Methods and products for dynamic control of environments by selective metabolic function of microbes
Patent number: 11311429Abstract: Methods and products for maintaining a target pH range of an environment including at least one organism are provided. A method can include releasing a carbon source to the environment. A method can further include allowing the carbon source to be metabolized by the at least one organism and lower a pH of the environment. The method can also include releasing a nitrogen source to the environment. The method can additionally include allowing the nitrogen source to be metabolized by the at least one organism and increase the pH of the environment. The releasing of the carbon source to the environment and the releasing of the nitrogen source to the environment can be selectively timed to control the pH of the environment to the target pH range of the environment.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: David W.

Patent number: 9480633Abstract: The present invention relates to a single phase temperature management composition. The composition includes from 0.01% to 10% by weight of a neurosensory agent and from 0.01% to 30% by weight of an antiperspirant component. The composition also includes a polar carrier where the polar carrier includes water and monohydric alcohol. The ratio of water to monohydric alcohol ranges from 0.0625:1 to 1.5:1. The compositions of the invention have a viscosity at room temperature of less than 2500 centipoise.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2011Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy D.

Patent number: 8333954Abstract: Foamable sanitizing compositions are disclosed. The compositions contain alcohol, water, a foaming agent, and a foam strengthening agent. The foaming agent which may comprise a derivatized dimethicone has been found to cause the alcohol solution to foam even though alcohol has various defoaming properties. The foam strengthening agent may comprise, for instance, a betaine that contains organic molecules wherein at least 90% of the organic molecules have a carbon chain length of 18 carbon atoms or greater. In one embodiment, the composition can be contained in a non-aerosol dispensing container that mixes the composition with air causing the composition to foam when dispensed.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2007Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Jeffery R.
