Publication number: 20240033167Abstract: A massage roller is disclosed that provides a pair of massage roller assemblies each having at least one roller element in opposed spaced relationship to allow a massageable portion of a user's body to be positioned between the roller elements for a rolling massage effect. The pair of massage roller assemblies may also be detached from the massage roller such that each massage roller assembly independently can be utilized for massaging a massageable portion of a user's body.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Reid Smith Newnam, Chris Owens, Kit Morris

Patent number: 11857662Abstract: A hair coloring composition that includes about 5 to 25 wt. % of a first monosaccharide having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, up to about 10 wt. % of a second monosaccharide having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, about 0.1 to 5 wt. % of a surfactant, and about 0.1 to 5 wt. % of a delivery agent, each based on a total weight of the hair coloring composition. A method for coloring hair, that involves applying the hair coloring composition onto the hair, and optionally applying heat to the hair at a dyeing temperature of 30 to 205° C.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: KAO USA INC.Inventors: Adam Schrott, Chris Owens, Vincent Fischer

Patent number: 11812728Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for interactive fetching for one or more participants, such as pets. In one implementation, a projectile, such as a ball, is received in a receiver and transported through an opening into a feeder of a randomizer. One of a plurality of chutes is randomly selected using gravity, and the projectile is transported from the feeder into the selected chute. The chute generates a smooth roll along a ramp to a port, from which the projectile is ejected along an ejection path for the participant to retrieve.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2018Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: iFetch, LLCInventors: Dennis W. Hamill, Deborah Lynn Hamill, Kit Morris, John Vanderveen, Smith Newnam, Chris Owens

Publication number: 20220350814Abstract: Data from multiple data sources, and in multiple different formats, can be processed accurately and automatically using an intelligent data extraction system. Input data can be processed using a first neural network to infer a classification. Based at least in part upon this classification, a processing workflow can be generated that includes a number of different analytical tools (such as engines, tools, and services) that are able to accurately identify and extract different types of data. Candidate results from these tools can include values for determined attributes, along with associated confidences in those values. An intelligent selection engine, which may also include a neural network, can analyze these values and confidences to select the appropriate value(s) for each of these attributes from the input data. The selected and merged data may be stored using a determined description language, in order to provide for consistent output and presentation of the extracted data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2021Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Chris Owen, Richard Scheffrin, Kevin Walkup

Patent number: 10463589Abstract: A hair dye composition containing components (A) to (C), and having a mass ratio of component (B) to component (C), (B)/(C), of 0.1 to 30, and a pH (25° C.) of 8.5 to 12. (A): a dye selected from (A-1), (A-2) and (A-3). (B): a cationic polymer having a charge density of 3.0 meq/g or higher. (C): an anionic polysaccharide derivative where part of hydrogen atoms of hydroxy groups of a polysaccharide compound having a constitutional unit of formula (1) is substituted by —(CH2)mCOO? (m is an integer of 1 to 5); an average degree of substitution per the constitutional unit thereby is 0.5 to 2.0; and part of hydrogen atoms of remaining hydroxy groups is optionally substituted by a C1-40 alkyl group and/or alkylene group, where R is a C2-4 alkylene group, and n is the number that makes an average addition molar number of RO per the constitutional unit 0 to 10.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: KAO CORPORATIONInventors: Chris Owens, Takashi Kanda, Masayoshi Nojiri
