  • Patent number: 8021651
    Abstract: A pulverulent composition comprising 50 to 95% by weight of an aqueous solvent, hydrophobicized silicon dioxide powder and at least one film-forming and/or setting polymer for the temporary shaping of keratin fibers and a corresponding pulverulent styling composition. Upon mechanical stress, the powder releases the solvent and the film-forming and/or setting polymer so that the desired shaping or setting of, for example, a mechanically produced shape of the treated fibers is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20090312888
    Abstract: In a method for displaying information in a vehicle: a region of the surroundings of the vehicle is captured optically via at least one image capture device; the captured image data are transmitted to a control and analysis unit, which analyzes the captured image data for the presence of traffic signs or traffic installations; and information is displayed on a display unit in the vehicle if the captured image data following analysis on the part of the control and analysis unit contain at least one traffic sign and/or at least one traffic installation. The control and analysis unit is supplied with route information about the current or planned route of the vehicle, information adapted to the current or planned route of the vehicle being displayed if for different route options different traffic signs and/or different traffic installations are detected.

  • Publication number: 20080122371
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling a passive matrix arrangement of organic light emitting diodes which can be used, for example, as a display for the rendering or display of visually perceivable information. It is the object of the invention to increase the service life of passive matrix arrangements with organic light emitting diodes with an increased presettable luminance of electromagnetic radiation emitted by organic light emitting diodes. In the method in accordance with the invention, the electrical current flow takes place via rows and lines of a passive matrix arrangement of organic light emitting diodes connected to an electrical power source. The electrical current flow is modulated in its pulse width, that is the respective switch-on time, to be able to observe presettable luminance values of the individual organic light emitting diodes. Larger pulse width/longer switch-on times thus result in a larger luminance of the emitted electromagnetic radiation.
