Publication number: 20100074849Abstract: This invention provides a tablet that effervesces and significantly warms the water that it is dissolved in. The effervescence acts to break up the tablet allowing an exothermic material to rapidly dissolve releasing its heat of solution. The invention is unique in that no organic acid is required to form a conventional effervescent couple.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2009Publication date: March 25, 2010Applicant: Phyzz, Inc.Inventor: Allen H.

Publication number: 20100034889Abstract: This invention provides an effervescent solid form that dissolves in cold water quickly enough to not disappoint consumers yet not so quickly that the visual interest generated during the effervescent reaction is lost. This performance is achieved by forming effervescent particles that are dense enough to retard dissolution and small enough to not take too long to dissolve. The aim of this invention is to provide a beverage in solid effervescent form that takes between about 30 and about 120 seconds to dissolve in warm water. The granules may carry functional additives such as flavors, vitamins, minerals, sweeteners, colors and drugs. The granules may also be compounded of materials intended to provide relief from skin or topical discomfort, as in the form of a wash or bath additive. The granules may also be formulated to provide cleaning agents, such as ceramic cleaners and denture cleaners.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2009Publication date: February 11, 2010Applicant: PHYZZ, INC.Inventors: ALLEN RAU, Nicole Quinn, Donald Stadolnik, Eric Sterner

Publication number: 20070184000Abstract: A composition for providing aromatherapy, and in particular, symptomatic relief of nasal and sinus congestion is provided in unit dosage format. The composition includes a penetrating aromatic vapor whose release from a preparation of warm water is augmented by an effervescent component which reacts in the warm water to promote release of the aromatic fragrance, or sustained over time by tableting or gelatin encapsulation. As the fragrance is inhaled, symptomatic relief is obtained. The composition of matter may be rendered ingestible, so that the wan water containing the composition is consumed following inhalation. In preferred embodiments, the release of the penetrating aromatic fragrance persists over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2007Publication date: August 9, 2007Applicant: Phyzz.

Patent number: 6310014Abstract: Personal and household care compositions that deliver an audible crackling or popping sound during use. The sound is created by the release of pressurized carbon dioxide that has been encapsulated in a water-soluble structure. The carbon dioxide gas is released as the encapsulating material dissolves or when it is ruptured by mechanical action. The popping or crackling sound helps create consumer interest by signaling the presence and continued action of the product.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1999Date of Patent: October 30, 2001Assignee: Phyzz Inc.Inventor: Allen H. Rau

Patent number: 6121215Abstract: A foaming effervescent bath composition is comprised of an effervescent base together with an anhydrous surfactant. The effervescent base may be sodium carbonate and an organic acid, or similar variations. The base is selected so as to provide a composition which has a high dissolution rate, of at least 0.4 g/sec. The product is designed so as to have a low density, not greater than about 1.0 g/cc. Surfactants that exhibit a high viscosity in the presence of low concentrations of salt give particularly good foaming performance. Other agents, such as a colorant, fragrance, humectant, or emollient, may be added.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1999Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Assignee: PHYZZ, Inc.Inventor: Allen H. Rau

Patent number: 5993854Abstract: An aroma releasing composition has an effervescent agent, an exothermic agent and a volatile agent, the effervescent agent and exothermic agent provided in a ratio sufficient to promote release of the volatile agent, when the composition is placed in water. Such a composition has use, alone, in promoting release of fragrance agents, or in combination with a product, such as a body lotion, shampoo or liquid soap.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1998Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Assignee: Phyzz, Inc.Inventors: Norman Needleman, Allen Rau
