Abstract: Compositions, articles and methods are provided for supplying fabric care benefits to clothing or fabrics in an automated washing machine and by manual washing. The fabric care compositions preferably have less than about 5% detergent surfactants, more preferably less than 3%, even more preferably less than 1% and are most preferably free of detergent surfactants. Similarly, the fabric care compositions preferably have less than about 5% fabric softener actives, more preferably less than 3%, even more preferably less than 1% and are most preferably free of detergent surfactants. The laundry articles can take a variety of forms in a variety of physical states all of which will rapidly dispense a unitized amount of one or more selected fabric care agents to a wash and/or rinse bath solution during the laundering process under a variety of conditions. The invention also pertains to laundry kits that contain a variety of such articles and instructions concerning their use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to benefit agent containing delivery particles, compositions comprising said particles, and processes for making and using the aforementioned particles and compositions. When employed in compositions, for example, cleaning or fabric care compositions, such particles increase the efficiency of benefit agent delivery, there by allowing reduced amounts of benefit agents to be employed. In addition to allowing the amount of benefit agent to be reduced, such particles allow a broad range of benefit agents to be employed.

Abstract: An aqueous surface treatment composition, methods for the production thereof, and an apparatus for the preparation of aqueous surface treatment compositions. The composition comprises a water soluble thickening polymeric thickening agent, water and a basic neutralizing agent. Additionally, coloring agents and polyols may be added to the composition. The polymeric water soluble thickening agent and basic neutralizing agent are present in sufficient quantity to afford a viscous composition that, upon application to a suitable surface, provide a surface treatment. The apparatus useful for the production of aqueous surface treatment compositions simultaneously and rapidly mixes and dispenses a fast forming viscous compositions.

Abstract: A radioactive substance administrator including a syringe structured to receive a dosage of the radioactive substance therein; a containment housing structured to contain the syringe and including a radioactivity retardant material, structured to substantially attenuate the emergence of radioactivity through the containment housing, and a plunger track structured to contain a plunger assembly of the syringe movably therein; an exterior actuation assembly operatively associated with the containment housing and structured to actuate the plunger assembly of the syringe; and a secondary shielding assembly operatively associated with an outlet of the containment housing and structured to permit the passage of the radioactive substance to the patient while also attenuating radioactivity emerging from the outlet of the containment housing and radioactivity emanating from the radioactive substance exiting the containment housing.
