Abstract: The present invention provides a solid composition comprising a polysaccharide and a hydrophobic compound having a melting point of between 30° C. and 90° C. The solid composition may further comprise a quaternary ammonium compound, wherein the weight ratio of the polysaccharide and the hydrophobic compound is between 1:50 and 50:1. Preferably, the solid composition is substantially free or completely free of water. The solid composition shows excellent stability at a temperature up to 45° C. The present invention also provides a process for preparing the solid composition and a liquid composition comprising said solid composition, and a method for conditioning a fabric by using said solid composition or said liquid composition as well.

Abstract: The present invention relates to method for preparing composition containing at least a quaternary ammonium compound, a cationic polysaccharide, a fragrance material or perfume, a nonionic surfactant, and optionally a nonionic polysaccharide. The method notably comprises a step of preparing a premix of the fragrance material or perfume and the nonionic surfactant. Said composition may notably be used for fabric conditioning.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition, in particular, a fabric conditioning composition, comprising at least a quaternary ammonium compound, a cationic polysaccharide, a nonionic polysaccharide and a fragrance material or perfume. In particular, the quaternary ammonium compound is a biodegradable quaternary ammonium compound. The composition has excellent softening performance and improved perfume longevity.

Abstract: A power source switching circuit includes a main source input terminal, an auxiliary source input terminal, a control circuit, a first switch, a second switch, and an output terminal. The control circuit is connected to the main source input terminal and the auxiliary source input terminal. The first switch is connected to the main source input terminal and the control circuit. The second switch is connected to the auxiliary source input terminal and the control circuit. The output terminal is connected to the first switch and the second switch. When the main source input terminal is at high level, the auxiliary source input terminal remains high level, the first switch is turned on, and the second switch is turned off by the control circuit.
