Abstract:
An earphone provided with a charging and/or data wire, having an earphone portion and a wire portion; one end of the earphone portion is fixedly provided with a wire socket; the wire portion has a wire for charging and/or data transmission; one end of the wire is fixedly provided with an earphone plug that matches with the wire socket and is connectable thereto; another end of the wire is fixedly provided with a wire plug.
Abstract:
The methods, procedures, kits, and devices described herein assist with the healing process of tissue that was previously or simultaneously treated for a therapeutic or cosmetic effect. The methods, procedures, kits, and devices described herein can also provide temporary simulated results of a cosmetic procedure to allow for visual assessment to select the type of procedure or for treatment planning in advance of the surgical procedure.
Abstract:
A hair styling apparatus includes a handle, a styling head and a heater. The handle has a pair of pivotally joined arms, and the head includes a pair of styling members which cooperate to form styling surfaces of the styling head. Each styling member is extendable from and retractable into the handle.
Abstract:
A method of automatically selecting at least one of stored multimedia files for transfer between a first storage medium and a second storage medium. In the method, each stored file is assigned a popularity weighting based on popularity information and files are selected that have a popularity weighting within a preferred range.
Abstract:
An electrorheological clutch comprises drive and driven members that selectively engage by the application of a voltage to an electroheological fluid (ER) provided between the driven and driven members. The drive and driven members are formed with axially-oriented surfaces that define between then axially-oriented spaces for the ER fluid so as to minimise problems with settlement of the ER particles.
Abstract:
An automatic convection heating baking apparatus for bread or cake making with greatly improved automatic-baking quality is disclosed. Baking in this apparatus is achieved by two hot air streams each covering about half of the baking chamber space. Hot air circulation is produced by forming suction and blowing regions within the baking chamber by placing an electric fan within a single ventilation compartment. The machine is compact and low-cost since only a single electric fun is needed to cause circulation and to produce two hot air streams, premature hot air return to the ventilation compartment is prevented by using air-regulating means. Dual timer for mixing and baking is provided to improve cake fluffiness by controlling heating during ingredient mixing.
Abstract:
An attachment for a hair dryer is disclosed of the type that requires a source of power, for example a massaging apparatus or an infra-red radiation heater. Rather than provide the attachment with its own power source, the attachment is formed with a terminal that allows it to be connected to the power supply circuit of a suitably adapted hair dryer.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for calibrating or adjusting an accelerometer, wherein the accelerometer is held stationary to obtain the signal outputs from the accelerometer, representing component vectors making up the composite vector of 1 g. Thus, gain or sensitivity, and the zero-g signal offset along for each axis of the accelerometer is determined and adjustable.
Abstract:
A person's exercise monitored using an accelerometer to detect and count the steps of the person. Furthermore, acceleration profiling distinguishes walking from running and total distance covered in the exercise is estimated using different stride lengths for walking and running. The person's pace may be maintained using a music playback unit with an adjustable rate of playback to influence the pace of the person with the music tempo.
Abstract:
A person's exercise monitored by using an accelerometer to detect and count the steps of the person. Furthermore, acceleration profiling distinguishes walking from running and total distance covered in the exercise is estimated using different stride lengths for walking and running. The person's pace may be maintained using a music playback unit capable of adjusting the rate of the playback so as to influence the person by the music tempo.
