  • Publication number: 20160110915
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for synthesizing an image showing fibers. The method comprises providing (210) a computational model describing the interaction of light with fibers; obtaining (220) a first set of fiber parameters, which describes a plurality of real fibers (160), for use with the model; modifying (230) the first set of fiber parameters, to produce a second set of fiber parameters describing a plurality of modified fibers; simulating (240), using the model and the second set of fiber parameters, how light would interact with the modified fibers; and rendering (250), based on the result of the simulation, a synthetic image showing the appearance of the modified fibers.

  • Patent number: 7850911
    Abstract: A system comprising a moisture containing cleansing article and a visual pH indicator changing color at a pH above 4.0. The system can comprise a buffer, having preferably a pKa above 5.5. The system can comprise a set of instructions for evaluating moisture containing cleansing articles. The pH buffer of the system can have a pKa value equal to or greater than the pH of the color change of the visual pH indicator. The pH of color change of the visual pH indicator can be equal to or greater than the pH of the lotion. The system can be used to evaluate the pH of moisture containing cleansing article lotions and to quantify the ability to neutralize alkalinity such as the alkalinity provided by residues of feces and urine over time on the skin of a baby.
