Abstract: A method for uniform deposition of fabric care actives to a fabric article in a non-aqueous solvent based fabric treatment process; and compositions capable of uniformly depositing the fabric care actives on the fabric article being treated to achieve maximum benefit.

Abstract: A delivery system for uniform deposition of fabric care actives to a fabric article in a non-aqueous solvent based fabric treatment process; and compositions capable of uniformly depositing the fabric care actives on the fabric article being treated to achieve maximum benefit.

Abstract: A process for purifying a lipophilic fluid employing a functionalized fabric treating agent. The functionalized fabric treating agent is capable of delivering fabric treating benefits in a non-aqueous fabric article treatment process and is designed for easy removal from the non-aqueous solvent after the fabric article treatment process. Laundry soils can also be removed by this process. The present invention also relates to a fabric treatment composition containing the functionalized fabric treating agent.

Abstract: A computer network is disclosed as including at least one network client memory, a network operating system executing in the network client memory for operating the computer network and for providing access to network services, and a network application executing in the network client memory for performing an application function. The computer network also has a plurality of network devices interfaced to the network operating system and available to the network application and the network operating system for performing the network services. Each network device provides at least one specific network service and has an object component in the network client memory representative of the network device. Each object component includes an interface such that the network application is in direct communication with the interface of each object component. Accordingly, the network application communicates directly with each of the object components.

Abstract: Provided are leave-on hair care compositions which can impart enhanced hair conditioning and damage protection, while being formulated in a low viscosity product. In particular, the atomizible leave-on hair care composition comprise: (i) from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight, of a cationic crosslinked polymeric conditioning agent comprising the monomer units (A).sub.m (B).sub.n (C).sub.p and a crosslinking agent wherein: (A) is a dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate monomer or a quaternary ammonium or acid addition salt thereof; (B) is a dialkylaminoalkyl methacrylate monomer or a quaternary ammonium or acid addition salt thereof; (C) is a nonionic monomer polymerizable with (A) or (B); m, n, and p are independently zero or greater, but at least one of m or n is one or greater; (ii) from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight, of a salt; and (iii) from about 0.0001% to about 0.05% of at least one polyalkylene glycol corresponding to the structure ##STR1## wherein R is H or CH.sub.

Abstract: The present invention discovery of a printer having a particular printer type in a network is disclosed. A socket having a socket identifier (ID)) associated with the printer type is provided to allow communication between the network and the printer. In a socket poll mode, the socket awaits and obtains outgoing data from the network tagged with the socket ID and sends the obtained outgoing data to the printer. In a socket listen mode, the socket awaits and obtains incoming data from the printer and sends the obtained incoming data to the network. A printer information object is provided for storing printer information associated with the printer once the printer is discovered. A timer provides a periodic timing signal TICK. The printer is periodically polled once every N TICKs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions useful for treating hair or skin. These compositions comprise a topical vehicle containing panthenol and a polyalkyleneglycol having from 3 to about 12 repeating ethyleneglycol or propyleneglycol units.
