  • Patent number: 10226872
    Abstract: An electric shaving assembly for shaving decorative designs in hair includes a shaver. A cutting assembly is operationally coupled to the shaver and is configured to cut hair. Each of a plurality of masks is selectively couplable to the shaver to cover the cutting assembly. Each of a plurality of openings is positioned in a top of a respective mask. Each opening has a shape so that the plurality of openings has a variety of shapes, such as letters of the alphabet and designs. Each mask is configured to contact skin of a user to position the cutting assembly to shave a respective shape into the hair on the skin.

  • Patent number: 5276345
    Abstract: The lift-off technique for transferring a preprocessed GaAs circuit to a quartz carrier is used to integrate GaAs active devices with distributed quartz microwave circuit elements (e.g., microstrip circuitry) in a single integrated circuit package. The present invention is therefore useful in making a variety of extremely rugged, low loss millimeter and submillimeter wave integrated circuits. By restricting the GaAs layer to a thin membrane and by impurity-doping the GaAs layer only in the regions of the active devices, the advantages of the quartz substrate in the presence of millimeter wave or submillimeter wave radiation are essentially retained.
