A solid, free-flowing composition adapted to deliver fragrance or malodor counteractant in a consumer product that is subjected to actual or potential malodorous influences. The composition comprises a delivery system consisting of a core material surrounded by a fragranced material comprising microdroplets of a dispersed fragrance in a fragrance-encapsulating material, optionally surrounded by a protective coating, and, an external absorbent material in which the fragrance delivery vehicle is dispersed. The composition is effective with respect to animal litters.

Fragrance composition

The present invention comprises devices, systems, and methods for elongating bone using an extension implant having a first end and a second end. The first end of the extension implant is inserted into an opening in the live bone and the second end of the extension implant is combined with an enlarged implant. A plurality of channels extend through the components to serve as conduits for delivering fluids and physiological signals which induce bone formation. Some embodiments include a subcutaneous cage assembly for helping to support the implant as the bone heals around it.

Devices, systems and methods for elongating bone

A solid, free-flowing composition adapted to deliver fragrance or malodor counteractant in a consumer product that is subjected to actual or potential malodorous influences, comprising: The invention is especially effective with respect to animal litters, especially those for cats.

Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for chemically bonding antibiotics to selected substrate materials which are not dissolved in normal physiological processes so that high local concentrations can be achieved during the inflammatory response. The antibiotics will remain permanently bonded to the substrate material until an infection occurs which releases the antibiotic in high concentrations to help control the infection. The high local concentrations may be much higher than systemic toxic levels, and can never reach toxic levels because the local dose is much less than needed to reach systemic toxicity if completely dissolved.

Devices, systems, and methods for elongating bone

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for enhancing bone or soft tissue regeneration are provided. For example, a conduit, having one or more segments, can originate at a tissue regeneration site and can have a first opening to promote physiological signals to enter the conduit and transit to a second opening that penetrates a histologically rich source of multipotent mesenchymal cells, promoting the multipotent mesenchymal cells to produce tissue regeneration response products, the response products transiting through the second opening to egress at the first opening of the conduit, and promoting tissue regeneration at the tissue regeneration site. Transit of the physiological signals and the tissue regeneration response products is promoted through physical and/or chemical means, as is promotion of the anatomical functionality of the regenerated tissue. For example, a number of the segments of the conduit can be formed at least partially from an osteoceramic material.

Conduits for enhancing tissue regeneration

Glove-imitative soft costume

A device adapted to provide volatile liquid material to an atmosphere, comprising a reservoir containing volatile liquid material, a rod-like transfer member extending therefrom and adapted to transfer liquid from the reservoir, and at least one diffusion surface adapted to receive the liquid from the transfer member and facilitate its evaporation into the atmosphere, the diffusion surface extending essentially laterally from the transfer member and comprising at least one non-integral, non-porous sheet bearing a surface capillarity, which sheet has an extent and a capillarity sufficient to allow an appropriate evaporation. The device is cheap and easy to construct, versatile and diffuses odor without major changes of the odor over time.

Vapor diffusing device

Cysteine derivatives of formula (I) wherein R1-R7 are as defined in the description, and their use as malodor counteractant. Furthermore, a process of their production and consumer products comprising them are described.

Cysteine derivatives which counteract malodour

A textile treatment delivery system adapted to impart textile conditioning composition and fragrance to a fabric while it is being dried in a heated drier, the delivery system comprising at least one textile conditioning composition and at least one fragrance in a sublimable carrier substance. The treatment is efficient and leaves virtually no residue.

Textile treatment compositions including a sublimable material

A composition is provided for MOC that contains compounds with the structure wherein These compounds may be used with other MOC ingredients that act synergistically or additively with them.

Malodor counteractant compounds

A composition is provided for MOC that contains compounds with the structure: wherein

A process is provided for absorbing moisture and/or malodor and providing a fragrance to the surrounding ambience that includes providing a delivery vehicle containing an enrobement material, a fragrance, and a fixative, combining the delivery vehicle with an absorbent material, and contacting the mixture of delivery vehicle and absorbent material with moisture and/or a malodor source.

Process for maintaining fragrance perception in the presence of an absorbent material

This invention provides orthopedic cement compositions, containing calcium phosphate component, an anion-donating accelerator to promote rapid setting, and a calcium aluminate component. Further provided are methods for orthopedic repair, including placing the cement at said surgical site by applying low shearing force to said cement to initiate flow.
