Title: Conditioning shampoo compositions containing surfactant and cationic copolymer combination that forms liquid crystals
Inventor: BROWN MARK ANTHONY
IPC: A61K8/00
Filed: 2003-06-04
Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous conditioning shampoo compositions which comprise an anionic detersive surfactant component; from about 0.025% to about 5% by weight of a water soluble or dispersible, cationic, non crosslinked, deposition or conditioning polymer;  the conditioning shampoo may additionally comprise dispersed, liquid, droplets of a water insoluble, hair conditioning agent having a volume average particle diameter of from about 5 microns to about 125 microns. A homopolymer has a cationic charge density from about 2 meq/gm to about 4 meq/gm or a cationic charge density of from about 5 meq/gm to about 10 meq/gm;  or an average molecular weight of at least 500,000. A copolymer is formed from one or more cationic monomer units and one or more nonionic monomer units or monomer units bearing a negative charge wherein the subsequent charge of the copolymer is positive. The cationic polymer, in combination with anionic detersive surfactant component and other essential components, provides improved deposition of the conditioning agent on hair or skin, even when the dispersed conditioning agent particles have a volume average particle size of up to about 125 microns. The composition may be applied to skin or hair, and provides improved conditioning performance even without the use of the dispersed hair conditioning agent particles.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a fermented food/beverage, which comprises adding a lactic acid bacterium strain belonging to Lactobacillus brevis to a culture medium containing a plant-derived raw material in an amount of 50 mass% or more in terms of undiluted content and malic acid in an amount of 0.2 to 2.0 mass% of malic acid or 2.0 to 20.0 mass% of fructose and having a pH adjusted to 5.0 to 7.0, and conducting the fermentation until at least the end of the exponential growth phase of the lactic acid bacterium strain. In the method, an acid or a lactic acid-producing bacterium strain is further added to the culture medium at any point of time lying between the initiation of the fermentation to the end of the exponential growth phase. The fermentation is carried out in such a manner that the pH of the culture medium is decreased at a rate of 0.01 to 0.3 (l/hr) during a period between the initiation of the fermentation to the end of the exponential growth phase and becomes 3.3 to 4.6 when the fermentation is completed.

IPC: A01B49/06
Filed: 2010-05-19
Abstract: A disc hub assembly includes a shouldered spindle that is secured to a disc opener frame and to which a depth adjustment arm and a gauge wheel arm are connected. The disc hub, to which a ground opener disc is mounted, is disposed on the spindle in a manner that allows the disc to rotate around the spindle. A gauge wheel is connected to the gauge wheel arm. When the depth adjustment arm is rotated between depth setting positions the gauge wheel arm is also rotated. As the gauge wheel is connected to the gauge wheel arm, rotation of the gauge wheel arm causes rotation of the gauge wheel. The depth adjustment arm is spring biased into engagement with an arc of notches on the disc opener frame. The notches define a range of positions at which the depth adjustment arm may be positioned.

Abstract: Decision making systems and methods independent of irrelevant alternatives. A preferred alternative is found, using weighted preference lists while restricting the impact of spoilers, this preferred alternative is called an Independent Collective Choice. If a list is required, the selected preferred alternative is added to an ordered list of Independent Collective Choices and removed from weighted lists, and finding, adding, and removing are repeated. When selection of a plurality of alternatives with proportional representation is required, the lowest ranked alternative in Independent Collective Choice Ordered List is removed repeatedly as needed to find alternatives in a top choice set with predetermined quota. Some embodiments apply collective choice procedures repeatedly to select the highest ranked alternative, compare the outcomes before and after the removal of alternative combinations, and use the selection of Independent Collective Choice recursively and iteratively when selecting highest or lowest ranked alternatives.  Various embodiments in methods, devices, means, apparatuses, and software programs or embedded programs in hardware devices, where decisions on a number of alternatives based on a plurality of inputs are made, can be used in systems including humans and machines for selection, sorting, routing, controling and prediction problems.

Patent CA-2709189-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOZE CALVIN B
IPC: F15D1/10
Filed: 2010-07-08
Abstract: A viscous drag-reducing surface is provided that achieves harmony between an object and the environment (liquid or gas) through which the object moves. Rather than opposing the effects of friction, the surface according to the present invention eliminates friction by bonding the environment to the object. The pressure generated on the object by the environment as the object moves through the environment effectively compresses the local environment onto the surface. Once compressed against the surface, the local environment in contact with the surface becomes static relative to the surface whereas the environment that is not in contact with the surface achieves a laminar flow. Friction is thereby significantly reduced, since friction between like substances (i.e. the in-contact environment and the environment that is not in contact with the surface) is minimal.

Filed: 2009-03-25
Abstract: The embodiments include a method for producing a coating through cold gas spraying. In the process, particles according to the embodiments are used which contain a photocatalytic material. In order to improve the effect of this photocatalytic material (such as titanium dioxide), a reactive gas can be added to the cold gas stream, the reactive gas being activated by a radiation source not shown, for example by UV light, on the surface of the coating that forms. This makes it possible to, for example, dose titanium dioxide with nitrogen. This allows the production of in situ layers having advantageously high catalytic effectiveness.  The use of cold gas spraying has the additional advantage in that the coating can be designed to contain pores that enlarge the surface available for catalysis.
