing compositions including a safe and adhesively effective amount of two or more denture adhesive components where one of the denture adhesive components is the above mixed partial salt.

Personal cleansing compositions comprising alkali metal soap and nonionic guar gum-fatty acid-alkali metal hydroxide complex and exhibiting improved physical properties, lather properties, and mildness. The toilet bars comprise alkali metal soap and from about 0.5 to about 8% by weight nonionic guar gum, which guar gum is provided as a pre-reacted complex prepared by suspending one part by weight guar gum in from about 1 to about 12 parts by weight molten fatty acid and reacting with the suspension from about 0.03 to about 0.2 part by weight alkali metal hydroxide per each part by weight coconut fatty acid.

Soap composition

Personal cleansing compositions comprising alkali metal soap and guar gum-coconut fatty acid-sodium hydroxide complex and exhibiting improved physical properties, lather properties, and mildness. The toilet bars comprise alkali metal soap and from about 0.5 to about 8% by weight guar gum, which guar gum is provided as a pre-reacted complex prepared by suspending one part by weight guar gum in from about 1 to about 12 parts by weight molten coconut fatty acid and reacting with the suspension from about 0.03 to about 0.2 part by weight sodium hydroxide per each part by weight coconut fatty acid.

A method for reclaiming gold in metallic form from gold-containing scrap, including gold-containing base metal alloys and articles in which base metals are at least partially covered with a layer of gold. The method includes the steps of exposing the gold-containing scrap under an inert atmosphere to a leaching solution. The leaching solution has dissolved therein an oxidizing agent including metal ions capable of assuming at least two oxidation states, a portion of the metal ions being in the higher of the two oxidation states. The leaching solution also contains a complexing agent including halide ions in aqueous solution. By so exposing the gold-containing scrap to the leaching solution, base metal contained therein is dissolved to leave a solid metallic residue enriched in gold. The solid metallic residue then is collected mechanically.
