Abstract: Volumizing compositions, including shampoos, which provide volume, body, fullness, movement and/or stylability benefits to the hair are disclosed. The compositions contain a waxy material selected from natural waxes of animal or plant origin, alkyl-modified dimethicones, copolymers of vinyl pyrrolidone and long chain alpha-olefins, synthetic wax/highly branched polyalpha olefin polymers and mixtures thereof. The compositions are substantially free of materials which form an oily coating on the hair, such as dimethicone gums, oils, triglycerides, petrolatums, unsaturated fatty acids, oils, C18-C28 mono-long chain alkyl quaternary ammonium materials, and combinations of those materials. Shampoo compositions and the method of providing volume to the hair, utilizing the defined waxy materials, are also disclosed.

Abstract: Compositions for providing hair care benefits, such as smoothing, anti-static control, color protection, frizz control and moisturization are disclosed. The compositions maintain clarity, show no separation upon standing, and remain flowable liquids at room temperature. The compositions comprise a premix consisting essentially of (a) siloxane polymers containing one or more functional groups selected from amino, phenyl, methoxy, hydroxyl, fatty alcohol, fatty acid, alkyl and combinations thereof and (b) materials selected from dimethicones having a viscosity of from about 20 to about 10,000 centipoise, mono-esters containing 20 or fewer carbon atoms, ethers containing 20 or fewer carbon atoms, linear or branched hydrocarbons containing 12 to 20 carbon atoms, and combinations thereof. The compositions can be applied directly to hair (i.e., “neat”) or via conventional hair treatment compositions, such as shampoos or conditioners.

Abstract: An electric bicycle and electric bicycle frame including batteries stored in a pair of substantially parallel top tubes. In some cases, the top tubes extend rearward of the bicycle seat tube, and an electronics housing may be disposed between the rearward extending top tube portions.

Abstract: Compositions for providing hair and skin care benefits, such as smoothing, anti-static control, color protection, frizz control and moisturization are disclosed. The compositions maintain clarity, show no separation upon standing, and remain flowable liquids at room temperature. The compositions comprise a silicone or hydrocarbon component having a viscosity of from about 2,500 to about 600,000 cSt at 25° C. (such as dimethicone gum or hydrogenated polydecene), together with a carrier fluid having a viscosity less than about 100 cSt at 25° C. and a flash point greater than about 85° C. (such as caprylyl methicone, isodecyl neopentanoate, or hydrogenated polyisobutene (250)). Hair care compositions, such as shampoos and conditioners containing those combinations, as well as the method of conditioning hair utilizing those compositions is also disclosed. The compositions can be applied directly to the hair (i.e., “neat”) or via a conventional hair treatment composition, such as a shampoo or a conditioner.

Abstract: A debris protector for use with a vehicle lamp assembly installed to an opening in a vehicle body panel or garnish to prevent the migration of accumulated road debris through a gap between the lamp assembly and the body panel opening. Such a debris protector is generally in the form of a cover element that is installable along an upper, hidden portion of a vehicle lamp assembly and an inner surface of a corresponding vehicle body panel or garnish to prevent road debris from accumulating on the lamp assembly near the body panel opening. Such a debris protector may also include a seal that is located between the cover element and the rear surface of a body panel or garnish to assist with the debris blocking function of the cover element.

Abstract: A method and system of managing resources for on-demand computing is provided. The system can include one or more pools having resources, and a provisioning manager in communication with the one or more pools. The provisioning manager can receive a request for a resource from the requestor and can obtain values for one or more categories associated with the resources. The values can be obtained for at least a portion of the resources. The one or more categories can be based on quantifiable properties associated with the resources. The provisioning manager can determine a priority score for each of the at least a portion of the resources. The provisioning manager can determine a resource from the at least a portion of the resources to be distributed to the requester, where the determination can be based at least in part on the priority score for the resource.

Abstract: A system, method, and program product are provided that identifies a cache set using Translation LookAside Buffer (TLB) attributes. When a virtual address is requested, the method, system, and program product identifies a cache set using buffer attributes. When a virtual address is received, an attempt is made to load the received virtual address from a cache. When the attempt results in a cache miss, a page is identified within a Translation LookAside Buffer that includes the virtual address. A class identifier is then retrieved from the identified page, with the class identifier identifying a cache set that is selected from the cache.

Abstract: Associating a computing device with a group of other computing devices. A service receives a common credential from the computing device and associates the computing device with the other computing devices also associated with the common credential. The service generates a machine-specific credential for use by the computing device in subsequent communications with the service. The machine-specific credential is used to authenticate, identify, and group the computing device with the other computing devices in the subsequent communications.

Abstract: A system, method, and program product are provided that identifies a cache set using Segment LookAside Buffer attributes. When an effective address is requested, an attempt is made to load the received effective address from an L2 cache. When this attempt results in a cache miss, the system identifies a segment within the Segment LookAside Buffer that includes the effective address. A class identifier is retrieved from the identified segment within the Segment LookAside Buffer. This class identifier identifies a cache set selected from the cache for replacement. Data is then reloaded into the cache set of the cache by using the retrieved class identifier that corresponds to the effective address.

Abstract: A pull-activated applicator includes a barrel, a pledget, a finger grip, and a deployment element. The pledget includes a withdrawal string and is located within the barrel. The barrel, the pledget, and the deployment element are configured such that application of a force to the deployment element in a first direction deploys the pledget and withdrawal string from the barrel in a second direction generally opposite the first direction.

Abstract: A communication device is disclosed comprising: an RF receiver circuit for receiving wireless signals from a designated transmitting device; a receiver audio circuit for converting the received wireless signals into audio waveforms; a speaker for converting the audio waveforms into sound information; and a receiver housing for enclosing the speaker, the receiver housing including a speaker mesa protruding from the receiver housing, the speaker mesa configured to fit into the ear of a user.
