Granted: 2000-05-31
Abstract: An electric hair trimmer (10) with a blade edge protective mechanism including a protective plate (30) that is movable between two positions along movable and immovable blades (28, 26) so that the protective plate (30) extends beyond the edges of the blades (26, 38) when the shutter plate (30) is at one position thus hindering the exposure of the blade edges and retracts from the edges of the blade when the protective plate is at another position thus exposing the blade edges. The main switch (18) of the trimmer (10) is linked to the protective plate (30) so that the operation of the main switch (18) changes the position of the protective plate (30) between two positions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A compound change gear transmission (11) is disclosed of the type including a multiple speed ratio main transmission section (15) and an auxiliary transmission section (17), and a shift rod (83) to engage selected main section gear ratios, and a shift rod (85) to engage selected auxiliary gear ratios. An interlock assembly (91) is included of the type having an interlock pin member (103), which normally prevents axial movement of either shift rod when the other is displaced. The shift rod (83) for the main transmission section has an interlock deactivation position corresponding to a non-neutral, predetermined gear ratio of the main section. The shift rod (83) defines an interlock recess (105) which receives the interlock pin (103) when the shift rod is in the interlock deactivation position, thus permitting simultaneous axial movement of the shift rod (85) for the auxiliary section. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The blister pack has a base section (B) with a tear shaped recess to hold the lens (L) with the edge of the base section raised (16,18) to form a self supporting structure. The oval recess is covered by a foil (D) secured by a seal (2) around the recess. The front of the base section is wider and has a cut-out (15) through which the release tag (4) of the foil can be lifted with finger pressure. The raised side sections also form finger grips to manipulate the pack. For packaging two lenses the blister pack is packed back to back with a similar pack to form a compact double. The elongated section of the tear shape recess forms a ramp up which the lens is dragged by finger pressure. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Graphic images that overlay a transmitted video signal are provided in the form of bitmaps that allow any character or font size to be displayed. A color-look-up-table (CLUT) at a receiver is defined that maps "m" inputs to a combination of color and luminance values for display. One or more map tables are provided that allow pixel colors to be encoded using fewer than "m" bits, the map tables providing an "m" bit output for accessing the CLUT. The provider of the graphic images can also specify a required minimum number of CLUT colors for rendering the images; if this minimum is greater than "m", the image is not rendered. The use of map tables provides compatibility between a variety of encoding techniques and a variety of rendering devices, without requiring different CLUTs to be transmitted for each different color encoding format.

Abstract: The fume extraction system generates a continuous air curtain (F) along a truncated surface surrounding the extraction zone. The air is rotated and diverges as it descends along the surface. The induced fumes rise along a vortex column (F') located in the middle of the zone. The system comprise an upper dome (1) whose top (10) is located on the column axis (XX'). A lower dome (2), with the same axis, has its top displaced along the axis relative to the upper dome and has an opening (20) centred on the axis. A ventilation system (4) is placed on the axis between the tops of the upper and lower domes. The ventilation system comprises turbines for generating radial air in the air guide (3), delimited by the domes, and axial air induction in the zone through the opening. The upper and lower domes are directed downwards and widened so that the air speed vector leaving the guide has a vertical component and two horizontal components. There is a fume filtering system (5,6).

Abstract: The instant invention disclosed the method of alleviating psoriasis symptoms comprises administering 11-cis-retinoic acid, in an acceptable topical vehicle, directly to psoriasis involved areas of the body. The retinoic acid has a concentration of the 11-cis isomer of at least 10 % of the level of all the isomers, on a weight basis. The 11-cis-retinoic acid can be the reaction product of the ultraviolet illumination of a second geometric isomer of retinoic acid which differs from the 11-cis-retinoic acid only in the cis-trans isomer state of at least one of its four non-ring C=C double bonds. The second isomer of retinoic acid is one of the following: all-trans; 7-cis; 9-cis; 13-cis; 7,9-dicis; 7,11-dicis; 9,11-dicis; 9,13-dicis; or 11,13-dicis. Alternatively, 11-cis retinoic acid is the reaction product of 11-cis retinaldehyde or 11-cis retinal with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite and resorcinol or mixtures thereof as oxidizing agents. The topical vehicle includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of water, propylene glycol, petrolatum, mineral oil, glycerin, and mixtures thereof.
