Patent number: 6862585Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable storage medium for managing product development include a relational database containing draft, approved, and archived versions of product, package, materials, process, and artwork technical data for use by product development personnel in providing a structured set of data output for use in a supply chain. In one embodiment, the relational database includes objects having data to describe design requirements of a finished product component such as a formula, material, package, and the like. Text documents may be linked to the relational data structure by reference to provide design requirements not amenable to a structured data format, such as test methods, process instructions, and the like. The system, method, and computer readable storage medium provide for electronic communication and electronic approval of data subsets while tracking changes and archiving previous versions for subsequent access or reference.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2001Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: John Eugene Planalp, Suzanne Miranda Kopcha, Joseph Fernand Deflander

Publication number: 20040049132Abstract: A method and device for monitoring a body activity. The device has an actimetry sensor for measuring the activity and storage means for receiving data from the actimetry sensor. The data are analysed according to a method using summation algorithm, where a plurality of parameters relating to the activity are summed to provide advisory information relating to that activity. The analysis may include pre-programmed biasing constants or user supplied biasing constants.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2002Publication date: March 11, 2004Applicant: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Bradford Scott Barron, Emily Charlotte Boswell, Corinne Dauger-Strauss, Joseph Fernand Deflander, Neil Archibald MacGilp, Chris Van den Wouwer, David Keith Ewart, Derk-Jan Dijk

Patent number: 6508604Abstract: A cell system has one or multiple burstable enclosures or closed cells which contain an active composition, such as a fluid or solid (including powdered) product, preferably a liquid product, which is released therefrom when the enclosures or closed cells are ruptured. Each enclosure or cell is provided with a flow control which controls the direction and flow of the composition outwardly of the enclosure or cell when the enclosure or cell is ruptured. The flow control is formed by a film covering one side of an enclosure or cell with the film having a cut-out portion forming a flow control window. The composition can be a face cleaning lotion or cream, a disinfectant, a household cleaning composition, a perfume, a polish or a medicament.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2001Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Georg Rudolf Theobald Bechmann, Joseph Fernand Deflander, Neil John Rogers
