Abstract: Using many speech recognition engines, one can select which one is best at any given iteration of sending a command to a device to be interpreted and carried out. Depending on the context, a different result of many results received from speech recognition engines is chosen. The context is determined based on window history, including rendered webpages represented by URLs previously displayed on the device or windows resulting from executed code on the computing device. In this manner, the operation of the computer is improved as a more accurate result of receiving audio and processing it to text many times is used.

Abstract: The invention is a wax free lipstick composition of from about 30 to about 50% wt. tackiness agent, from about 30 to about 50% wt. of an oil or ester, from about 0.01 to about 5% wt. of a firming, bulking agent, from about 0.5 to about 10% wt. of a transparent, oil-gelatinizing agent, and (v) optionally one or more of a coloring, perfuming, and appearance improving additive.

Abstract: An aroma dispenser comprises a flame source for providing heat, an open, porous annular ceramic substrate adapted for absorbing and reversibly retaining a quantity of at least one aromatic fluid therein, a support structure for holding the porous substrate in a coaxial spaced-apart relationship above the flame source, whereby heat generated by the flame source induces the retained aromatic fluid within the substrate to disperse into the ambient air.

Abstract: A method of forming a drape-shaped glass structural element are disclosed. The element may be used as a support for a glass table top. The glass element is formed by a unique method which involves initially supporting a glass sheet on both fixed and movable members within a mold. The movable members are moved after the glass has begun to soften and move to a final shape. This causes the final glass element to have a complicated shape which cannot be formed by conventional glass forming methods.

Abstract: A cosmetic powder brush dispenser for depositing cosmetic powder onto a brush within the unitary structure of the dispenser. The dispenser incorporates a deformable container for storing the cosmetic powder and a spray-head at the end of the container with an orifice and upstanding posts that ensure powder break-up prior to its exiting the orifice. A second embodiment of the device uses a metering collar to limit the amount of deformation of the container whereby a desired small quantity of cosmetic powder is forced therefrom.
