Title: Spring-like textured composite floorcovering
Inventor: ZAFIROGLU DIMITRI
IPC: B32B27/04
Filed: 2009-07-22
Abstract: The present invention concerns a textured floor covering composite comprising a highly conformable fibrous outer layer 101 and an optional porous and resilient backing layer 102 that are continually, contiguously, or continuously attached to an activated adhesive layer 103 along a three-dimensional, undulating interface.  The undulations correspond to depressed and elevat-ed areas on the surface of the composite. Such a composite can be fabricated if its precursor is subjected to heat and pressure for a finite length time, provided that the applied pressure is relatively low, preferably under about 200 psi. The textured composite can be used as a floor covering that advantageously resists warping and remains insensitive to variations in ambient temperature and humidity, including exposure to water.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for tar-geted and individualized delivery of multiple skin benefit agents to the skin of a user. The image of a predetermined treatment area of the user's skin is first captured by an imaging device. The captured image data is then analyzed by a computing device to generate a unique skin profile for the user, which is indicative of the skin conditions at the predetermined treatment area. Based on such skin profile, a printing device prints out one or more cosmetic delivery sheets that can be applied to the predetermined treatment area. Each of the cosmetic delivery sheets contains a sub-strate with multiple isolate, discrete regions, while at least two of the regions are imprinted with different skin benefit agents for treating different skin conditions of the predeter-mined treatment area according to the unique skin profile of the user.

Abstract: On a découvert que plusieurs glycosides de diterpène (par exemple, rubusoside, rébaudioside, monoside de stéviol et stévioside) amplifient la solubilité dun certain nombre de composés importants aux plans pharmaceutique et médicinal, y compris, sans s'y limiter, le paclitaxel, la camptothécine, la curcumine, la tanshinone IIA, la capsaïcine, la cyclosporine, lérythromycine, la nystatine, litraconazole, et le célécoxib. Lutilisation du glycoside de diterpène rubusoside augmente la solubilité de tous les composés testés. Les glycosides de diterpène appartiennent à une classe naturelle de composés augmentant la solubilité dans leau, qui sont non toxiques et qui seront utiles comme nouveaux agents complexants ou excipients dans les industries pharmaceutique, agricole (par exemple, solubilisation de pesticides), cosmétique et alimentaire. Les solutions aqueuses utilisant le rubusoside pour augmenter la solubilité de médicaments sinon insolubles pourront être administrées par plusieurs nouvelles voies dadministration. En outre, linvention montre que des solutions aqueuses de composés thérapeutiques avec le rubusoside conservent lactivité pharmacologique connue des composés.

Title: Multi-resolution scan
Inventor: SENKO MICHAEL W
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2010-03-16
Abstract: A multi-resolution mass spectrometer system and intra-scanning method is introduced to enhance the measured peak resolution at different regions of a given mass spectrum while not significantly increasing the total duration of the scan. Such an arrangement enables extra resolution where necessary, such as, for example, when incorporating a slower scan rate only over a predetermined narrow low mass marker region of a given mass spectrum. Once past the marker region, the scan rate can be increased to provide the appropriate resolution for peptide identification.

Title: Blister with tilting side-walls
Inventor: STEVENS GERARD
IPC: B65D75/36
Filed: 2010-05-24
Abstract: A blister sheet (1) has a generally rectangular blister (2) formed with one pair of longer side walls (7) having parallel steps (8) and a second pair of shorter side wall (9) devoid of steps. The side walls serve to space a front face (5) of the blister from the plane of a rupturable foil backing sheet (4) which retains medication doses (nor shown) inside the blister until they are to be taken. The medication doses are ejected from the cavity of the blister (2) by depressing its front face with finger pressure so that they are forced against the backing sheet (4) with sufficient force to rupture it. During the application of finger pressure to the front face (5) it bows downwardly in its central region as indicated by the broken outline. Simultaneously the end walls (9) tilt in-wardly towards one another so that any medication doses lying against them are forced into the central region of the blister from which they can be ejected more easily by the descending front face (5).

Title: Spot weld data management and monitoring system
Inventor: EDWARDS PAUL CARLOS II
IPC: B23K11/25
Filed: 2012-01-17
Abstract: A weld data management and monitoring system that supports weld data trend analysis. Weld data is collected for each weld operation and a trend index equation is applied to the data to calculate a composite number for the operation. The composite numbers for numerous welds may be plotted and analyzed to detect and evaluate weld trends over a specified period of time. In an example embodiment, the trend index equation uses the weld heat input, current, resistance, and time values to calculate the composite number. Trend data may be analyzed to identify a time when variances, whether within or outside specified tolerances, occurred.  The ability to detect and analyze variances in weld operation data during a specified period of time may assist the manufacturer in identifying and resolving problems related to the weld equipment as well as other manufacturing processes or operations that may have caused variances in weld operations.
