Abstract: A feeding device, which is especially adapted for use by infants, toddlers and the like, includes a drinking cup, a lid and a flow control valve. The drinking cup includes a body and an overmolding which partially covers the body to function as a bumper and to provide gripping surfaces for a user. The lid has a spoutless design which allows a user to simulate drinking from a conventional open-mouthed cup and which also maximizes liquid evacuation from the drinking cup. The flow control valve has a polygonally-shaped body with a plurality of corners and a liquid-dispensing nipple which is located in one of the corners so that the flow control valve can be positioned adjacent to a peripheral edge of the lid, thereby promoting the complete evacuation of liquid from the drinking cup. The size, shape and rigidity of the valve body inhibits it from being inserted into the throat of a user or other individual.

Abstract: Detergent compositions, including, but not limited to, anti-residue shampoos, are provided which include one or more anionic surfactants, an anionic polymer, a mono cationic conditioning agent, and a cationic polymer. These shampoos are preferably clear. Additionally, there is provided a recirculatory batch processor which includes a disperser and at least one pump selected from a supply pump and a return pump. The pump is in communication with the disperser. Furthermore, a recirculatory batch process is provided which includes the steps of delivering, at a first rate, a liquid from a tank to a recirculatory batch processor as described above; during the delivery, dispersing solids into the liquid to produce a liquid containing dispersed solids; and during the delivery, returning, at a second rate, the liquid containing dispersed solids to the tank; wherein the second rate is greater than the first rate.
