Abstract: This relates to an optical relay (80) for an infrared spectrometer for measuring reflectance spectra of sample plastics materials (8,174) diffusely or specularly. The relay has a housing containing a first set of reflecting surfaces (12,14,20,22) for directing a beam of infrared radiation from the source (5) to a point outside the relay at which a sample surface (8) can be located and for redirecting the beam from the sample surface as a specular reflection to the detector (6), and a second set of reflecting surfaces (12,178,176,177,22) for directing a beam of infrared radiation from the source (5), to a sample location (174), from the sample as diffuse reflection and to the detector (6). The first and second sets of reflecting surfaces are alternately positionable between the source (5) and the detector (6) of a spectrometer so that the spectrometer can be used either for diffuse or specular reflectance measurements. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed are hair care compositions and methods for preparing such compositions which provide the benefits of cleaning, conditioning, curl retention, styling and setting properties simultaneously to hair in the application of a single product. The hair care compositions contain fatty alkyl amine salts, long chain quaternary ammonium salts and mixtures thereof of anionic styling polymers in a non-anionic surfactant system, wherein the surfactant system contains nonionic surfactants, semi-polar nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants and mixtures thereof. The styling, setting and conditioning agents are present in the form of fatty alkyl amine salts or fatty quaternary ammonium salts which form anionic styling polymer particulate networks upon dilution in water. These networks are dispersed in the aqueous non-anionic surfactant system and are stabilized and thickened by optional swellable polymer thickening agents. Hair care compositions of the present invention can be made in the form of structured liquids, pearlescent/opaque isotropic liquid and/or translucent/clear isotropic liquids. The hair care compositions of the present invention, which allow for re-styling of the hair by wetting the hair with water, contain no anionic surfactants, silicones, solvents or cationic polymeric conditioning agents. Furthermore, multiple application of these hair care compositions does not produce a noticeable build-up on the hair.

Abstract: Computer network method and apparatus provides targeting of appropriate audience based on psychographic or behavioral profiles of end users. The psychographic profile is formed by recording computer activity and viewing habits of the end user. Content of categories of interest and display format in each category are revealed by the psychographic profile, based on user viewing of agate information. Using the profile (with or without additional user demographics), advertisements are displayed to appropriately selected users. Based on regression analysis of recorded responses of a first set of users viewing the advertisements, the target user profile is refined. Viewing by and regression analysis of recorded responses of subsequent sets of users continually auto-targets and customizes ads for the optimal end user audience.

Abstract: A tissue ablation device creates long linear lesions along a body space wall of an animal, and primarily between adjacent pulmonary vein ostia in a left atrial wall. An ablation element includes first and second ends that are bordered by first and second anchors. The anchors are adapted to secure the ablation element ends at predetermined first and second locations along the body space wall such that the ablation element is adapted to ablate an elongate region of tissue between those locations. The anchors may be guidewire tracking members, each including a bore adapted to receive and track over a guidewire, and may anchor within adjacent pulmonary vein ostia when the engaged guidewires are positioned within the respective veins. Stop members may be provided on the guidewires and may be adapted for positioning the relative anchors or for forcing the anchors to fit snugly within the vein ostia. A conduit passageway through the catheter houses a stiffening stylet which may be advanced into the region of the ablation element in order to impart a shape to that element to conform it to a predetermined region of anatomy, or to stiffen the underlying catheter in order to advance the assembly into remote anatomy.

Abstract: Liquid organic material is controllably delivered to a receptacle located in the center of a heated surface capable of horizontally rotating about its central axis. As the heated surface rotates, material deposited within the central receptacle is forced outwardly and across the rotating surface. As the materials move radially, it evaporates into a vapor, which is then transported to one or more nozzles. From the nozzles, the vapor is applied to a substrate and condensed. The spinning disk evaporator enables the evaporation of a wider variety of organic liquids, greater reliability in continuous operation, a decrease in maintenance, and a larger and more constant material flow rate.
