Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for autonomous, semi-autonomous, and assisted manual application of a cosmetic style to a portion of skin (e.g., skin, hair, eyebrow) of an individual. A cosmetic deposition device includes an applicator component, a position sensor, and a reservoir for compositions for the cosmetic style. A display of the cosmetic deposition device represents the portion of skin as a guide segment, and represents the applicator component as a visual indicator relative to the guide segment based on the position sensor. The depiction of the visual indicator responds to changes in the position of the applicator component relative to the portion of the biological surface to visually guide the individual to accurately apply the cosmetic style, and a feedback device alerts the individual if the application deviates from the portion of the biological surface. These approaches enable the individual to correct application of the composition in real time.

Abstract: A fabricating process may include: producing a trench, in an encapsulated-silicon layer, in the location where a silicon-nitride core of the waveguide must be produced; then depositing a silicon-nitride layer on the encapsulated-silicon layer, the thickness of the deposited silicon-nitride layer being sufficient to completely fill the trench; then removing the silicon nitride situated outside of the trench to uncover an upper face with which the trench filled with silicon nitride is flush; then depositing a dielectric layer that covers the uncovered upper face in order to finalize the encapsulation of the silicon-nitride core and thus to obtain a mixed layer containing both the silicon and silicon-nitride cores encapsulated in dielectric.

Abstract: A cryogen storage vessel at an installation is filled with liquid cryogen from a liquid cryogen storage tank that has a pressure lower than that of the vessel. After headspaces of the vessel and tank are placed in fluid communication with another via a gas transfer vessel and are pressure-balanced, a pump in a liquid transfer line connected between the tank and the vessel is operated to transfer amounts of liquid cryogen from the tank to the vessel via the liquid transfer line and pump as amounts of gaseous cryogen are transferred, through displacement by the pumped cryogenic liquid, from the vessel to the tank.
