  • Patent number: 9217124
    Abstract: The invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent, wherein use thereof generates hydrogel layers surfaces, comprising a hydrogel former having a molecular weight less than 3500 g/Mol, wherein the hydrogel former is water-soluble at concentrations below the minimum gel formation concentration, wherein the minimum gel formation concentration is the concentration at which a yield point of at least 0.05 Pa is formed in a binary solution of water and hydrogel former at T=25° C., and wherein said minimum gel formation concentration lies below 2 wt % of hydrogel former, relative to the system consisting of water and hydrogel former. The washing or cleaning agents according to the invention enable the hydrophiliation of surfaces, and the specific and retarded releasing of active substances embedded in the hydrogel layers, such as aromatic substances or antimicrobial active substances, for example.

  • Publication number: 20150314078
    Abstract: A dispensing apparatus for a flowable component includes a storage container, an applicator and a closure element. The storage container has a storage chamber configured to receive the component, an outlet flange and a component outlet. The applicator has a component inlet and a dispensing opening, and is connected to the storage container by the outlet flange establishing a connection between the component outlet of the storage container and the component inlet of the applicator. The closure element is independent from the applicator, and configured to selectively adopt a closed position and a dispensing position, the component outlet is closed in the closed position and open in the dispensing position, and is configured to be coupled to the applicator so as to be brought from the closed position into the dispensing position by a rotation of the applicator in a connection direction with respect to the storage container.

  • Publication number: 20150223931
    Abstract: A hydrophilic intraocular lens storage system includes: a) a substantially air tight container containing a small quantity of free water; and b) a foldable hydrophilic intraocular lens disposed within the container at a location wherein the lens is not immersed in liquid. The storage system can be employed to maintain the hydrophilic intraocular lens in a foldable state without being immersed in liquid. The method includes the step of storing the foldable intraocular lens within a substantially air tight package containing free water, the lens being stored within the package at a location wherein the lens is not immersed in liquid.
