A hand applicator of encapsulated liquids, such as cosmetic, hygienic, and pharmaceutical formulations or household chemicals, of different viscosity. When the user squeezes the applicator in her hand, the capsule inside it ruptures, possibly with a clap, and releases a liquid that after being collected by the drain passes through the perforated dissector to get evenly distributed in the absorber and then evenly applied on skin or other surfaces. Inert and impermeable capsules ensure stability of stored liquid formulations. Pressurized capsules are easily tactilely located and crashed. A capsule may be permanently or elastically fixed within the applicator. The applicator may include several capsules that may contain different liquids. A refillable applicator can be refilled with new capsules and used more than once. A transparent impermeable back side the applicator enhances hygiene and creates visibility of the capsule. An impervious glove-applicator for applying hazardous substances is disclosed.

A method and apparatus are provided by which eyelid diseases may be treated and eyelid hygiene may be performed. In particular, the method and apparatus stimulate eyelid muscles and facial muscles, allowing stimulation of glandular eyelid components that allow optimization of the tear film and the ocular surface. In this manner, the symptoms associated with ocular irritation or with eyelid disorders may be treated by maintaining proper tear film composition.

The invention seeks to improve the taking of physical measurements on an industrial product represented by organoleptic perceptions, the method providing a measurement interface that submits descriptors in a relative arrangement such that testers are not influenced by the order in which they appear, regardless of the descriptor and regardless of the field of the descriptor. For this purpose, the invention provides a method of analyzing industrial products in order to characterize them, in order to distinguish between them, and / or in order to modify them so as to improve them, by analyzing the responses of a panel of testers in application of certain descriptors. The method comprises steps consisting in selecting descriptors that are a priori pertinent for determining the organoleptic characteristics of the products; selecting a response mode; providing all of the descriptors simultaneously to the panel of testers on a single occasion and for a determined duration in a measurement interface presenting a center and an input zone for each descriptor, the input zones being distributed uniformly over at least a section of at least one conic about the center of the interface; collecting the responses from each tester as a function of the selected response mode; recording the responses; and analyzing the responses using at least one statistical method.

A system and method of encouraging compliance of hand hygiene in an environment where users move from zone to zone and are required to perform hand hygiene between the zones. Users carry a wearable zone sensor which detects zones, detects hand hygiene actions, logs time of changing zones, and hand hygiene actions. The wearable sensor can be integral with a wearable hand hygiene product dispenser and / or can operate in cooperation with a fixed dispenser configured to transmit hand hygiene actions to the wearable zone sensor. The wearable zone sensors are configured to be useable anonymously or to be associated with a user identifier, and to interface with a central computer via a docking station or communication interface to transfer data for later analysis.
