20110284123 | Metered Dose Applicator With Light For Activating Product - Metered dose applicators that irradiate a portion of light sensitive product. When a dropper applicator is secured to a reservoir, a usable volume inside the dropper is reduced. As the dropper is removed from the reservoir, the usable volume in the dropper increases, creating a suction within the dropper that draws product into the dropper from the reservoir. When the dropper is off the reservoir, then a button that is accessible to a user is used to increase and decrease the size of the usable volume. The button also turns on a light that is effective to activate the product as it is being dispensed from the dropper. | 11-24-2011 |
20120170961 | System For Sampling A Heated Product - A system for sampling a heated product comprising a disposable first subassembly and a physically separate reusable second subassembly. Prior to use, the two subassemblies are able to form a rigid connection. As a result of forming this connection, a portion of an electric heating circuit is inserted into an interior space of an applicator head. After forming the connection, the first subassembly is broken, the electric heating circuit is turned on, and the applicator head is used to apply product. | 07-05-2012 |
20120325235 | Heating Applicator System For Products That May Be Degraded By Heat - A system for sampling a heated product comprising a disposable first subassembly having an applicator head, and a physically separate reusable second subassembly having an electric heating circuit. Prior to use, the two subassemblies are able to form a rigid connection. As a result of forming this connection, the applicator head is transferred to the second subassembly such that a portion of the electric heating circuit is inserted into an interior space of the applicator head. In this configuration, the second subassembly is used to apply heated product. | 12-27-2012 |
20140150817 | Cleaning Tool For Personal Care Applicator - A tool for cleaning a personal care applicator, particularly an applicator for a product that is subject to dry out. In some embodiments, the invention is implemented as a reusable cleaning tool. In other embodiments, the invention is implemented as a disposable, single-use or limited use cleaning tool. The tool comprises a relatively flat body having first and second exterior surfaces, and one or more cleaning regions that extend through the body. As an applicator is drawn through the cleaning region, dried out product is scraped off the applicator. | 06-05-2014 |
20140165507 | Compact Case With Cake Retention Pan - A cosmetic compact has a pan made from an elastomeric material. The pan is elastically biased to a size that is smaller than a pre-formed cake of cosmetic product. The empty pan is temporarily expanded by applying vacuum to a bottom and sidewalls of the pan. The cake of cosmetic is inserted in the expanded pan and the pan is released from the vacuum. The pan contracts toward the smaller size and thus traps and holds the cake in the compact. | 06-19-2014 |
20140165508 | Compact Case With Cake Retention Pan - A cosmetic compact has a pan made from an elastomeric material. The pan is elastically biased to a size that is smaller than a pre-formed cake of cosmetic product. The empty pan is temporarily expanded by applying vacuum to a bottom and sidewalls of the pan. The cake of cosmetic is inserted in the expanded pan and the pan is released from the vacuum. The pan contracts toward the smaller size and thus traps and holds the cake in the compact. | 06-19-2014 |

20140334423 | METHOD FOR ACCESSING A TRANSMISSION CHANNEL IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK WITH A CONTENTION WINDOW - The invention relates to a transmission control method of a set of transmitter/receiver systems of a local network comprising N transmitter/receiver systems wishing to transmit at least one data packet via the wireless local network, each transmitter/receiver system wishing to transmit said at least one data packet after a contention period during which a transmitter/receiver is or is not authorised to transmit the data packet of said transmitter/receiver, the method being characterised in that the contention period is broken down into R consecutive contention windows where R≧1, each contention window being broken down into K intervals of equal duration θ followed by an interval of duration δ, each contention window corresponding to a round r of contention; and in that the method comprises a step of determining the number K of intervals and the number R of contention windows, on the basis of the number N of transmitter/receiver systems wishing to transmit at least one data packet via the wireless local network. | 11-13-2014 |
20140341589 | RELIABLE VISIBILE LIGHT COMMUNICATION WITH DARK LIGHT SYNCHRONIZATION - LEDs that transmit or receive data in a VLC channel may create a flickering effect which is caused by the human eye being able to perceive the fluctuations of the light intensity in a LED. To prevent flickering such that the LED is perceived as being illuminated at a constant intensity, the LEDs may emit light based on a pattern of dark and energy slots. During the dark slots, the LEDs may be reversed bias to determine how much light is received. Based on comparing the light received, each VLC system may synchronize respective clocks such that the dark slots align. The VLC systems may then transmit a data frame preamble instructing the other VLC systems to cease synchronization and use the dark slots to receive the data from the data frame. While transmitting the data frame, the VLC systems may continue to use the energy slots to prevent flicker. | 11-20-2014 |
20150050994 | LIGHT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN USER DEVICES AND PHYSICAL OBJECTS - Systems and methods for communicating information between user devices and physical objects which are separate from the user devices. The physical objects may store information related to one or more online games associated with the physical objects. The user devices may obtain the information stored by the physical objects via light communication. The user devices may use the obtained information in order to effectuate presentation of a virtual character and/or virtual object in an online game corresponding to the information. | 02-19-2015 |
