Patent CA-2368381-C (CA)
Inventor: HARRIS PAMELA
IPC: A45D44/00
Filed: 2000-05-05
Granted: 2008-08-05
Abstract: The present invention provides a process by which smoothness, body and a permanent wave pattern can be imparted to multi-textured hair of all types, from hair having an excessively thightly curled appearance, such as Negroid hair, to hair having a straight appearance, such as Caucasian hair, with substantially less damage to the hair. The process of the present invention uniquely combines the use of two hair structure altering chemicals -- an alkaline hydroxide (such as sodium hydroxide) and a thioglycolate reducing agent (preferably ammonium thioglycolate) -- to harmoniously bring about a desired wave pattern in the hair. Using the Wave Balance Scale (a hair reference scale) of the present invention, a sodium hydroxide formulation is chosen based on the type and natural curl level of the hair. The sodium hydroxide formulation is applied to the hair for a time sufficient to relax the natural curl in the hair by breaking some of the sulfide bonds in the hair. Then, after rinsing but prior to any neutralization, the ammonium thioglycolate formulation is applied to the hair and the hair is placed on curling rods for a time sufficient to rearrange the wave pattern of the relaxed hair. The hair is then rinsed and neutralized, while still rodded, f or a time sufficient to lock in the new wave pattern by reforming the sulfide bond linkages. After neutralization, the hair can be shampooed, conditioned and styled either curly or straight as desired by the patron.

Abstract: An optical switch for switching the light path between collimate lenses (35) optically coupled to the ends of corresponding optical fibers (4a, 4b, 4c, a nd 4d) by the advancing and retracting movements of a prism (31) is provided comprising an electromagnetic driver (2) having an armature (21) arranged to hold the prism (31) and a coil block (2a) for driving the movement of the armature (21) by means of magnetic actions and a leaf spring (27) consisting mainly of four parallelly extending spring strips (27aa, 27ab, 27ac, and 27a d) and fixedly joined at one end to a body (1) and at the other end to the armature (21) thus to spatially hold the armature (21) and the prism (31) fo r linear movement. The electromagnetic driver (2) and the prism (31) are disposed next to each other along the moving direction of the armature (21). The armature (21) and the prism (31) can linearly be moved at a right angle to the light path between the lenses (35) when the optical switch is in action. This allows the prism to be linearly moved, unlike any conventional arrangement where a moving member holding the prism is pivotably moved about a pivot. Since dead space for clearing the pivotal movement of the prism is no t needed, the body can be minimized in the overall size.

Abstract: A pulsed multiple colour laser system is disclosed having particular application for incorporation into a digital holographic printer for producing RGB colour reflection holograms. A Nd:YLF crystal (1) in a laser cavity is excited to produce an emission at (1313) nm which is frequency converted by doubling to 656.3 nm and by tripling to 437.7 nm. In a separate cavity a similar Nd:YLF crystal (1a) is synchronously or asynchronously excited to produce an emission at 1047.1 nm (or at the related line of 1053 nm) which is frequency converted by doubling to 523.6 nm (or 526.5 m). The emissions at 437.7 nm and 656.5 nm are combined co-linearly with the emission at 523.6 nm (or 526.5 nm) to produce a single RGB pulsed laser beam.

Abstract: A furniture coaster (20) made of felt glued under the furniture leg (28) intended to protect the floor from scratches when the furniture is moved. The upper face (26) of the coaster is imbibed with an adhesive, which replaces the double-sided tapes which are currently used. This treatment allows for greatly improved shear resistance as well as better water resistance. A replaceable coaster (30) is obtained when the adhesive is injected on the back (38) of a Velcro mushroom surface (36), a sole (34) is affixed to be replaced when worn. Thus, the necessity of removing the persistent glue joint after a worn coaster is removed is reduced. The preferred application consists in a reversible three layer sole: the top (42) and the bottom (46) being felt and the center (48), reinforced.

Filed: 2001-12-28
Granted: 2011-04-12
Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention relates to identifying locomotive consists within train consists, and determining the order of the locomotives within the identified locomotive consists. By identifying locomotive consists and the order of locomotives within such consists, a railroad can better manage it locomotive fleet. In one exemplary embodiment, an on-board tracking system for being mounted to each locomotive of a train includes locomotive interfaces for interfacing with other systems of the particular locomotive, and a computer coupled to receive inputs from the interface, and a GPS receiver and a satellite communicator (transceiver) coupled to the computer. Generally, the onboard tracking systems determine the absolute position of the locomotive on which it is mounted and additionally, obtain information regarding specific locomotive interfaces that relate to the operational state of the locomotive. Each equipped locomotive operating in the field determines its absolute position and obtains other information independently of other equipped locomotives. Position is represented as a geodetic position, i.e., latitude and longitude. As locomotives provide location and discrete information from the field, a central data processing facility receives the raw locomotive data. The data center processes the locomotive data and determines locomotive consists.
