Patent number: 8877696Abstract: A cleaning composition may comprise a pH-switchable sudsing system and a cleansing system. The pH-switchable sudsing system may comprise a primary sudsing agent in combination with a pH-switchable co-surfactant. The pH-switchable co-surfactant is selected from diamine molecules having a general formula R1R2—N—R3—N+(CH3)3X?, where R1 is a linear or branched C8 to C16 hydrocarbyl, R2 is a linear or branched C1 to C3 hydrocarbyl, R3 is a linear or branched C3 to C6 hydrocarbylene, and X is a counteranion. The tertiary amine nitrogen of the pH-switchable co-surfactant has a pKa value. When the tertiary amine nitrogen is unprotonated, the pH-switchable co-surfactant may provide a suds-boosting effect in washing solutions at a washing pH above the pKa. When the tertiary amine nitrogen is protonated, the pH-switchable co-surfactant may provide a suds-reducing benefit in rinse waters at a rinse pH below the pKa.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Hiroshi Oh, John August Wos, Robb Richard Gardner, Timothy Bates

Patent number: 8309788Abstract: The invention provides an absorbent article, at least a portion of which has a protease inhibitor incorporated therein to decrease the activity of proteases that may otherwise initiate or contribute to inflammation of the skin of a wearer of the article resulting in skin irritation or dermatitis. The article can further comprise a delivery system for releasably containing and delivering the protease inhibitor to at least a portion of the skin of the wearer. The delivery system can comprise a skin care composition and at least a portion of the composition, including the protease inhibitor, is automatically transferred from the article to the wearer's skin without manual intervention during normal usage of the article to form a defense against protease activity.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2009Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: The Procter and Gamble CompanyInventors: Francis James Rourke, Scott Edward Osborne, Donald Carroll Roe, Todd Laurence Underiner, John McMillan McIver, Timothy Bates

Publication number: 20040208832Abstract: Color-coded pulmonarily administrable therapy units (10) of medicine and a method for delivery. In one form of the invention, a pulmonarily administrable therapy unit (10) includes a disposable container (11) and a dry powder (16) held within the disposable container (11), which dry powder (16) includes a therapeutic agent. The disposable container (11) is insertable into an inhaler (30) and openable by operation of that inhaler (30) to allow therapeutic agent to escape from the disposable container (11) for inhalation. The disposable container (11) has a color-coding (26) that represents a total quantity of the therapeutic agent within the disposable container (11). The invention also encompasses a dosing system for pulmonary delivery via an inhaler (30) of a therapeutic agent, including first and second therapy units (10) separately loadable into an inhaler (30) and each holding a different quantity of a protein or peptide therapeutic agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2004Publication date: October 21, 2004Inventor: Michael Timothy Bates
