  • Publication number: 20080021788
    Abstract: An Internet-enabled fuel dispenser includes a card reader adapted to retrieve a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) data element from a portable card encoded with the URL information and carried by the customer. A client machine at the dispenser position accesses the World Wide Web server specified by the retrieved URL data element and receives a Web page downloaded from the accessed server. The Web page includes customer financial information representing various payment options such as digital cash and credit card account numbers. The Web page is presented for viewing on a graphical user interface (GUI) touch-screen display that enables the customer to select one of the displayed payment options and thereby initiate further processing of the refueling transaction request by submitting the payment selection to the refueling point-of-sale (POS) facility.

  • Patent number: 6352688
    Abstract: Disclosed are anhydrous antiperspirant sticks that comprise from about 0.5% to about 60% by weight of particulate antiperspirant active; from about 16% to about 50% by weight of a solid suspending agent; from about 10% to about 80% by weight of a volatile silicone; and from about 1% to about 35% by weight of a non volatile silicone, wherein the sticks are preferably substantially free of nonvolatile organic liquids having a C log P value greater than 5.5, and have a product hardness of at least about 600 gram·force. The sticks are further characterized by defined low residue and/or high antiperspirant efficacy measures. These compositions contain relatively high solid suspending agent concentrations of at least 16% by weight and still provide low residue performance and high antiperspirant efficacy.

  • Patent number: 6258346
    Abstract: Disclosed are solid cosmetic stick compositions having a preferred product hardness of at least about 600 gram.force, and which comprises from about 0.01% to about 60% by weight of a cosmetic active; from about 10% to about 95% by weight of a liquid carrier; from about 1% to about 60% by weight of a solid polymorphic triglyceride gellant that within the composition is substantially free of long range crystalline order. By selecting the crystalline phase of the triglyceride gellant in the finished product, these cosmetic sticks provide improved product hardness at lower triglyceride gellant concentrations.
