Abstract: An apparatus releases a sunless tanning product from one or more containers for uniform spray application to the skin of the user. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus is structured as a vertical tower and a plurality of containers are held in spaced vertical alignment so that each container is positioned in operative alignment below an actuator lever. A control knob is operatively linked to the actuator levers, whereupon operation of the control knob serves to move the actuator levers to simultaneously depress discharge nozzles on each of the containers, thereby causing sprayed release of the sunless tanning product with the assistance of a propellant, such as aerosol. In the preferred embodiment, the control knob is connected to a cam mechanism which, upon rotation thereof, serves to move a linkage to operate the levers relative to the discharge nozzles of the containers between an off position and an on position. The tower is surrounded by a housing having vertically arranged nozzle openings aligned with the nozzles of the spray containers. The control knob is accessible on the exterior of the housing. In another embodiment, the apparatus holds a single container of the sunless tanning product for spray application to the face.

Title: Method and apparatus for achieving flexible bandwidth using variable guard bands
Inventor: KHANDEKAR AAMOD
IPC: H04W16/10
Filed: 2006-10-27
Abstract: Techniques to flexibly support different bandwidths in a wireless communication system are described. The system supports a configurable operating bandwidth using a fixed design bandwidth and variable guard bands. Values for various parameters such as fast Fourier transform (FFT) size, cyclic prefix length, and sample rate may be selected based on the design bandwidth. The design bandwidth may be associated with K total subcarriers. Different operating bandwidths may be supported by selecting different numbers of usable subcarriers. A transmitter and a receiver may perform processing for a transmission using the same FFT size, cyclic prefix length, and sample rate regardless of the selected operating bandwidth. The system may use different operating bandwidths and/or different parameter values (e.g., FFT sizes) for different portions of a transmission, e.g., a preamble and a main body of the transmission.
