Abstract: The present invention relates to a dietary supplement dosing device that can be connected to a source of water to enable dosing of dietary supplement to water at the time of dispensing. The dietary supplement dosing device is capable of dosing controlled amounts of the dietary supplement to water upon being dispensed for consumption by fitting it to a faucet and the dietary supplement dosed water is free of color, taste and odor and with beneficial amounts of dietary supplement. A dietary supplement dosing device comprises a flow distribution unit and a dietary supplement cartridge and the dietary supplement cartridge can be designed to deliver the dietary supplement from a source which is either in the solid or liquid form.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing an emulsion of a first liquid in a second liquid wherein (a) at least one of the liquids comprises a surfactant or a precursor thereof, and (b) said second liquid has an electrical conductivity of less than 100 microSiemens/centimeter, and (c) interfacial tension between said liquids is at least 0.0001 mN/m, and (d) said liquids are subjected to an electric field of strength between 5000 to 107 V/m.

Abstract: A device is provided to clean an object by positioning the surface of the object to be cleaned in contact with a cleaning medium comprising one or more liquids having a dielectric constant of from 1 to 200 and placed in an electric field in the range of from 103 V/m to 107 V/m wherein said device is capable of generating said electric field using an alternating voltage/current source, said device comprising at least two electrodes where one of the electrodes is at a higher potential than the other and said electrodes are spatially separated by a distance of 1 micron to 2 cm by an insulating material having a dielectric breakdown strength greater than the applied electric field.

Abstract: A liquid-in-stem thermometer comprising a stem and/or an envelope having a capillary bore extending along the length of the stem/envelopes, a bulb disposed at one end of the stem/envelope and in fluid communication with the said bore, a junction region between the capillary and the bulb adapted for maximum registration action, a thermometric liquid provided in the bulb, the said thermometric liquid being an aqueous solution of one or more solutes and substantially free of dissolved gases, at least the inner surface of the capillary bore of said stem/envelope having low surface energy characteristics, wherein the surface tension of the thermometric liquid is greater than the surface energy of the said low surface energy material by a factor of at least two.

Abstract: A method and toolset to conduct system review activities. The toolset may include a set of quality attributes for analysis of the system. For each quality attribute, a set of characteristics defining the attribute is provided. At least one external reference tool associated with at least a portion of the quality attributes and a deliverable template including a format are also provided. A method includes the steps of: selecting a set of quality attributes each having at least one aspect for review; reviewing a system according to defined characteristics of the attribute; and providing a system deliverable analyzing the system according to the set of quality attributes.
