INVENTORS’ CIRCLE Newest Patent Approvals Electromagnetic spectrally detectable plastic packaging components U.S. Patent No. 8,980,982 Illinois Tool Works, Inc. Illinois Tool Works, Inc., Glenview, IL, has patented a plastic packaging component that is formed of a resin containing an electromagnetic spectrally detectable additive mixed with the resin. The resin is formed into a plastic packaging component of an aerosol package lid, an aerosol spray button, an aerosol spray tube, a trigger sprayer, an integrated lid-sprayer, a grease cartridge, a grease cap, plastic fiber toweling, a packaging strap, a pail lid, a jar cap or a brush. A process for detecting a displaced packaging component in an organic production stream is provided that includes adding to a resin an electromagnetically detectable additive intermixed with the resin and forming the additive loaded resin into the plastic packaging component. The production stream is then scanned for the detectable signal of the additive. Upon detecting the additive, an alarm signal is provided that the production stream contains the displaced packaging component. u Sunscreen with hydrophobic silica aerogel U.S. Patent No. 9,233,056 L’Oréal Paris L’Oréal Paris, Paris, France, has patented a solid anti-sun composition based on lipophilic organic UV screening agent and aerogel particles of hydrophobic silica. The present invention thus relates to a solid composition, in particular in the form of a loose or compact powder, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium: a) at least one pulverulent phase; b) at least one lipophilic organic UV screening agent characterized in that the pulverulent phase comprises at least aerogel particles of hydrophobic silica exhibiting a specific surface per unit of weight (S.sub.W) ranging from 200 to 1500 m.sup.2/g, preferably from 600 to 1200 m.sup.2/g and better still from 600 to 800 m.sup.2/g, and a size, expressed as volume-average diameter (D0.5), of less than 1500 .mu.m and preferably ranging from 1 to 30 .mu.m, more preferably from 5 to 25 .mu.m, better still from 5 to 20 .mu.m and even better still from 5 to 15 .mu.m. It also relates to a cosmetic method for caring for and/or making up human keratinous substances, in particular the skin of the body or of the face or the hair, comprising at least the application, to the surface of the keratinous substance, of at least one composition as defined above.
