Abstract: This invention relates to novel whitening agents for cellulosic substrates. The whitening agents are comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. Suitable chromophore components generally fluoresce blue, red, violet, or purple color when exposed to ultraviolet light, or they may absorb light to reflect these same shades. The whitening agents are further characterized by having a dispersion component value of the Hansen Solubility Parameter of less than or equal to about 17 MPa0.5. This invention also relates to laundry care compositions including but not limited to liquid and/or powder laundry detergent formulations and rinse added fabric softening (RAFS) compositions that comprise such whitening agents.

Abstract: A zirconia ceramic material for use in dental applications is provided comprising an yttria-stabilized zirconia material comprising from 4.5 mol % to 5.1 mol % yttria. Optionally, the zirconia ceramic has a coloring agent that may comprise one or more metals selected from terbium (Tb), chromium (Cr), erbium (Er), and cobalt (Co), and further, may, optionally, comprise alumina, which if present may be in an amount from 0 wt % to 0.25 wt %. The zirconia ceramic materials exhibit both enhanced translucency and a flexural strength of at least 800 MPa when fully sintered.

Abstract: A stick pack having a top sealed portion with a top edge, a horizontal notch parallel with the top edge and passing through the stick pack, and further including a horizontal perforation line parallel with the top edge. The stick pack also has a bottom edge portion with a bottom sealed edge, a longitudinal seal extending from the top sealed edge to the bottom edge; an integrated RLC circuit; and a spout formed at least partially in the top sealed portion but not extending past the top sealed edge. The stick pack is configured to be folded along its longitudinal axis to fold the notch, and only when the notch is folded can a user easily tear the top sealed edge along the horizontal perforation line to expose the spout.
