Abstract: An electric motor, which is preferably a disk drive spindle motor, contains a multi-phase stator driven by switching the phases of drive current at corresponding commutation angles of the rotor. Small semi-random offsets are introduced into the commutation angles at which the drive current is switched, spreading the frequency of excitation over a wider range, and reducing the peak harmonic excitation at the switching frequency. Preferably, a table of offsets is maintained, and an offset from the table is added to each commutation point. The table preferably has more entries than the number of commutation points, the entries being cycled on a round-robin or other basis.

Abstract: An improved cream soap is disclosed. The cream soap is comprised of water, a surfactant/soap system, one or more detergents, a preservative, and at least one structuring/emulsifying agent. Generally, the cream soap composition further comprises one or more of each of a colorant, a fragrance, and a skin benefit additive. The soap has a more paste-like consistency as compared to conventional cream soaps. And by virtue of its paste-like consistency, this soap can be stored in, and dispensed from a wider array of containment units, and also avoids the problem of “run off” that plagues conventional cream soaps.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiphase cleansing bar having a plurality of phases of cleansing material. Adjacent phases preferably have different concentration levels of benefit components respectively and all the phases individually preferably have a substantially similar cleansing base consisting of a syndet base, a soap base, or mixtures thereof. These benefit components are emollients, moisturizers, nutrients, anti-aging materials etc. Segregation of the benefit rich component is expected to result in improved deposition of the benefit components on the skin during the product application, which improves the moisture barrier properties of the skin. Chemical and Theological compatibility between the phases is maximized and recycling of the product during production is facilitated with the use of a uniform cleansing base. Methods of producing the inventive bar by extruding and melt casting are also disclosed.

Abstract: A clear soap bar formulation based on sodium cocoyl isethionate (SCI) and method for producing a clear soap bar. The soap bar formulation uses a SCI prepared with metal catalyst (for example zinc) to promote faster and more economical production of SCI. The clear soap bar is formed from a preliminary mixture of propylene glycol, sorbitol, sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), glycerin, water, stearic acid and myristic acid. Sodium hydroxide is added for saponification of the fatty acids to form soap. The resulting mixture is stirred until homogeneous, and a chelating agent is added. The mixture is stirred again until homogeneous. SCI is then added, and the mixture is stirred until substantially clear. The mixture is then allowed to sit without stirring for a period of time, in order to allow air bubbles to rise to the top of the vessel. The mixture is poured into molds and allowed to cool undisturbed.
