Abstract: A method of assessing the impact of a test oral care flavour composition on the well-being of human subjects is provided, as well as a method of preparing or optimizing an oral care flavour composition for enhancing the well-being of a human subject, oral care flavour compositions that enhance the well-being, and consumer products containing them.

Abstract: A method of assessing the impact of a test perfume composition on the well-being of human subjects is provided, as well as a method of preparing or optimizing a perfume composition for enhancing the well-being of a human subject, perfume compositions that enhance the well-being, and consumer products containing them.

Abstract: A splice kit is provided for repairing a cable having a central conductor, an insulator surrounding the central conductor, an outer conductive sheath surrounding the insulator, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductive sheath. The splice kit includes a central conductor joint that is electrically conductive and is configured to engage the central conductor of the cable such that the central conductor joint defines a portion of an electrical path of the central conductor. The splice kit also includes a dielectric insert configured to at least partially surround the central conductive joint and the central conductor of the cable, and an outer sheath joint that is electrically conductive and is configured to at least partially surround the dielectric insert. The outer sheath joint is configured to be electrically connected to the outer conductive sheath of the cable such that the outer sheath joint defines a portion of an electrical path of the outer conductive sheath.

Abstract: A bushing is provided for a wire. The bushing includes a polymeric body that extends a length from an end to an opposite end. The body includes a pre-coiled shape wherein the body includes at least one coil defined between the ends. The body is biased to the pre-coiled shape and is flexible such that the body is configured to be at least partially unwound from the pre-coiled shape, against the bias, for wrapping the body around the wire. The body is resiliently unwindable from the pre-coiled shape such that the body is configured to at least partially return to the pre-coiled shape as the body is wrapped around the wire.
