  • Patent number: 10755599
    Abstract: A portable tooth-sensitivity demonstration apparatus and a process. The apparatus includes a main unit with a top cover having at least one tooth station thereon; an electrical circuit, a sensitivity indicator, and an on/off switch. A sensor in the tooth station is part of the electrical circuit to activate a response by the sensitivity indicator. A water-permeable tooth piece, treated with an oral-care product, is placed into the tooth station, and a few drops of water are deposited on top of the tooth piece. Lack of response from the sensitivity indicator shows an absence of sensitivity and hence effectiveness of the oral-care product, while a response from the sensitivity indicator shows existing sensitivity and thus failure of the oral-care product to seal the tooth piece. In an apparatus having multiple tooth stations, different oral-care products can be assessed simultaneously and side-by-side.

  • Patent number: 10751266
    Abstract: A method of producing a multi-layer beauty care product for applying a skin active agent to the skin. The method involves applying a water-soluble fluid to a transfer substrate. The water-soluble fluid contains a skin active agent and is applied to the transfer substrate through an image carrier having a mesh size of 40 to 500. The water-soluble fluid is dried to form a water-soluble film, which is then transferred to a backing layer coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive. The resulting multi-layer beauty care product provides a suitable a means of delivering the skin care active agent to a target portion of skin.

  • Patent number: 10752795
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for applying a transfer material from a transfer component onto the surface of an article are disclosed, including apparatuses and methods of transfer printing on and/or decorating three-dimensional articles, as well as the articles printed and/or decorated thereby. In some embodiments, the method may utilize a printer such as an inkjet printer. In some cases, the transfer material may be a UV curable ink and/or adhesive. When the transfer material is UV curable, the transfer component may be permeable to UV radiation to allow curing of the ink and/or adhesive therethrough. UV curable adhesives including thiol-acrylate and thiol-ene acrylate inkjet-able adhesives are disclosed. The UV curable adhesive may be colored (such as with white pigment) in lieu of providing a base (white) ink layer so that more UV radiation will be able to pass through the ink layer(s) in order to reach the adhesive.
