  • Patent number: 11051529
    Abstract: The invention relates to a caffeine-templated MIP copolymer matrix and devices employing these polymers that exhibit high absorbance or binding capacity for caffeine while retaining rapid caffeine uptake kinetics, and which function in both cold and hot aqueous environments to selectively remove caffeine from a beverage with a high selectivity factor in order to better preserve the sensory aspects of the decaffeinated beverage, and which can easily be used by a typical consumer to treat their beverage within a short time frame of less than about one minute.

  • Patent number: 6022843
    Abstract: The invention is an improved, non-phosphate, non-bleach, agglomerated laundry booster which has a) a solids portion with i) at least 5% by weight of a first builder selected from the group consisting of alkali metal carbonate, alkali metal bicarbonate, alkali metal sesquicarbonate, and mixtures thereof; and ii) a second builder of at least 25% by weight alkali metal tetraborate pentahydrate; and b) i) a first liquid which comprises an anionic, acidic surfactant, in an amount no greater than about 10% by weight; and ii) a second liquid which comprises an agglomerating agent. The first liquid is neutralized by the first builder of a)i) to form a first set of particles, the second builder forms a second set of particles, and the second liquid co-agglomerates both the first and second sets of particles. The invention also provides a method for preparing this laundry booster.

  • Patent number: 5730306
    Abstract: A dual cap lining for bi-directional venting comprising a substantially round, disc-shaped, laminated, fluid-impermeable, gas-permeablematerial bottom layer, and having an extruded and cast polyethylene material top layer which is provided with apertures which communicate with the bottom layer and also communicate with channels provided on the upper surface of the top layer, and the material of construction of the laminated bottom layer is gas-permeable such that the dual lining allows bi-directional gas flow therethrough, for gases which have built-up in the interior of the connected container to safely escape by venting from the interior of the container to the external ambient atmosphere through openings existing between the spiral screw threads of the cap closure and threads of the container neck, and the reverse venting to equilibrate for relatively increased external pressure, without passage of solid or liquid material from the interior of the container through the lining to the closure and to the exte
