Patent EP-2738647-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ABDELSAMIE AHMED
IPC: G06F3/01

Abstract: Methods and devices for identifying contactless gestures are described. In one example, the present disclosure describes a method of detecting a contactless gesture on an electronic device. The electronic device has an electromagnetic radiation transmitter and an electromagnetic radiation receiver. The electromagnetic radiation receiver is configured for receiving electromagnetic radiation emitted from the electromagnetic radiation transmitter and reflected by an object. The method includes: monitoring an amplitude of received electromagnetic radiation at the electromagnetic radiation receiver; detecting a proximity event by comparing the amplitude to a predetermined proximity threshold; after detecting the proximity event, continuing to monitor the amplitude of the received electromagnetic radiation at the electromagnetic radiation receiver; and, in response to detecting the proximity event, performing an analysis on the received electromagnetic radiation to determine whether the received electromagnetic radiation indicates a predetermined gesture.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel compounds with skin lightening properties based on an aromatic hydrazine carboxyimidoamide structure, topical skin lightening compositions comprising the same and a method of skin lightening using the said compositions. In particular, the skin lightening benefit is selected from any one of the group consisting of treating melasma, treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, treating age spots, treating dark spots and treating uneven skin tone. 
     Desired skin colour is a major unmet consumer need around the world and especially in Asia. Consumers particularly desire even skin colour, absence of age spots (solar lentigines), absence of hyperpigmentation and lighter overall skin tone. One solution is to use biological actives that reduce the activity of melanocyte cells in skin. These cells, present in the basal layer of the epidermis, make the dark coloured pigment melanin and export it, in small export vesicles called melanosomes, to the neighbouring keratinocytes. It is well described in the literature that compounds which reduce melanin synthesis when topically applied to the skin will reduce skin darkness over time and can generate a more even skin tone. 
     Tyrosinase is a very popular target for the regulation of melanocyte pigment production. However effective inhibitors of tyrosinase are bedevilled by safety issues causing, for example, melanocyte cell death, permanent depigmentation, irritation and allergic reactions. Often effective inhibitors kill melanocytes (for example hydroquinone) or cause sensitisation reactions. There is therefore a great need for safe and effective inhibitors of skin pigment production that work through an alternative safe mechanism. 
     The inventors have observed that selected compounds of the same generic structure inhibit the production of soluble melanin by B16 mouse melanoma cells without cell toxicity.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un appareil permettant d'optimiser la flexibilité d'un réseau à l'aide d'une combinaison d'une signalisation dans la bande passante et d'une signalisation hors bande. La mesure utilisée dans l'algorithme des modes de réalisation pour déterminer la flexibilité est le nombre maximal de voisins protégés. On attribue aux nœuds qui se trouvent plus près du dispositif de commande un poids plus élevé que ceux qui se trouvent plus éloignés du dispositif de commande parce que, si leur connexion au réseau est interrompue, tous leurs nœuds situés en aval seront affectés et déconnectés. Par conséquent, lors de la détermination d'un trajet jusqu'au dispositif de commande, on préfère les commutateurs qui présentent des trajets alternatifs jusqu'au dispositif de commande. On attribue des connexions dédiées à l'aide d'une signalisation hors bande pour convertir des nœuds non protégés en nœuds protégés, ce qui permet d'améliorer la flexibilité du réseau.
