  • Publication number: 20180222071
    Abstract: A method of making a razor cartridge including providing at least one razor blade having a cutting edge extending along a length of the razor blade and printing at least one printed object on the length is provided. The razor blade is positioned between the guard and the cap where the visible surface of the at least one razor blade includes a printed object. The printed object may extend continuously along the length of the razor blade and/or may have multiple portions having a comb-like structure. The printed object appears as a solid object to a viewer's naked eye. The solid object includes a plurality of printed ink dots not visible to the viewer's naked eye. The printed object of flexible, polymer ink may act as a guard element on the razor blade which helps with glide and to manage a user's skin (e.g., bulge) during shaving.

  • Publication number: 20180176784
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a system and method that can obtain a collection of wireless node data from different sources. The system and method involves a wireless location data service (WLDS) platform including a data management and a feedback module. The data management is configured to receive wireless node data through importation by a service provider. The feedback module is configured to receive wireless node data from mobile devices, engineering systems, systems generating activity logs, and third party service partners. The system and method also involves an end-user module configured to collect wireless node data and user reported corrections and transmit the collected data and corrections to the platform. A wireless node database in the platform is built and updated from the wireless node data and corrections received from the data management module and the feedback module.

  • Publication number: 20180001497
    Abstract: A razor blade having an improved lubricious material deposited thereon and a method of making a razor blade for a razor cartridge having such a material disposed thereon are described herein. A novel printing process and printing material are provided where at least one printing material is deposited on one or more razor blades via a printing process which includes one or more print heads for printing the at least one printing material and forming at least one printed object on a tip or one or more sides of the razor blade. The printing material may comprise about of about 0.25% solid to about 50% solids by weight of composition of telomer and further desirably comprises glycerol and/or an antifoam material. Optimizing coverage of the printing material may be achieved by changing materials, print heads, the firing frequency of the print head or angling or rotating the print heads.

  • Publication number: 20150126602
    Abstract: The present invention encompasses oils that have anti-inflammatory or resolution-stimulating activity that contain or are enriched with Specialized Proresolving Mediators (SPM) or SPM precursors, which originate from an oil obtained from organisms containing long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, crustaceae, algae, and mollusks. The invention also encompasses a method for the production of these oils, and the utilization of the oils for nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical formulations, and cosmetic formulations, which can be employed for treating an inflammatory condition.

  • Patent number: 8831603
    Abstract: A method of operating a communications circuit with at least one control channel and at least one data channel includes the steps of monitoring the at least one control channel, powering a receiver portion of the circuit when the at least one control channel indicates that data is to be received, and refraining from powering the receiver portion when the at least one control channel indicates that data is not to be received. The circuit can operate, for example, under the 3GPP HSDPA standard. Where desired, the clock and power supply to the receiver portion and a bit rate processing portion can be independently gated.
