Publication number: 20240249635Abstract: iFormative Feedback (iFF) is an electronic formative feedback acquisition and analytics system which leverages mobile technology, QR codes, and web-based dashboards to provide users with meaningful, real-time, 360-degree assessments of performance. iFF is designed to record the spirit of a user's observations without increasing the administrative burden of data entry, security, collation, interpretation, and dissemination. Through iFF, organizations can efficiently track individual performance through downstream (supervisor to supervisee) and upstream (supervisee to supervisor) analyses of standardized observations recorded in the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Applicant: WESTERN UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCESInventors: Alexander LEE, Brent FUNG, Marcel NGO, Sandra FARRAH-FRANCO, Steven FRIEDRICHSEN, Hubert CHAN

Patent number: 11858238Abstract: Methods for forming multi-layer substrates including top and bottom surface layers and a melt softened thermoplastic material layer between the exterior surface layers, where the thermoplastic material includes polyethylene or has a tan delta value of 0.2 to 0.4 within the temperature range of 100° F.-350° F. The 3 (or more) layers are assembled, and heated, melt softening the thermoplastic material, causing bonding of the thermoplastic layer to the exterior surface layers. A cleaning composition may be loaded onto the multi-layer substrate, where a fluid pathway through the melted thermoplastic material allows the cleaning composition to travel between the surface layers. Adhesion between the surface layers and the thermoplastic layer is provided by the thermoplastic material itself, which bonds to groups of fibers in the surface layers. The process does not require chemical adhesives, any processing water, drying, or the like, so as to be possible with low capital investment.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: THE CLOROX COMPANYInventors: Nikhil P.

Patent number: 10645967Abstract: Packaged aerated acidified food compositions (e.g., aerated dips, sauces, etc.) having a low density (e.g., 0.4 to 0.8 g/cm3) due to incorporation of gas bubbles (e.g., nitrogen or air) within an aerated matrix. In addition to the aerated matrix the composition further includes a relatively high fraction of oil (e.g., as an oil/water emulsion). The compositions are shelf-stable, so as to exhibit microbial stability and stability with respect to the aerated low density “whipped” texture, without requiring refrigeration. The composition includes the aerating gas (e.g., nitrogen or air), a protein (e.g., soy or dairy), a stabilizer (e.g., a hydrocolloid, a cyclodextrin, a monoglyceride, and/or a diglyceride), oil, water, an emulsifier, and a food grade acid. Flavors, spices, and other components may be included.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: Ritu Mishra, Abril Estrada, Clarissa Koga, Perry Nga, Hubert Chan, Edith Ramos da Conceicao Neta, Joanna L.

Publication number: 20180271134Abstract: Packaged emulsified food compositions (e.g., salad dressings including an oil/water emulsion) including a probiotic, which may be included therein, without requiring heating during packaging, and without requiring refrigeration for long term shelf stability. The probiotic may be sporeforming. In an embodiment the probiotic comprises spores which do not germinate until ingested by a consumer (e.g., such that the spores germinate in the intestinal tract of the consumer). The probiotic may comprise Bacillus coagulans spores, which may be added to the emulsion following addition of an acid. The salad dressing or other food composition advantageously can be cold packed, requiring no heating during manufacture, and no refrigeration after packaging, all while providing stability of 1 year or more.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2017Publication date: September 27, 2018Inventors: Vidya Ananth, Maria Ochomogo, Hubert Chan

Publication number: 20180192681Abstract: Packaged food compositions including but not limited to emulsified salad dressings (e.g., an oil/water emulsion) that contain calcium carbonate and phosphoric acid. Under conditions present in the salad dressing, the calcium carbonate reacts with the phosphoric acid to form surface modified calcium carbonate particles that dissolve over the shelf-life of the salad dressing to slowly release CO2 into the emulsion, resulting in a whipped, bodied texture for the salad dressing within the bottle or other container.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2017Publication date: July 12, 2018Inventors: Maria G.
