Abstract: The present disclosure encompasses a crystalline form of (5R,8S)-8-[[(1R)-1-[3,5bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethoxy]methyl]-8-phenyl-1,3,7-triazaspiro[4.5]decane-2,4-dione and processes for the preparation thereof.

Abstract: A system and method for improving fuel storage within the wing of an aircraft. In one exemplary embodiment, the system and method eliminate the traditional spars and ribs, and any spanwise and cordwise connecting vertical webs, within a wing. Instead, the system comprises a plurality of modified flared spars, each having a length defined by an angled hat section, to form a wing structure. The modified flared spars may also comprise one or more lengths defined by a specialized section configured to accommodate a portion of a box section, or any other internal component of the wing. The system and method may also involve a contiguous fuel bladder of any size/type. The fuel bladder for the wing may comprise a fabric coated or impregnated with an elastomeric material that may include a polyurethane dispersion layer combined with a sealant.

Abstract: Consumer products including compositions that include coated microcapsules, said coated microcapsules including a polymeric shell and a liquid core material encapsulated therein; and a metallic coating surrounding said microcapsules and methods related thereto.

Abstract: Accordingly, there are provided coated microcapsules including a microcapsule, said microcapsules including a polymeric shell and a liquid core material encapsulated therein; and a metallic coating surrounding said microcapsules; wherein the metallic coating includes particles of a first metal adsorbed on said polymeric shell and a film of a second metal formed thereon; and wherein the metallic coating has a maximum thickness of 1000 nm; and methods and formulations related thereto.

Abstract: A sinuous spring for a furniture item includes various elements. For instance, a sinuous spring might include bars that are both parallel and non-parallel. The parallel bars might be positioned in a middle segment, and the non-parallel bars might be positioned in opposing end spring segments. A sinuous spring might be fabricated using various devices and methods, such as a wire-fabricating apparatus including a wire-forming mechanism and a length-adjusting mechanism. The wire-forming mechanism includes one or more sets of wire-forming dies that receive a continuously fed wire and that form the wire into a wire-shape configuration (e.g., sinuous-shape configuration). The length-adjusting mechanism includes a set of grooved wheels that receive the formed wire in the grooves and rotate to stretch or compress the formed wire.

Abstract: Encapsulates, compositions, packaged products and displays comprising such encapsulates, and processes for making and using such encapsulates, compositions, packaged products and displays. Such compositions have improved deposition and retention properties that may impart improved benefit characteristics to a composition and/or situs.

Abstract: A combustor may include an interior flow path therethrough, a number of fuel nozzles in communication with the interior flow path, and an inlet guide vane system positioned about the interior flow path to create a swirled flow therein. The inlet guide vane system may include a number of windows positioned circumferentially around the fuel nozzles. The inlet guide vane system may also include a number of inlet guide vanes positioned circumferentially around the fuel nozzles and adjacent to the windows to create a swirled flow within the interior flow path.

Abstract: The present invention relates to benefit agent containing delivery particles, compositions comprising said particles, and processes for making and using the aforementioned particles and compositions. When employed in compositions, for example, cleaning or fabric care compositions, such particles increase the efficiency of benefit agent delivery, there by allowing reduced amounts of benefit agents to be employed. In addition to allowing the amount of benefit agent to be reduced, such particles allow a broad range of benefit agents to be employed.

Abstract: As the result of a keyword search, real time and social news stream Web search results are retrieved and analyzed to build a topic model of n-grams. The n-grams of the topic model are treated as ad-based keywords to determine advertisements to be displayed in conjunction with the real time Web search results. The real time Web search results and the advertisements are then be presented or displayed for user consumption or review.

Abstract: A process for preparing a particle, the particle having: (i) cleaning active; (ii) structurant having a glass transition temperature; and (iii) optionally, plasticizer; wherein the process includes the step of: (a) contacting the plasticizer, the structurant, and the cleaning active to form a mixture, and forming a particle from the mixture; (b) optionally, removing at least part of the plasticizer from the mixture and/or particle of step (a); wherein the structurant undergoes a glass transformation during step (a) to create an amorphous structure which stabilizes the cleaning active.

Abstract: A process for preparing a powder from a slurry wherein the slurry enters a spary nozzle at conditions such that either: (I) at the temperature at which the slurry enters the nozzle, the slurry is at a pressure that is equal to or greater than the vapour pressure of the volatile component, and wherein, the slurry enters the nozzle at a temperature such that the vapour pressure of the volatile compound is above the pressure in the drying apparatus; or (II) the volatile component is in supercritical form when the slurry enters the nozzle, and wherein, the conditions in the drying apparatus are such that when the volatile component enters the drying apparatus, at least a portion of the volatile component is in gaseous form.
