The present invention provides an anti-inflammatory composition for treatment of joint and muscle pain through transdermnal delivery of a capsacinoid in conjunction with glucosamine. The ingredients of the composition of the present invention, namely, a capsacinoid in combination with a primary amine, such as glucosamine, at a high concentration, interact in a synergistic manner to provide a prolonged effect of pain relief when used in the treatment of joint and/or muscle pain associated with an inflammatory response. The prolonged pain relief effect is achieved without incurring the intense burning or stinging sensation usually associated with topical capsaicin administration. The present invention also provides methods for relieving joint and/or muscle pain associated with an inflammatory response, which employ the composition of the present invention.

Transdermal delivery of an anti-inflammatory composition

The invention is a slicing orifice for use with a foodstuff slicing machine wherein the foodstuffs have been formed into loaves and the slicing machine includes a tray with a bed, a feed guide, a loaf indexing drive, a cutting head, an upper and lower clamping portion, a plurality of semicircular orifices in the clamping portions and being laterally offset from one another, wherein each orifice has a plurality of longitudinal gripping channels to effectively retain the foodstuffs during cutting.

A heat extracting substrate is moved along a melt front formed at the edge of the surface of a molten material so that a layer of molten material is deposited on the substrate, cooled and removed from the substrate to form ribbon, filaments, fiber or film directly from the molten material. The edge may be formed by providing an upper edge upon a portion of the wall of a receptacle lower than the top of the receptacle. The molten material may be overflowed over this relatively horizontal edge and against the moving substrate surface.

Melt overflow system for producing filamentary and film products

The present invention is directed to a method and the associated apparatus for producing rapidly solidified materials by spill chilling. The feed stock can include any of a variety of materials including a high melting point and reactive materials, as well as conventional iron, aluminum, copper and transition base commercially available alloys. A support surface is provided for the solid feed material. Means are provided for both globally and locally heating the feed material. The heating means can include resistant heaters, induction heaters, arcs, electron beam and plasma heaters. A focused energy source such as an electron beam, a laser beam, ion beam or an electric arc can be provided for locally heating the material. The molten feed material is spill chilled onto a moving chill surface. The moving chill surface can be in the form of a continuous belt or the rim of a rotating wheel. It is preferred that the chill surface be cooled and it is further preferred that cooling be provided to the side of the surface which is contacted by the spilled material. In a preferred embodiment means for replenishing the feed material and means for advancing the feed material into the pool so that it will continuously spill onto the moving chill surface are supplied.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing widgets from components and/or particulate; and to a can for containing such components and/or particulate during the consolidation into widgets. The method of the present invention can be used to form widgets from metals, ceramics, plastics, polymers, and/or combinations thereof. The materials used to form the widgets can be in the form of particulate, pellets, shard, and/or ribbon. The method of the present invention can also be used to join widgets and/or to heal ingot cracks.

The present invention is for a flat B containing amorphous powder based in Fe, Ni, Co or a combination thereof; a coating resulting from deposition of the powder; and a method for depositing the powder. The composition of the powder and the resulting coating consists essentially of the formulation: (Fe,Ni,Co).sub.bal Cr.sub.0-20 (Mn,Mo,W).sub.0-35 (B,Si,C).sub.5-25 (Al,Ti).sub.0-10 where the subscripts are in atomic percent and with the proviso that 4.ltoreq.B.ltoreq.15, and that the balance will exceed 50%.

Amorphous metal hardfacing coatings

The method of the present invention improves the density, strength and bonding of coatings which have previously been applied to substrates by prior art methods such as chemical deposition, electrochemical processed, thermal deposition, and mechanical coating. The method of the present invention subjects the coated substrate to a thermal mechanical process in the form of a compressive stress which is applied to the coating at a temperature greater than about 0.5 T.sub.i and less than T.sub.i where T.sub.i is the incipient melting temperature. The compressive stress is preferably applied through a pressure transfer medium and should be greater in magnitude than about 30 ksi. The dwell time under maximum compressive stress can be from about 0.1 second to about 10 seconds depending on the temperature of the coating, the substrate and the magnitude of the compressive stress.

Method for improving the density, strength and bonding of coatings

The present invention is for a flat platelet powder for deposition onto a substrate. The powder is formed by fracture of brittle sheet or ribbon. The resulting powder has a faceted outline formed by fracture. The powder of the present invention produces a dense deposit.

The present invention is for an improved aluminum alloy powder for making consolidated products with an improved combination of strength and ductility. The alloy is cast as ribbon or flake which subsequently pulverized.

Method for homogenizing the structure of rapidly solidified

The present invention is a chemically homogeneous microcrystalline powder for deposition onto a substrate. The powder is a B containing alloy based in Fe, Ni, Co or a combination thereof.

Chemically homogeneous microcrystalline metal powder for coating

A method for recovering a usable alloy consisting of 2.5 - 3.5% aluminum, 1.7 - 2.50% tin and balance titanium from titanium scrap is disclosed. The method comprises cleaning the scrap, charging the cleaned scrap into an electron beam furnace and refining the charge under a hard vacuum so as to attain a predetermined composition.
