An apparatus for applying a cosmetic, such as mascara to eyelashes, includes a handle, a stem, and an applicator head coupled to the stem and supported for movement relative to the handle in a direction substantially parallel to the stem axis. An actuator moves the applicator head in an axial motion comprising a forward stroke and a reverse stroke. Additionally or alternatively, the actuator may move the applicator head in a composite motion including an axial component substantially parallel to the stem axis and having a forward stroke and a reverse stroke, and a rotational oscillating component. The actuator may be a motor having a rotating motor shaft, and the applicator may further include a transmission coupling disposed between the motor shaft and the applicator head for automatically converting rotation of the motor shaft in one direction into axially reciprocating movement of the applicator head.

Shoulder supports extend from a shower enclosure wall and support a shower accessory. The shoulders have an attachment on the side for the shower accessories. The selected shower accessory would have a mating attachment on each of its ends to correspond to two shoulders extending from the enclosure walls. The attachment is preferably a male/female indentation on one of the shoulders and shower accessory and a corresponding attachment on the other. The indentations provide a non-permanent attachment of the shower accessory to the supports so that the chosen accessory may later be removed and replaced if desired.

An apparatus and method for sending email, the apparatus comprising an encryption policy database for storing encryption policies pertaining to possible addressees, and a mail mediator for intercepting an email message after being dispatched by a mail user agent, and configured to retrieve any encryption policy pertaining to the addressee from the encryption policy database and to apply the encryption policy to the email message. The mail mediator attempts to encrypt the email message if the encryption policy pertaining to the addressee dictates that the email message should be encrypted

An apparatus for generating an impact against a target object comprises a driver reciprocally disposed in a housing. The driver includes a hollow tube having a closed end and a nozzle sealing the other end. A piston is slidably positioned in the tube. Propellant is disposed between the piston and the closed end of the tube and fluid is disposed between the nozzle and the piston. A rupture disc is provided for sealing the nozzle which is adapted to rupture when the pressure in the tube exceeds a predetermined pressure. A striker is also mounted in the housing so that in a retracted position of the striker a head portion is proximate the driver and a portion of a shaft extends outwardly from the housing. The striker member is movable between the retracted position and an extended position. The propellant is ignited so that combustion gases build pressure in the tube between the piston and the closed end of the tube causing the pressure in the tube to exceed the predetermined pressure for rupturing the disc. This causes the piston to move toward the nozzle and fluid to be expelled through the nozzle for moving the driver against the head portion of the striker. The driver transfers energy to the striker for moving the striker to the extended position at high velocity for driving the end of the striker with great force against the target object. Recoil action is cushioned by the fluid exiting the nozzle.

A portable medical simulation system and method employs an artificial patient with a built-in haptic interface device, with up to four carriages for engaging different diameter catheters. A catheter stabilizer between each carriage expands and contracts in an accordion fashion as the carriages move in relation to each other, preventing the catheter from bending and bowing. A contrast display visual effect derived from a particle emitter software tool simulates the release of radiopaque dye within a simulated vasculature system for display on a monitor. A computer software based system is used for generating haptic effects on the catheter through control signals passed to each of the carriage motors controlling translation movement of the catheter and magnetic particle brakes controlling rotational movement of the catheter.

IPv6 has been developed as an evolutionary advance of IPv4. Although IPv6 offers considerable improvement in certain areas such as addressing and routing it has eliminated the Internet header length field. As a result processing of packets to obtain the upper-layer header information in which extension headers have been added can result in slower processing rates. The present invention addresses this issue by caching information relating to the length of header option fields also known as extension headers. When a flow of IPv6 packets is received and if the packet header includes extension headers a review of the cached information can avoid processing steps and hence accelerate packet processing.

This invention relates to an improved program counter which is capable of both incrementing the program count as well as decrementing the program count. This functionality provides improve implementation of decision trees in computer logic. The value of an integer is determined and compared to a predetermined constant. For each of, for example, three conditions a different decision is made. One of those decisions enables the program counter to continue on the current program list. A second decision moves the counter to a new list and causes decremental movement of the counter. The final decision enables movement to the same location as the second decision but causes incremental movement of the counter.
