Publication number: 20250265861Abstract: Digital imaging systems and methods are described for analyzing pixel data of an image of a skin area of a user for determining skin hyperpigmentation. A plurality of training images of a plurality of individuals are aggregated, each of the training images comprising pixel data of a respective skin area of an individual. A skin hyperpigmentation model, trained with the pixel data, is operable to output, across a range of a skin hyperpigmentation scale, skin hyperpigmentation values associated with a degree of skin hyperpigmentation. An image of a user comprising pixel data of at least a portion of a user skin area is received and analyzed, by the skin hyperpigmentation model, to determine a user-specific skin hyperpigmentation value of the user skin area. A user-specific electronic recommendation addressing at least one feature identifiable within the pixel data is generated and rendered, on a display screen of a user computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2025Publication date: August 21, 2025Inventors: Leigh Knight, Robyn Dolbear, Rachel Russell, Kate Budds, Katie Wilson

Patent number: 6918710Abstract: An improved package, suitable for holding a treatment fluid comprising a volatile solvent and kits comprising the package containing the treatment fluid and an applicator are disclosed. The package comprises a reservoir for the liquid which is sealed by a ruturable seal. A cap, coupled to one end of the reservoir, is in the form of a sleeve which is axially translatable along the reservoir from first to second positions. A cutting tool integrated with the cap ruptures the rupturable seal as the cap is moved from first to second positions so that the liquid can thereby be made accessible through an opening in an end wall of the cap. The package provides excellent protection for volatile liquids, yet can be easily opened by a simple press-action, instantly providing access to the liquid so that it can subsequently accessed by a liquid applicator.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2003Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Kate Budds, Mark Jarvis, Roland Stark
