Abstract: The present invention is directed to hair styling tools having the ability to distribute a therapeutic agent into the hair via a porous material.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to styling tools having a therapeutic agent distributed through the styling tool bristles or pad.

Abstract: High resolution ink-jet printing on edible substrates is disclosed in which fat or wax-based edible inks, which contain a colorant, a fat or wax dispersible carrier, and a fat or wax base, are used to produce high resolution images on edibles. The methods utilize a piezoelectric printhead; and the edible products include confectionery pieces having non-planar, hydrophobic surfaces, such as wax-polished sugar shell surfaces, with a printed image thereon having a resolution greater than 100 dpi, preferably greater than 300 dpi.

Abstract: A method apparatus (100), and related beverage profiles for on-demand heating of liquid used for beverage dispensing where such heating is dynamically variable according to the applicable profile. The apparatus (100) includes a heating unit (160), electronic controller (140), and sensing devices (150, 180). A water tank (110) supplies the heating unit (160) via a water pump (120) controlled by the controller (140) that also controls the heating unit. Feedback control loops provide control data to the controller (140) to optimize liquid temperatures for a given beverage type in accordance with predetermined profiles.
