  • Publication number: 20240122176
    Abstract: Populations of benefit agent delivery particles are disclosed, the particles having a core and a polymer wall surrounding the core, the polymer wall comprising multifunctional (meth)acrylate-based polymers, along with processes for making and uses of such compositions, and articles made with such particles. The polymer wall comprises a (meth)acrylate polymer derived, at least in part, from wall monomers and at least one free radical initiator, wherein the wall monomers comprise at least 50%, by weight of the wall monomers, of (meth)acrylate monomers, wherein the at least one free radical initiator is present at a level of from about 15% to about 60%, by weight of the polymer wall, wherein the core comprises a benefit agent, wherein the core and the polymer wall are present in a weight ratio of from about 95:5 to about 99.5:0.5. The compositions deliver core content with a desired delivery profile.

  • Publication number: 20230159863
    Abstract: Populations of benefit agent delivery particles are disclosed, the particles having a core and a shell encapsulating the core, the shell comprising certain multifunctional (meth)acrylate-based polymers, along with processes for making and uses of such compositions. The delivery particle has a core to polymer wall ratio by weight from about 96:4 to about 99.5 to 0.5 and a volume-weighted particle size from about 30 to about 50 microns. The compositions deliver core content with a desired delivery profile, such as fragrance delivery at desired touchpoints with higher efficiency. The delivery particle has high pay load, yet exhibits decreased benefit agent leakage, and provides a desired delivery profile.

  • Publication number: 20220361753
    Abstract: A system for measuring the vital parameters of low care patients is described. The system includes a connecting element for a nasal cannula or breathing mask for providing a fluidic connection with the patient and a flow and/or pressure sensor in fluidic connection with the nasal cannula or breathing mask, for sensing, when the nasal cannula or breathing mask is connected to the system, at least a negative pressure signal. The system also includes a processor configured for deriving, directly based on said at least a negative pressure signal, information related to the breathing cycle, and an output means configured for outputting at least one vital parameter of the patient, the outputting comprising outputting information related to the breathing cycle.
