International Classification:

G06F019/00

US Classification:

700107, 700106

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods for evaluating the environmental impact of various chemical components as a function of their proposed functional use in a chemical product, methods for formulating products based on those evaluations, and databases for assisting in those methods. Consumer products can be environmentally improved using these methods. Environmental criteria are in part developed based on the nature of the ultimate use of the product, and usually vary for a given chemical between types of proposed uses. The environmental classes for components are adjusted by their weight representation in the final product.

International Classification:

F21V009/00

US Classification:

362/166000, 362/293000, 362/311000, 362/307000, 362/181000, 362/161000

Abstract:

A decorated luminary product includes either a candle (or other light source) or a holder for containing the candle (or other light source), having a mirror film adhered thereto to provide a pleasing visual effect. A decorative web of a polymeric mirror film web is preferably heat shrunk to conform to the shape of the candle or the holder. The mirror film is located to cooperate with light emitted by a candle or other light source to augment the visual effect created when the candle is lit, by providing birefringent effects, changes in coloration in accordance with changes in viewing angle, and variations in both reflectivity of ambient light and transmission of light from the candle or other light source.
