Patent number: 8302774Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed for stabilizing glycerin-in-oil emulsions, which can be used to significantly reduce thermal instability or instability over time compared to traditional cosmetics or topical formulations. The compositions comprise one or more oil-soluble rheological modifiers and optionally one or more emulsifiers in a glycerin-in-oil emulsion.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2010Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Avon Products, Inc.Inventors: David Alan Binder, Bing C. Mei, Thi N. Do, George Willms, Hossein A. Baghdadi

Patent number: 8255846Abstract: System, method, and program product analyze netlists for related electrical circuit designs by comparing predefined physical characteristics between the netlists. A baseline reference score is generated for one of the netlists and a normalized score is generated for the other netlist. The baseline reference score and the normalized score are used to generate a similarity score that is displayed on a display monitor. Preferably, the similarity score is displayed as a percentage.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2009Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William Alan Binder, Harry I. Linzer, Llewellyn Bradley Marshall, IV, William Appleton Rose

Patent number: 7012054Abstract: The present invention relates to fabric and textile conditioning compositions with improved particulate soil cleaning, containing particular combinations of cationic polymers and anionic surfactants in combination with a polyvinylpyrrolidone/amphiphilic carboxy containing polymer anti-redeposition system. The cationic polymers are preferably below a particular molecular weight to afford optimal cleaning and conditioning, and must be present in an effective amount to yield a substantial conditioning benefit. A method of conditioning articles using the inventive compositions is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2003Date of Patent: March 14, 2006Assignee: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA, division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: David Alan Binder, Dennis Stephen Murphy, Michael Orchowski

Patent number: 6949498Abstract: Fabric and textile conditioning compositions containing particular combinations of cationic polymers and anionic surfactants are disclosed. The polymers are soluble or dispersible to at least 0.01% by weight in distilled water at 25° C., are preferably below a particular molecular weight to afford optimal cleaning and conditioning, and must be present in an effective amount to yield a substantial conditioning benefit. A method of conditioning articles using the polymer/surfactant combinations is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2003Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Unilever Home & Personal Care USA a division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Stephen Murphy, Michael Orchowski, Alla Tartakovsky, David Alan Binder

Publication number: 20040102345Abstract: A laundry detergent product produced by a spray-on process and method of laundering clothes is disclosed which relates to the inclusion of one or more wrinkle reducing ingredients in the laundry detergent product. The spray-on process produces a freely flowable powder or granular laundry products that incorporate effective amounts of hydrophilic wrinkle reducing ingredients. The benefits are delivered to the laundered item during the cleaning step and, therefore, reduces the need for further wrinkle reducing steps when the items are taken from the dryer or after hang drying.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2002Publication date: May 27, 2004Applicant: Unilever Home and Personal Care USA, Division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Michael Orchowski, Dennis Stephen Murphy, Feng-Lung Gordon Hsu, Daniel Joseph Fox, John Brockett, David Alan Binder
