Abstract: A children's toy drum having a drum head that is partially reflective and partially light transmissive. Lights inside of the drum are visible through the drum head when illuminated, and when the lights are not illuminated the drum head acts as a mirror reflecting external light and obscuring visibility of the drum's interior. A second reflector can be positioned toward the base of the drum to generate a light tunnel or other visual effect.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuous process for the manufacture of highly-branched homo- or copolymers of C3-C8 ethylenically unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid as well as the anhydrides and salts thereof (monomer A) by means of free-radical polymerization of monomer A and optionally water-soluble, monethylenically unsaturated comonomers (monomer B) in an aqueous medium in the presence of at least one water-soluble initiator, wherein the polymerization takes place in at least one tubular reactor segment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cleaning compositions containing one or more linear or branched C6-C18 alkyl sulphate surfactants with a specific chain length distribution in combination with a cationic polymer containing one or more cationic structural unit with a cationic charge density ranging from 0.05 to 10 milliequivalents/g. Such cleaning compositions exhibit surprising and unexpected improvement in the sudsing profiles and are particularly suitable for use in hand-washing fabrics.

Abstract: A convertible walker/rider includes a frame and a seat assembly, and is convertible between a riding mode and a walking mode. The frame includes a pair of substantially horizontally oriented base legs and an upright portion coupled to and extending generally upwardly from the base legs. The seat assembly is pivotally mounted to the upright portion and includes a seat platform, a pair of seat support legs generally extending from the seat platform, and a seat handle extending between the seat support legs. The seat assembly is positionable in either a seated position for operating the convertible walker in a riding mode or in an upright position for operating the convertible walker in a walking mode. The base legs can be selectively adjustable to widen or lessen the distance therebetween.
