  • Publication number: 20220295835
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for making colored hydrogel-based materials, and products relating thereto. The method includes applying an aqueous colorant composition comprising water and a colorant material to an external surface of a plurality of hydrogel-based materials. The aqueous colorant composition comprises less than 25% (v/v) of an aqueous miscible co-solvent. The hydrogel-based materials comprise a hydrogel matrix encapsulating an active ingredient composition, such as a flavor or fragrance composition. The aqueous colorant composition and the hydrogel-based materials are mixed for a sufficient duration of time to allow substantially all of the aqueous colorant composition to be absorbed into the hydrogel matrix. Optionally, the colored hydrogel-based materials may be dried to remove at least a portion of the water absorbed into the hydrogel matrix thereby leaving the colorant material therein.

  • Patent number: 9576291
    Abstract: Determining a fuel card usage exception with the use of a computer that receives fuel card transaction data responsive to a fuel purchase event. The fuel card transaction data identifies a quantity of fuel purchased for a vehicle using a fuel card. In addition, the computer receives first fuel level data and second fuel level data of the vehicle that identifies a quantity of fuel present in a fuel tank of the vehicle prior to a fuel purchase event and after a fuel purchase event respectively. The computer can determine an exception associated with the fuel purchase event based on the fuel card transaction data, the first fuel level data, and the second fuel level data. Responsive to detecting an exception associated with the fuel purchase event, the computer may generate an alert and transmit the alert for presentation by a computing device of a user.
