  • Publication number: 20190357961
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include an apparatus, a system and a method for shunting current between first and second electrodes to temporarily reduce current applied through first and second electrodes. In a nonlimiting embodiment, an illustrative apparatus includes first and second electrode couplings configured to electrically engage proximal ends of the first and second electrodes, respectively, the first and second electrodes each having a distal end configured to conduct electrical current generated by a switchable current source therebetween and through an electrically conductive target. A current inrush regulator is configured to temporarily shunt at least a portion of the electrical current generated by the switchable current source to temporarily reduce the electrical current passing between the distal ends of the first and second electrodes through the electrically conductive target.

  • Publication number: 20190363825
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a bandwidth constrained equalized transport (BCET) communication system comprises a transmitter that transmits a signal, a communication channel that transports the signal, and a receiver that receives the signal. The transmitter can comprise a pulse-shaping filter that intentionally introduces memory into the signal, and an error control code encoder that is a low-density parity-check (LDPC) error control code encoder. The error control encoder comprises code that is optimized based on the intentionally introduced memory into the signal, a code rate, a signal-to-noise ratio, and an equalizer structure in the receiver. In some embodiments, the communication system is bandwidth constrained, and the transmitted signal comprises an information rate that is higher than for an equivalent system without intentional introduction of the memory at the transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20190358140
    Abstract: Cosmetic compositions are widely used to obtain certain benefits like e.g. anti-aging, skin lightening and moisturizing effect. These benefits are delivered by benefit agents (actives) like e.g. anti-oxidants, hyaluronic acid and resorcinol, pheynylethyl resorcinol and 4-alkyl substituted resorcinol. However, these actives have a certain shelf life beyond which they tend to degrade in terms of chemical activity and/or their color stability. The present invention discloses a novel process to prepare cosmetic compositions that improved color stability of resorcinol, pheynylethyl resorcinol and 4-alkyl substituted resorcinol and compositions comprising such actives when prepared as per said process.
