Assignee:

Lever Brothers Company, Division of Conopco, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

C11D 100

US Classification:

25217413

Abstract:

Solid core particles encapsulated in a single coat of paraffin wax, the wax having a melting point of about 40. degree. to about 50. degree. C. and a solids content of from 100 to about 35% at 40. degree. C. and from 0 to about 15% at 50. degree. C. The paraffin coat may comprise 20 to 90% by weight of the particle and may be from 100 to 1,500 microns thick. The coat prolongs the time in which particles encapsulated therewith may remain active in aqueous environments. The encapsulated particle is made by spraying molten wax onto the particles in a fluidized bed. Liquid or powder cleaning compositions, particularly automatic dishwashing liquid detergents, may incorporate 0. 01 to 20% by weight of the composition of the coated wax-encapsulated particles.

Robert Gabriel - Maplewood NJ
Michael P. Aronson - West Nyack NY
Peter L. Steyn - West Caldwell NJ

Assignee:

Lever Brothers Company - New York NY

International Classification:

C11D 1722
C11D 3395

US Classification:

252 99

Abstract:

The invention concerns detergent compositions comprising a special type of oxidation resistant nonionic surfactant and an oxidizing agent which may either be a hypochlorite or a peroxygen material. The surfactant component structurally comprises a C. sub. 8 -C. sub. 12 alkyl substituted phenoxy hydrophobe alkoxylated with ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide, with the proviso that the ratio of ethylene oxide to propylene oxide is at least 1 but no higher than 10. Methyl or chloroethyl groups are used to endcap the surfactant.

Abstract:

Disclosed is a protective mask with imbedded functionality and an interchangeable face panel. The protective mask includes an upper support that extends across a wearer's face and a lower support extending downward therefrom so that the mask covers the wearer's nose and chin, leaving the eyes uncovered. The each of the ends of the upper support includes an earphone, whereby each of the earphones includes a microphone, a speaker, a wireless headphone circuitry, a power source, and related components enclosed therein. The wireless headphone circuitry includes a wireless transceiver and an antenna assembly that communicates with an external electronic device. The wireless transceiver is connected to a processor that can decode input signals to emit sound through the speaker, and that can process speech into a signal for transmission. In this way, the present invention provides a hands-free and a wireless method of communicating with external electronic devices.
