Abstract: An electrostatic spraying device has a removable cartridge with a reservoir containing a volume of liquid compositions to be electrically sprayed. The device includes a nozzle for dispensing the liquid and an emitter electrode disposed adjacent to the nozzle for charging the liquid composition just being dispensed from the nozzle.

Abstract: Methods and products for replenishing a polishing slurry in a chemical-mechanical polishing apparatus. A preformulated polishing slurry is packaged within a container having flexible walls. When it is time to replenish the polishing slurry in a polishing apparatus, an operator manipulates the sealed container by hand, which causes deformation of the container walls. The deformation of the container walls leads to the rapid and substantially complete resuspension of the abrasive particles into the polishing slurry. Once the abrasive particles have been sufficiently resuspended, the container having flexible walls is unsealed and the polishing slurry is poured into a slurry tank associated with the polishing apparatus.

Abstract: Bubble device 10 permits a user to directionally disperse a product under compressive pressure toward zone of concern 10Z. Opposed webs 10S and 10C are pressed together to form sealed perimeter 10P around a central enclosure, forming dispersing bubble 12. The perimeter has a breaching seal 10B for product dispersion and a non-breaching seal 10N along the remaining perimeter. Product 10P for dispersion and compressible product transport fluid 12F are contained within the dispersing bubble. The transport fluid is compressed and the force of compression causes the bubble to bulge toward the frangible breaching seal (see FIG. 1C). The web separation occurs inside the dispersing bubble, forcing an edge breach 12E in the breaching seal. The compressed transport fluid rapidly escapes as a released blast through the edge breach. The stored energy of compression within the bubble is released as kinetic energy of the escaping transport fluid.

Abstract: An improved device for dispensing toothpaste from a flexible tube using only manual pressure on the flexible tube. The device is formed to fit precisely the inner shape of the toothpaste tube and slides forward as the tube is manually squeezed from the outside. As the device moves toward the tube opening the toothpaste is expelled. Friction strips attached to the device on two sides come into contact with friction strips on the two interior sides of the toothpaste tube. As the device is propelled forward by manual pressure it is prevented from moving rearward toward the closed end of the toothpaste tube because of the friction strips. Thus as the tube is depressed and the toothpaste is expelled the flattened portion of the tube remains flattened and the tube is ready for the next use.

Abstract: There is a toothpaste tube with flexible wall that deforms under atmospheric pressure. One end of the tube is closed and the other end has a head attached with an opening for dispensing. Inside the tube at the head there is a resilient dispensing member extending along a small fraction of the tube length. The dispensing member has a cavity to accommodate the paste. In the first embodiment, the dispensing member has two prongs extending from the head on the two flatter sides of the tube. The dispensing member can be squeezed together with the tube by hand or between fingers to reduce the size of its cavity and dispense the paste through the opening. Upon release of hand or finger pressure, the dispensing member returns to the original shape and brings its adjacent part of the tube into original shape. The expansion of the dispensing member and the tube adjacent to it creates a vacuum that pulls the paste from the farther parts of the tube and fills the cavity and the tube at the opening end.
