| 20090025122 | SPLASH GUARD - A crescent-shaped splash guard, encircling the part of the head to be washed, protects the eyes, ears and nose from soap and other solutions. It is placed centrally on the forehead above the eyes. Two opposing side portions extend from the center to above and behind the ears. The side portions form upper and lower edges providing a seal against the head. The side portions form troughs about the periphery, directing water and hair washing solutions to the side and back, and preventing solutions from dripping into the eyes, nose and ears. A handgrip in the splash guard's center provides a grip for a “hairwasher.” Holding the handgrip prevents the splash guard from shifting. The “hairwasher” applies pressure to the splash guard via the handgrip to ensure that all hair solutions are guided through the troughs and discharged away from the eyes, nose and ears. | 01-29-2009 |

| 20090216778 | ACCESSING DIFFERENT APPLICATION DATA VIA A COMMON DATA STRUCTURE - A common data type structure can be used to correlate access requests between applications that implement data in accordance with different types or type structures. In one implementation, a common data structure includes schemes for operations, sequences, records, and atoms (i.e., undefined). The system can then map any type structure to the schemes of the common data structure. In operation, a request for data by an application can involve identifying one or more proxies used by an application to map the data to the common data structure. The proxies map the data to the common data structure based on the shape of the data (to the extent it can be identified). The proxies then can return one or more data structures that comprise the identified mapping information. The application can then perform operations directly on the received data structures. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090216791 | EFFICIENTLY CORRELATING NOMINALLY INCOMPATIBLE TYPES - A nominal type framework can be configured to efficiently correlate different nominal types together based on a minimum set of common type shapes or structures. In one implementation, a developer identifies a number of different nominal types of interest (source types), and identifies the minimum set of common type shapes to be accessed by an application program. The minimum set of common type shapes can then be used to create an intermediate type (target type) to which each of the other different source types can be mapped. For example, one or more proxies can be created that map shapes of the one or more source types to corresponding shapes of the created target type. The application program created by the developer, in turn, can access, operate on, or otherwise use the mapped data of each different source type through a single target type. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20110218743 | COMPOSITE EVALUATION - A method for evaluating a composite structure includes providing a model of said structure and locally varying a material property to determine complex reflection and transmission coefficients at said locality. From these coefficients at least one ultrasonic response characteristic for said material property can be found and compared to a measured ultrasonic response of a sample to determine a local measure of the material property. This method exploits the fact that certain material properties contribute to the ultrasonic frequency response substantially independently of one another. The frequency response of a region of porosity and of a thick resin layer in particular are evaluated. In one embodiment, the modelled responses are used to provide frequency domain basis functions for material properties, which can in turn be used in a decomposition method. | 09-08-2011 |
