Abstract:
The invention relates to specific synergistic combinations (providing perfume delivery in both diluted and undiluted compositions) between specific soap-based liquid concentrates and particularly defined perfumes. The invention further relates to a method of delivering enhanced smell and/or enhanced fragrance intensity in use using such combinations.
Abstract:
A personal care composition is provided which includes a fragrance component selected from the group consisting of hexyl acetate, dihydromyrcenol, phenyl ethyl alcohol, benzyl acetate and mixtures thereof, and from 1 to 30% of a C10-C24 fatty acid material by weight of the composition, wherein from 60 to 85% by weight of the fatty acid material is a salt and a remainder of the fatty acid material is a free fatty acid.
Abstract:
A preservative system and a personal care composition containing that system is provided which includes the preservative combination of a C10-C24 acyl glycinate salt and a hydroxyethyl sulfonate salt. This preservative system is effective against gram negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of obtaining enhanced perfume bloom, e.g., bars providing enhanced perfume impact. By selecting specific bar compositions (e.g., with low TFM and specific starch-polyol structuring system), it has been unexpectedly found that bloom is actually increased upon dilution of such bars.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods of achieving directed evolution of viruses by in vivo screening or “panning” to identify viruses comprising scrambled AAV capsids having characteristics of interest, e.g., tropism profile and/or neutralization profile (e.g., ability to evade neutralizing antibodies). The invention also provides scrambled AAV capsids and virus particles comprising the same.
Abstract:
A light emitting diode (10) includes an LED chip (14) and an encapsulant (16) enclosing the LED chip. The LED chip has a light emitting surface (141), and the encapsulant has a light output surface (161) over the light emitting surface. The light output surface defines a plurality of annular, concentric grooves (163). Each groove is cooperatively enclosed by a first groove wall (165) and a second groove wall (166). The first groove wall is a portion of a circumferential side surface of a cone, and a conical tip of the cone is located on the light emitting surface of the LED chip.
Abstract:
A method used in a time domain equalizer is provided. A method comprising the steps of: providing a time domain equalizer comprising a feed forward equalizer and a feedback equalizer; and using a conjugate gradient iteration in order to calculate a set of coefficients of the time domain equalizer.
Abstract:
A method for training of a non-updated decision feedback equalizer is provided. The method comprising the steps of: providing a sequence of frames adapted to be received by a receiver; provide a sequence of synchronization frames interposed between a predetermined number of frames; and using at least part of the sequence of synchronization frames to train a decision feedback equalizer (DFE), thereby speeding up system convergence or making system convergence possible.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing coverage to a first cell through a first antenna system and coverage to a second cell through a second antenna system. Data is also processed for transmission to a mobile device in the first cell using the first and second antenna systems.
