Abstract: Disclosed is a method for monitoring the quality of surfaces, particularly lacquered surfaces, comprising a measuring device that is provided with at least one image-detecting element. At least two different criteria which are relevant for the quality of the surface are jointly detected and are evaluated by means of an evaluation unit that outputs a value that is meaningful for at least said two criteria. The invention relates to a method that takes combinations of several criteria into account and consequently makes it possible to detect and qualify the surface in a manner that corresponds to the perception of the human eye. The inventive method has the advantage of allowing major surface areas of the surface that is to be monitored regarding the quality thereof to be simultaneously detected.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a structured pre-mix or "delivery vehicle" composition designed as a carrier to enhance the benefit (e.g., via enhanced deposition or other mechanism) of a separate hydrophobic benefit agent(s) (for example, perfumes, skin lightening agents, etc.), from personal product compositions (e.g., liquid and bar cleansers, creams, emulsions, hair composition, deodorant etc.). When the structured benefit agent composition is separately prepared and combined with the personal product composition (preferably while structured, pre-mix composition is still in molten or liquid state), the personal product composition with structured benefit agent carrier provides enhanced deposition of the structured benefit agent and enhanced effect of the separate hydrophobic benefit agent(s) in or on the carrier or in the presence of structured benefit agent carrier.
