  • Publication number: 20240103694
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface: displays a first user interface that includes a plurality of selectable objects; while a focus selector is at a location that corresponds to a respective selectable object, detects an input that includes detecting a contact on the touch-sensitive surface; and in response to detecting the input: in accordance with a determination that detecting the input meeting input criteria, including a criterion that is met when the contact meets a respective input threshold, displays a menu that includes contact information for the respective selectable object overlaid on top of the first user interface; and in accordance with a determination that detecting the input includes detecting a liftoff of the contact without meeting the input criteria, replaces display of the first user interface with display of a second user interface.

  • Publication number: 20230366187
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems, methods, and compositions for dispensing multiple compositions into a plurality of containers or atmospheres. In one embodiment, this disclosure pertains to treating and preventing offensive odors arising from toilets. The system includes a base station with at least one bag-on-valve (BOV) canister, which holds one or more compositions. A tube leads from the output of the bag-on-valve canister to a bowl clip and/or to a spray nozzle. The bowl clip can be mounted to a toilet bowl. One example embodiment of the invention includes a bowl clip with a sensor that initiates release of the composition(s) from the bag-on-valve (BOV) canister(s), while another embodiment initiates release of the composition(s) from the bag-on-valve (BOV) canister(s) using a motion sensor or activation switch. The compositions are delivered to treat and prevent offensive odors.

  • Publication number: 20230320968
    Abstract: A method of dechlorinating skin, especially dechlorinating skin, hair and/or nails of humans including contacting said skin, hair and/or nails with an aqueous composition for sufficient time to reduce halogen effects on the skin, hair and/or nails. The aqueous composition comprising water and an oil-soluble bis-ascorbate in a weight ratio of about 0.1 to 25% by weight of the total aqueous composition, a surfactant, and a buffering agent maintaining pH of the aqueous composition in anaerobic conditions at between 7.8 and 8.3 at room temperature for at least 10 days. Optionally there is 0.05% to 30% by weight of suspended carbon particles.

  • Patent number: 6659825
    Abstract: A floatation device, particularly a floatation device for children that can be easily worn, easily positioned, effective in operation, and sufficiently innocuous in appearance comprises an self-inflating tube that is worn around the neck, lies relatively flat against the wearer, and nests under and against the chin when inflated, without pressing tightly against the neck as would restrict breathing. The uninflated device may be plain or decorated and should respond to direct contact with water by inflating within no more than one minute of contact with water, and preferably in less than 15 seconds of contact with water. The device should not inflate nor generate gas when contacted with 85° C. and 98% relative humidity for 15 minutes.
