Abstract: A method for preparing stable liquid emulsion forms of plant extract is provided. A plant extract having a bitter flavor is mixed with diluent oil as an oil mixture and heat is applied to the oil mixture. An emulsifying agent is dispersed in water as an emulsifying solution. The oil mixture is mixed with the emulsifying solution. The mixed oil mixture and emulsifying solution is homogenized as a liquid form of the plant extract. Gluconic acid is added to the liquid form of the plant extract. The bitter flavor of the plant extract is disguised by adding a bitter blocker to the liquid form of the plant extract.

Abstract: A method to notify a third party if a child is left behind in a vehicle includes securing a motion detector system within a vehicle, the motion detector being secured to a roof of an inner cabin of the vehicle and directed to a rear seat; detecting via the motion detector if a child is left behind in the rear seat after the vehicle is locked and after a driver exits; if the child is left behind, activating an air conditioner via a computer system operably associated with the motion detector; after activating the air conditioner, detecting if the driver has returned to the vehicle; if the driver has not returned, activating a car alarm via the computer system; after activating the car alarm for a predetermined time, determining if the driver has returned; and if the driver has not returned, notifying a third party via a transceiver operably associated with computer system.

Abstract: The present invention claims that a carbon black with unique morphological properties provides improved carbon black dispersion and improved rubber compound properties, such as improved fatigue life and abrasion resistance. The carbon black of current invention has a ratio of aggregate size HI and particle size HI greater than 1.70, the surface area STSA of 100-180 M2/g and the structure OAN less than 140 cc/100 g.

Abstract: A carbon black with a ?D50/M greater than about 0.9. The carbon black has an aggregate heterogeneity index (HI) via QTM of greater than about 2.3. The carbon black has a ?D50 via DCP of greater than about 0.07. The QTM-HI of the present carbon black is unique for N100-200 series carbon blacks, as is the ?D50. The carbon black is a N200 carbon black with an oil absorption number (OAN) less than about 135 and a HI of greater than about 2.3. The carbon black is also a N200 carbon black with an oil absorption number (OAN) less than about 135 and a ?D50 of greater than about 0.07. The present invention also relates to a polymeric composition and to tires comprising a carbon black of the present invention.

Abstract: CleanFingers is a new product that can help decrease the transmittal of disease by food service workers. CleanFingers is a strip which could be made of a translucent plastic or polyvinyl with pockets at each end that cover only two or three fingers, i.e., the thumb, index, and, if needed, the middle finger. Typical plastic gloves take two hands to put on the gloves, which take extra time, and removing the gloves also requires the use of both hands. This extra effort is inconvenient when the food handler is in a hurry, which results in the continued use of soiled gloves or the gloves not being used at all. The primary difference between CleanFingers and the conventional plastic service gloves is that “CleanFingers” are easier to put on by using only the two or three fingers to be covered and can be just as quickly and easily removed. The convenience of using CleanFingers will encourage service providers to use them and change them often especially when they are in a hurry.
