Publication number: 20120256939Abstract: Provided are systems and methods that address the problem of single scattering in homogeneous volumes. In one implementation, an importance sampling technique is provided that avoids a singularity near point light sources. The system and method can be extended to the situation of area lights of arbitrary shapes. The error caused by the non-constant distance to the finite-extent area light is distributed by using random sample points within the area light as points from which lighting is calculated for sampling points along the ray.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2012Publication date: October 11, 2012Applicants: SONY CORPORATION, Solid Angle SL, SONY PICTURES TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Christopher Kulla, Marcos Fajardo Orellana

Publication number: 20120088071Abstract: A roofing material has multiple coatings with at least one directionally disposed coating. The roofing material has at least one non-planar surface for exposure to environmental conditions. A first coating is directionally disposed on a portion of the non-planar surface to cover less than all of the non-planar surface. The first coating has a visual attribute and an energy-efficiency attribute which are both different from corresponding visual and energy-efficiency attributes of the non-planar surface on which the first coating is disposed. A second coating is directionally disposed on at least a portion of the first coating. The second coating has a visual attribute which is different from the visual attributes of both the first coating and the non-planar surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2011Publication date: April 12, 2012Applicant: COOL ANGLE LLCInventors: Kirk M.

Patent number: 8146604Abstract: A fluid delivery device includes an accumulator, a deformable fluid reservoir, a user-actuated valve, a fluid delivery channel and an application element. The accumulator accumulates pressure and houses the fluid reservoir. The fluid delivery channel couples the fluid reservoir on a proximal end and extends to a distal end. A user-actuated valve controls a flow rate of fluid passing through the fluid delivery channel from the fluid reservoir to the distal end in response to pressure in the accumulator being above a predetermined threshold. The application element is coupled to the distal end of the fluid delivery channel to facilitate dispersal of fluid from the fluid delivery channel.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2008Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Angles BeautyInventors: Clifford Wright, Richard Ouellette

Publication number: 20120010582Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved garment for capturing bodily fluids. In particular, embodiments of the present invention provide a garment including a main garment body configured to be worn by a wearer and a capturing panel having a receiving surface configured to receive bodily fluids excreted from the wearer attached to the main garment body such that the capturing panel covers at least a first portion of said main garment body. The capturing panel is made out of a natural material, has a thickness no greater than approximately 4 mm, and is configured to transfer bodily fluid received from the wearer away from the receiving surface. A fluid resistant treatment may be applied to at least a second portion of the main garment body, which second portion may be identical to the first portion. A odor-neutralizing treatment may be applied at least a portion of the capturing panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2010Publication date: January 12, 2012Applicant: Angle Enterprises, L.L.C.Inventor: Angela Newnam

Patent number: 7246900Abstract: An endpiece (E) is composed by disposing a pair of elastic inner and outer wiring or plating parts in juxtaposition. An outer part external member (1) is adopted to keep a shape and structure of the endpiece (E) intact and reinforced. The inner part is a buffer piece (2) doubled back into a hairpin shape and has at least a first bending portion (21) of convex shape and a second bending portion (22) of concave shape. When a temple (T) is unfolded to excess, the first and second bending portions (21) and (22) flexibly bend towards a direction to which those portions expand so as to counterbalance stress to which the external member (1) is subjected.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2005Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: Try-Angle Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shigeyuki Fujimoto
