  • Patent number: 7043841
    Abstract: A shaving apparatus is provided that includes a razor cartridge, a shaving aid dispenser, and a reservoir operable to contain a non-solid shaving aid material. The shaving aid dispenser includes one or more valves disposed within a contact panel. The contact panel is disposed adjacent the cutting edges of the one or more razor blades. Each of the valves is selectively operable between an open position and a closed position. The valves are operated by the normal force of the contact surface applied to the surface to be shaved. The reservoir is in fluid communication with the selectively operable valves.

  • Patent number: 6586012
    Abstract: A liquid composition for oral administration comprising a pharmaceutically active medicament coated with a taste masking effective amount of a polymer blend of (a) dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and neutral methacrylic acid ester (MM/MAE) and (b) a cellulose ester, in an aqueous vehicle, wherein the polymer weight ratio of the cellulose ester to the MM/MAE is about 40:60 to about 90:10, preferably about 60:40. The liquid composition utilizes a “reverse enteric coating” which is soluble in the acid pH's of the stomach, generally about 1.0 to 4.0, but relatively insoluble at the non-acidic pH's of the mouth. The coatings provide for rapid release and absorption of the drug, which is generally desirable in the case of liquid dosage forms.
