Abstract: A mascara applicator is disclosed that comprises a conventional twisted wire core brush with a plurality of radially extending bristles regularly disposed in a first orientation. A cylindrically configured helix is twisted onto the brush around the wire core such that the brush bristles extend radially between successive loops of the helix. The helix moves at least some of the bristles to a second orientation such that one or more characteristics of the brush may be altered. Characteristics of the original brush that may be altered include mascara retention, mascara application and combing characteristics, as well as the appearance of the brush. The dimensions of the helix, the pitch of the helix and the thickness of the helix body are each pre-selected to yield the desired characteristics in the finished brush.

Title: Apparatus and method for switching service class in response to generated heat in a GPRS terminal
Inventor: AN SEONG-HYUK
IPC: H04B1/036
Filed: 2001-08-09
Abstract: An apparatus and method for switching a GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)
service class according to the heat generated by at least one specific element in a GPRS
terminal during a GPRS mode of operation. A temperature sensor measures a temperature
of a specific element in the GPRS terminal during a GPRS mode of operation. An A/D
converter converts an analog value of the temperature measured by the temperature
sensor to a digital value. A limit data register stores a critical temperature of the specific
element for the GPRS service class. A controller compares the measured temperature
from the temperature sensor with the critical temperature stored in the limit data register,
and switches the GPRS service class to a low class, when the measured temperature is
greater than or equal to the critical temperature. The controller maintains the present
GPRS service class when the measured temperature is less than the critical temperature.
Further, the controller switches the GPRS service class from the low class to the high
class, when the measured temperature becomes less than the critical temperature during
the low class GPRS service.

Abstract: A ventilation system for one or more metal-air cells includes a distributor for uniformly
distributing oxygen between oxygen electrodes in response to operation of an air moving
device. The distributor may be further operative, or associated with one or more restrictive
passageways that are operative, while unsealed to provide a barrier function that protects the

reactant air flow path through which air is supplied to the metal-air cells. The perforated
member may be a plate or an elongate ventilation passageway, such as a tube. The metal-air
cells may be arranged in a stack, and a first of the apertures is more proximate to a first
plenum defined between the cells than a second plenum defined between the cells, and a

Abstract: A method and means for self-policing and automatically rate-limiting
multiple-user online forums. The preferred embodiment of the invention
includes a set of rules that permit users to censure other users. A censured
user has one or more "privileges" (which may include access to the online
computer system or the effective message rate of a communications
connection) taken away or diminished; the privilege is gradually restored if
the censure user behaves. The censuring participant and other pertinent
participants are notified of the effect of the censuring on the censured user.
In another aspect of the invention, the online computer system
automatically tracks the rate at which a user sends certain types of
messages, and can message rate limit a user who uses too many system
resources by sending a large number of messages in rapid succession.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de communication sans fil (100) et un procédé de communication permettant d'établir une opération de connexion d'appel sur une base audio. Par exemple, un procédé consiste à recevoir un message d'appel entrant (108) et un signal de réponse audio d'entrée (120), la voix d'un utilisateur par exemple, en réponse au message d'appel entrant (108). Ce procédé consiste à détecter une amplitude ou une caractéristique du signal de réponse audio d'entrée (120) et à envoyer un message d'appel de réponse (126) basé sur le niveau d'amplitude détecté du signal de réponse audio d'entrée (120). Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le procédé consistera à stocker le signal de réponse audio d'entrée (120) comme information audio de préconnexion (304b) et à envoyer ensuite cette information (304b) comme salutation de post-connexion. Par exemple, un utilisateur disant «Salut », termine l'appel sans avoir besoin d'utiliser un autre message de salutation. Dans un mode de réalisation différent, l'information d'accueil audio préstockée, des modèles de mots-clés par exemple, sert à établir une comparaison avec le signal de réponse audio d'entrée (120) en vue de déterminer s'il faut envoyer le message d'appel de réponse (126) pour terminer la connexion d'appel.
