Inventor: LIN ZUCHEN
IPC: C09K23/00
Filed: 2000-01-10
Abstract: A multiple emulsion of the type W<sub>1</sub>/O/W<sub>2</sub> is disclosed by first preparing a primary emulsion W<sub>1</sub>/O using a silicone fluid as the oil phase (O) and an elastomeric silicone polyether as an emulsifier for dispersing water phase W<sub>1</sub> into oil phase (O). The primary emulsion W<sub>1</sub>/O is then added and dispersed into a final continuous water phase W<sub>2</sub> to form a multiple emulsion W<sub>1</sub>/O/W<sub>2</sub>. The multiple emulsions are useful in the preparation of formulations for treating the hair, the skin or the underarm areas of the human body. Vitamins or drugs can be included in the oil phase (O) or in either aqueous phase W<sub>1</sub> or W<sub>2</sub> of the multiple emulsions.

Abstract: A control system for a vehicle situated device (1) includes a
shut-out arrangement (3) denying access to, or disabling an
adjustment feature (5) of the device (1) but permitting the device
to operate in a predetermined mode of operation when the
vehicle is in a first state of operation. The shut-out
means (3) is disabled or overridable when the vehicle is in
an alternate state of operation, thereby permitting the
respective adjustment feature (5) to be accessed or enabled.
The shut-out arrangement (3) is typically operated to deny
access to or disable the relevant adjustment feature (5) of
the vehicle situated device (1) when the vehicle engine is
running and/or when the vehicle is in motion. The
arrangement reduces driver distraction and thereby reduces
driver error and the risk of accident.

support sleeve portion 11 which is located on an external side, and an
engagement recess 43 is formed in an inner peripheral surface of a support
sleeve portion 21 which is located on an internal side. That end face of the
