Publication number: 20150374095Abstract: A grooming device that absorbs moisture or oil on a patron and applies a light layer of powder to the patron, thus enabling unwanted hair to be easily brushed off the patron. The device employs a powder-dispensing head made of mesh or woven material that permits powder to pass from the head through the holes in the mesh or weave. The head is connected to or integral with a holder that enables a user's hand to stay powder-free while using the device by preventing powder from escaping onto the hand of the user holding the holder. A retainer positioned at the intersection of the head and a holder creates the cavity in the head that holds the powder. Optionally, a head ribbon is attached to or integral with at least a portion of the head and is detachably connected to the holder of a second grooming device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2015Publication date: December 31, 2015Inventor: Rosalyn Marie Lopez

Publication number: 20150374137Abstract: A method for adjusting pressure within an air bed comprises providing an air bed that includes an air chamber and a pump having a pump housing, selecting a desired pressure setpoint for the air chamber, calculating a pressure target, adjusting pressure within the air chamber until a pressure within the pump housing is substantially equal to the pressure target, determining an actual chamber pressure within the air chamber, and comparing the actual chamber pressure to the desired pressure setpoint to determine an adjustment factor error. The pressure target may be calculated based upon the desired pressure setpoint and a pressure adjustment factor. Furthermore, the pressure adjustment factor may be modified based upon the adjustment factor error determined by comparing the actual chamber pressure to the desired pressure setpoint.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2014Publication date: December 31, 2015Applicant: Select Comfort CorporationInventors: Paul James Mahoney, Matthew Glen Hilden, Matthew Wayne Tilstra
