Abstract:
Methods, compositions and kits are disclosed. The methods are directed to determining the presence or relative amounts of two or more components in a medium. A combination is provided comprising a medium suspected of containing the components, at least two sensitizer reagents and at least one reactive reagent activatable by singlet oxygen. The sensitizer reagents are capable of generating singlet oxygen and are distinguishable by wavelength of sensitization. The combination of sensitizer reagents and reactive reagents allows differential detection of the components. The sensitizer reagents are differentially activated. The amount of signal generated as a result of the activation of said reactive reagent is determined wherein the amount thereof is related to the amount of each of the components in the medium.
Abstract:
The invention comprises a liquid lamellar composition comprising surfactant, a specific lamellar structuring system, emollient, and specific structurant.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for dual-target register allocation is described, intended to enable the efficient mapping/renaming of registers associated with instructions within a pipelined microprocessor architecture.
Abstract:
A method and system for preventing an operator of a vehicle from using a handheld wireless communication device without a hands-free communication device associated therewith when the vehicle is in motion.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, a power up (or power mode) interface is provided whereby a chip's power up signals are encoded into multiple states to provide more functions than the number of signals used to define the states.
Abstract:
This invention relates to rinse-off skin conditioning compositions comprising relatively low amounts of oil/emollient and relatively low amounts of aqueous phase stabilizer/structurant. Use of unsaturated fatty acid (or at least minimum amount of unsaturated fatty acid as percentage of total fatty acid) has been found to result in unexpectedly high hydration. In a second embodiment, use of branched fatty acid (at minimum amount branched as percentage of total) also results in superior hydration. Also mixtures of unsaturated and branched fatty acids can be used.In a second embodiment, the invention relates to method of enhancing hydration using compositions as noted.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to substantially surfactant-free liquid compositions comprising moderate levels of oil. By limiting amount of oil and using aqueous phase structuring agent, it is possible to provide stable and optionally translucent compositions.
Abstract:
The invention described is a method and system for communicating automated vehicle information via a transceiver-facilitated communication device.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to method and system for providing automatic vehicle registration and control via transceiver-facilitated wireless communication of a unique vehicle identification code and a vehicle location code from a vehicle.
