Abstract: A hair styling device (1) comprises a hinge jaw assembly (10) including a first jaw (11) having a first plate (12) and a second jaw (13) having a second plate (14). In an opened position of the jaw assembly (10), hair can be received between the plates (12, 14), and in a closed position of the jaw assembly (10), hair can be hair styled between the plates (12, 14). The hair styling device (1) further comprises a heater arrangement (20) configured to heat at least one of the plates (12, 14), and a hair wetness control mechanism (30) configured to supply a mist of liquid between the plates (12, 14) in the closed position of the jaw assembly (10), wherein the hair wetness control mechanism (30) includes a two-fluid nozzle (31), and an air pump (33) and a liquid tank (35) connected to respective inlets of the two-fluid nozzle (31).

Abstract: A hair care device comprises a body having an output to supply heated air, and at least two different attachments that can be attached to the output of the body. In accordance with the invention, the body comprises a detector for detecting whether one of the attachments is attached to the body, and if so, which attachment is attached to the body, to provide a detection result, and a controller for controlling the supply of heated air in dependence on the detection result. According to the invention, each attachment has at least one magnet at predefined positions at an attachment contact area of the attachment for contacting the body, the at least two attachments having mutually different magnet configurations, and the detector comprises a plurality of Hall effect sensors at predefined positions (?) at a body contact area for contacting a selected one of the attachments.

Abstract: An air outlet grill for use on a hair care device comprises a plurality of concentric and tilted flow guide surfaces (2), a cross section of the flow guide surfaces (2) having a curved shape that diverges in an air flow direction. Preferably, tilt angles between the flow guide surfaces (2) are designed such that an air inlet area of the air outlet grill is larger than an air outlet area of the air outlet grill, so as to increase air speed. Preferably, a middle flow guide surface has a smaller height compared to at least one other flow guide surface, so as to increase an area for air to pass through at a middle part of the air outlet grill. Preferably, a leading edge of at least one of the flow guide surfaces (2) is tangent to the air flow direction while a trailing edge of the flow guide surfaces diverges from the air flow direction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for handling timing constraints or assertions for timing model extraction. One disclosed approach for assertion handling is by automatically preserving the integrity of original assertions by retaining existing pins or creating new internal pins. The assertions are viewed as part of the model, and a set of new assertions are generated automatically as part of the timing model extraction process and can be stored as part of the model. Assertions can be associated with input ports, output ports, internal pins, or hierarchical pins and can even span multiple blocks. This disclosed approach allows for application of assertions associated with timing models when the model is instantiated and detachment of assertions when the model is de-instantiated, and thus removes one of main problems associated with timing models.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for extracting a timing model. One disclosed approach to extract a timing model is by reducing the timing graph. Original timing behavior is preserved in the timing model including arrival times, slew times, timing violations and even latch time borrowing that is independent of clock waveforms. Also, original timing constraints can be captured in the model and be applied automatically when the model is used. Anchor points are automatically identified and retained to obtain a model that is smaller than the original netlist.

Abstract: An adjustable fan assembly has a fan mount with an arcuate portion and a support member. The support member is moveable along the length of the arcuate portion of the fan mount to position the air flow from a fan mounted on the fan mount. The support member may also retract for compact storage.

Abstract: There is provided a mechanism for correcting the printing position of an electronic typewriter comprising a working pin attached to a ribbon bracket, the working pin cooperating with a ribbon cam so as to move the ribbon bracket to a printing or correction position, a coil spring for resiliently supporting the working pin, a printing track groove and correction track groove formed in one side of the ribbon cam and connected to each other, a correction angle formed between the starting points of the printing and correction grooves, and two slopes respectively formed in the starting points of the grooves. The lower ends of a push pawl and pawl locker are connected to carriage body respectively by means of a push pawl coil spring and pawl locker coil spring. A push cam is rotated by the turning force of a motor transmitted via an idle gear and following gear, and the pawl locker contacts the push pawl locker of the push pawl.

Abstract: A pre-mixed adhesive composition comprised of a vinyl acetate polymer emulsion including a cross-linking catalyst and a cross-linking inhibitor providing a good cured water resistant Type II bond and extended shelf life so that the adhesive composition will not gel over an extended period of time and will therefore be usable for direct gluing application to semi-porous and porous substrates.
