Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a dispensing device including a syrup unit which transmits via one or more orifices one or more syrups and water to a dispensing block, a syrup source coupled to the syrup unit which provides the one or more syrups to the syrup unit, a water source which provides water to the syrup unit, and a cf valve coupled to a first orifice upstream of a solenoid valve where the cf valve provides a first range of pressures to the solenoid valve and where the first orifice is coupled to the dispensing block.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to conduits, devices, systems and methods, which may include a dispensing device including a valve configured to interact with an inlet stream, the inlet stream having a first pressure, the valve having an outlet area with an outlet stream, the outlet stream having a second pressure; and a solenoid configured to interact with the outlet stream.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to conduits, devices, systems and methods, which may include a hollow element including an inner surface and an outer surface which allows for a passage of one or more of one or more fluid elements and one or more gaseous elements, a constraining element with one or more openings and one or more non-open elements, one or more blocking elements configured to stop the passage of the at least one of the one or more fluid elements and the one or more gaseous elements when the one or more blocking elements are in a first position relative to the one or more openings, and a movement device configured to move the one or more blocking elements to a second position relative to the one or more openings which allows for the passage of the one or more fluid elements and the one gaseous elements through the one or more openings in the constraining element.

Abstract: A liquid mixing and dispensing system comprises a housing enclosing a chamber containing multiple containers, a flexible bag is in each of the containers. The flexible bags contain first liquids. Connecting conduits lead from the bags to a discharge conduit. A supply conduit is configured and arranged to supply a pressurized second liquid to the containers and to the discharge conduit. The pressurized second liquid serves to collapse the bags and eject the first liquids from the bags and via the connecting conduits into the discharge conduit for mixture with the first liquid.

Abstract: A personal care product is provided which includes a composition a quaternary ammonium salt wherein a cation of the salt is a dihydroxypropyltri(C1-C3 alkyl)ammonium monosubstituted polyol in a carrier. The cation should have a molecular weight no higher than about 450 and the salt have a Tg no higher than about 10° C. Particularly preferred are hydroxypropyltrimonium sorbitol salts. These salts operate as humectants to moisturize both in high and low relative humidity environments.

Abstract: A personal care composition is provided which includes a quaternary ammonium compound which is a salt of hydroxypropyl tri(C1-C3 alkyl) ammonium mono-substituted mono-saccharide. Particularly preferred are hydroxypropyl trimonium quaternized glucose or fructose. These quaternary ammonium salts provide moisturization properties to the personal care composition both in high and low relative humidity environments.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition is provided which includes tapioca starch, polyacrylic beads, an emulsifier and a cosmetically acceptable carrier. Optionally the composition may include a polysiloxane material to provide an initial silky feel upon skin contact, a fatty acid, a preservative and a polyhydric alcohol.

Abstract: A method and composition is provided for managing in-grown hair which involves applying to those areas malonic acid or a salt thereof in a carrier. The method and composition allows for comfortable shaving of skin by minimizing the problem of in-grown hair.

Abstract: A personal care product is provided which includes an unsaturated organic material with at least one olefinic double bond susceptible to degradation into a color bearing substance, the unsaturated material being selected from C10-C50 terpenoids and C12-C48 unsaturated fatty compounds selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty acid glycerides, fatty acid salts and combinations thereof, a substituted urea as a stabilization agent to prevent color body formation, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier. Particularly useful as a stabilizing agent is hydroxyethyl urea.

Abstract: A cleansing composition in toilet bar form is described which includes an acyl isethionate salt as surfactant and a behenyl lactylate salt as a firmness additive. Additionally, the composition may contain a moisturizer cocktail of mineral oil, glycerin and silicone oil. Toilet bars herein described have improved mush and wear properties.
