| 20090275494 | Fabric Treatment Compositions - The invention provides an encapsulate comprising a benefit agent core (preferably containing perfume), one or more inner shells (preferably of melamine urea or melamine formaldehyde) and an outer shell comprising a polymer (for example locust bean gum, tamarind xyloglucan, guar gum or mixtures thereof) which is substantive to cellulose (preferably in the form of cotton), at least one of said shells being impermeable to the benefit agent. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090312222 | Laundry Composition - Polymer particles comprising a perfume are delivered to fabric during laundering and give long lasting adherence of the perfume to fabric during laundering. The particle comprises a polymer and is prepared using miniemulsion polymerisation. A method of depositing a perfume onto a substrate by means of such a composition is also disclosed. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100216684 | PERFUME PARTICLES - The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of core-shell perfume particles by emulsion polymerisation and to the products obtainable by such a process. The core of the particles comprises a perfume and the shell (which preferably comprises an aminoplast polymer) also comprises a non-ionic deposition aid (such as locust bean gum) which is substantive to textiles. The process of the invention is characterised in that, during the emulsion polymerisation step, the solids content of the polymerisation mixture does not fall below 25% wt. The particles obtained by the process are suitable for inclusion in laundry products and show significantly improved deposition and retention onto fabrics being laundered as compared with particles formed at lower solids levels. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20100085254 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATION TO A GIMBAL MOUNTED DEVICE - A system and method wirelessly communicates signals between a device on a gimbal and a stationary transceiver. An exemplary system has a gimbal with a moveable portion, a device affixed to the moveable portion, a gimbal transceiver coupled to the moveable portion, and a stationary transceiver, wherein the gimbal transceiver and the stationary transceiver are configured to communicate with each other using a wireless signal. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100092179 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GIMBAL MOUNTED OPTICAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE - Optical communication systems and methods are operable to communicate optical signals across a gimbal system. An exemplary embodiment has a first optical rotary joint with a rotor and a stator, a second optical rotary joint with a rotor and a stator, and an optical connector coupled to the stators of the first and the second optical rotary joints. The stator of the first optical rotary joint is affixed to a first rotational member of the gimbal system. The stator of the second optical rotary joint is affixed to a second rotational member of the gimbal system. A first optical connection coupled to the rotor of the first optical rotary joint and a second optical connection coupled to the rotor of the second optical rotary joint remain substantially stationary as the gimbal system orients an optical communication device in a desired position. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100101341 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR POWERING A GIMBAL MOUNTED DEVICE - Gimbal power systems and methods are operable to provide power to a device attached to the gimbal. An exemplary embodiment is configured to rotate a rotational member of the gimbal system about an axis, wherein a stator of a rotary power transformer affixed to the rotational member rotates about the axis, and wherein an end of an electrical connection coupled to a power connector of a rotor winding of the rotary power transformer remains substantially stationary as the stator of the rotary power transformer rotates about the axis. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100259439 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A REFERENCE SIGNAL FOR PHASE CALIBRATION OF A SYSTEM - A two-element array antenna system includes a first antenna element and a second antenna element. The first and second antenna elements respectively include first and second frequency multipliers. A transmitting, receiving, and processing (TRP) system is coupled to the first and second antenna elements via, respectively, a single first transmission element and a single second transmission element. The TRP system is configured to transmit to the first antenna element a first input signal at a sub-multiple of a first frequency, receive from the first frequency multiplier a first calibration signal based on the first input signal, transmit to the second antenna element a second input signal at a sub-multiple of the first frequency, receive from the second frequency multiplier a second calibration signal based on the second input signal, and determine, based on the calibration signals, a relative phase difference between the first and second transmission elements. | 10-14-2010 |
