Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for identification of connection areas in a telecommunications network. In one implementation, a customer set is obtained for a communications node in the telecommunications network. The customer set includes an existing connection type and a collection of network sites including the connection type is generated from the customer set. An overlay of customer sites without the connection type may be applied to the collection of network sites to generate an intersection of non-connected customer sites within the collection of network sites including the connection type. The intersection provides an indication of underserviced sites connection to the telecommunication network for potential network growth.

Abstract: A flameless candle includes a housing, which defines an enclosure. A wall is positioned in the enclosure to form an air intake chamber and an air outflow chamber. At least one opening is in communication with both the ambient air and the air intake chamber. At least one opening is in communication with the air intake chamber and the air outflow chamber. And at least one opening is in communication with the ambient air and the air outflow chamber.

Abstract: A soap-free, non-lathering shaving preparation that increases surface adherence ability when applied to the skin, a method for shaving using the shaving preparation, and a method for increasing the surface adherence ability of a soap-free, non-lathering shaving preparation. In one aspect, the shaving preparation composition includes ethoxylated fatty ester, in an amount between about 0.01 and about 1 weight percent of the composition, for increasing the surface adherence ability of the shaving preparation; behenylquaternary surfactant, in an amount between about 0.25 and about 7.5 weight percent of the composition; fatty alcohol, in an amount between about 0.75 and about 22.5 weight percent of the composition; and water, in an amount between about 40 and about 90 weight percent of the composition. In another aspect, a method of shaving comprises applying the shaving preparation to a surface to be shaved, and shaving the surface with a razor.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are skin preparations that contain an amphoteric surfactant, a cellulosic ether and a fatty ester of polyethylene glycol. Also disclosed are methods for using these compositions for shaving and body wash purposes.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are highly rinsable shaving preparations that contain a behenylquaternary surfactant, a silicone and water. They are soap free, non-lathering, moisturizing shaving preparations. Preferred embodiments include plastic beads to assist in the removal of dead skin.
