Abstract: The invention relates to the cosmetic use of an association of (i) at least one polyphenol selected from the monomers and oligomers of flavonoids extracted from vines, the derivatives thereof and the mixtures thereof, and (ii) at least two essential oils selected from peppermint, geranium, lemon balm, lemongrass, rosemary and lavender, for treating and/or preventing oily skin or skin with oily tendencies and/or aesthetic skin problems associated therewith. The invention also relates to a cosmetic method for treating oily skin, and to compositions containing the association. It also relates to the association of polyphenols and the mixture of essential oils for treating acne or skin with oily tendencies.

Abstract: A composition for topical application containing at least one combination of (a) polyphenols selected from proanthocyanidin monomers and oligomers (OPC), hydroxystilbenes, flavonoid monomers and oligomers, and derivatives and mixtures thereof, (b) a spruce extract having at least one lignan selected from: hydroxymatairesinol, secoisolariciresinol, conidendrin, lariciresinol and liovile. It also relates to the cosmetic use of such a combination for combating the signs of ageing of the skin or hair and nails or the effects of pollution, and a cosmetic treatment method using said combination.

Abstract: A high-frequency substrate contains a carrier substrate, which has at least one fastening element. The fastening element is deposited on the outer region of the carrier substrate and protrudes over the outer region of the carrier substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic use of an association of (i) resveratrol or a derivative thereof and (ii) betaine or a derivative thereof, or of a composition containing said association in a physiologically acceptable medium, to fight against the signs of ageing of the skin.

Abstract: Compositions allowing the stimulation of hyaluronic acid synthesis via an increase in has-2 expression and their use in the treatment of conditions related to a decrease in hyaluronic acid synthesis.

Abstract: A silicon alignment pin is used to align successive layer of component made in semiconductor chips and/or metallic components to make easier the assembly of devices having a layered structure. The pin is made as a compressible structure which can be squeezed to reduce its outer diameter, have one end fit into a corresponding alignment pocket or cavity defined in a layer of material to be assembled into a layered structure, and then allowed to expand to produce an interference fit with the cavity. The other end can then be inserted into a corresponding cavity defined in a surface of a second layer of material that mates with the first layer. The two layers are in registry when the pin is mated to both. Multiple layers can be assembled to create a multilayer structure. Examples of such devices are presented.
