Formulation and dispenser systems create dairy based toppings for beverages. The dispensers include a container, valve, and an actuator for the valve. The formulations include a liquid product and a propellant. The liquid product includes a certain percentage of milkfat provided, for example, by heavy cream, skim milk, nonfat dry milk, sweeteners, and an emulsifier. The propellant is nitrous oxide or nitrogen.

The invention relates to a dispensing system for use in cryogenic skin treatment that is capable of targeted delivery of a cryogen at a high rate, thereby achieving rapid freezing of targeted skin tissue. The dispensing system of the present invention uses a cryogen that contains dimethyl ether and is designed to deliver the cryogen in an accurate and very effective manner.

An article includes a dispenser having a flow channel extending therethrough and having a base, a bendable segment attached to the base, a straw attached to the bendable segment, a plunger attached to the base and extending within the flow channel of the bendable segment; a sleeve extending over at least a portion of the straw, and a trigger hingedly attached to the straw at a hinge point and having a portion above the hinge point engaging the sleeve and a trigger portion extending below the hinge point.

An actuator for a container that includes a valve and retains a flowable product under pressure includes a valve coupler configured to be operatively coupled to the valve for selective opening and closing of the valve. A dispensing applicator is connected to the valve coupler and has proximal and distal ends with an applicator length extending there-between. The dispensing applicator defines an applicator chamber having a chamber length extending along the applicator length, a chamber inlet in communication with the applicator chamber, and a chamber outlet in communication with the applicator chamber. The chamber outlet extends in a direction generally transverse to the applicator length. The dispensing applicator is in fluid communication with the valve when the valve is selectively opened using the valve coupler such that the flowable product flows through the chamber inlet into the applicator chamber and exits the dispensing applicator through the chamber outlet in a direction that is generally transverse to the applicator length.

A canister to store a soft serve ice cream mixture having a predetermined flavor therewithin, the canister including a body to store the soft serve ice cream mixture, and a spout disposed at a top portion of the body having an opening at a tip thereof to expel the soft serve ice cream mixture out therefrom.

The invention includes a system to reduce deposits from a surface of an intake valve, preferably in a GDI engine. The system includes a delivery device having a reservoir for holding a cleaning agent. The reservoir has a body that defines an interior space, and an outlet port in fluid communication with the interior space of the reservoir body. The delivery device has a delivery conduit that extends from the outlet port and terminates at a distal end. The proximal end of the delivery conduit is in fluid communication with the outlet port. An actuator having an open position and a closed position is included in the delivery device. Upon activation of the actuator from a closed position to an open position, a portion of the cleaning agent flows from the interior space through the outlet port and is delivered under pressure to distal end of the delivery conduit.

Also contemplated with the scope of the invention are related methods of removing deposits from the surface of an intake valve and/or of enhancing or improving engine performance.

The present invention relates to a nebulizer, such as a spray can, for the topical application of a liquid and/or solid to a surface. The nebulizer is characterized by a valve comprising a mixing chamber designed for forming a colloidal mixture comprising a dispersed phase consisting of a liquid and/or a solid substance and a continuous phase consisting of a propellant gas before delivering the colloidal mixture to the nozzle. The invention also relates to a method for the topical cooling of the skin of a person or animal. In addition, the invention relates to various other uses of the device.
