摘要:
A method is provided for determining a battery's state-of-health. An initial battery voltage is measured after a first voltage drop during an initiation of an engine cranking phase. A battery voltage is monitored during the remainder of the engine cranking phase. A lowest battery voltage is determined during the remainder of the engine cranking phase. A determination is made if a voltage difference between the lowest battery voltage and the initial battery voltage at the initiation of the engine cranking phase is less than a voltage threshold. A low battery state-of-health is identified in response to the voltage difference being less than the voltage threshold.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising a structured benefit agent pre-mix or delivery vehicle comprising benefit agent structured with crystalline materials, as defined, which when separately prepared and combined after preparation, provides enhanced delivery of optical modifier carried on, trapped within or in the presence of the structured benefit agent.

摘要:
A composition which comprises (A) a plurality of cross-linked polymer particles, said polymer being the polymerization product of at least two monomer units selected from the group consisting of monoalkenyl aromatic compounds, alkyl esters derived from a saturated alcohol and acrylic or methacrylic acid, and vinyl esters of an aliphatic carboxylic acid; and said cross-line polymer particles being loaded with (B) an active ingredient, the weight ratio of the active ingredient (B) to the polymer particles (A) being from 0.05 to 50:1, is useful to release the active ingredient over an extended period of time while controlling sebum on skin and hair.
摘要:
A method of treating a subject for a serotonergic neurotransmission dysregulation disorder, comprises administering the subject a serotonin enhancer (e.g., a serotonin reuptake inhibitor) in an amount effective to treat the disorder; and concurrently administering the subject 5-hydroxytryptophan in an amount effective to enhance the activity of the serotonin enhancer, (e.g., serotonin reuptake inhibitor). In preferred embodiments the disorder is depression, anxiety, or substance abuse.
摘要:
A method of screening a subject for a serotonergic neurotransmission dysregulation disorder comprises detecting the presence or absence of an Tph2 mutation in the subject; and then determining that the subject is at increased risk of a serotonergic neurotransmission dysregulation disorder due to the presence or absence of the Tph2 mutation.
摘要:
The invention relates to rinse-off personal care compositions comprising specifically defined particle wherein compositions also contain at least some hydrophobic benefit agent or emollient. The emollient allow particles to deposit and provide enhanced shine.
