  • Patent number: 6404703
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for distance measurement is disclosed in which first and second signals having different propagation speeds are transmitted between a transmitter (2) at a first location and a receiver (3) at a second location. The distance between the first and second locations is determined from the difference in propagation time between the first and second signals.

  • Patent number: 6372202
    Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions, in particular make-up compositions, comprising an orange pigment with an intense and saturated color which does not generate free radicals. This pigment is a diketodiarylpyrrolopyrrole derivative of formula: in which A and B are identical or different aryl radicals and DPP is a 1,4-diketo-3,6-diarylpyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrolidyl radical, the diaryldiketopyrrolopyrrole derivative of formula (I) being substituted by 0 to 6 mol of —SO3M per mole, M being hydrogen or a metal or ammonium cation.

  • Patent number: 6333053
    Abstract: Use of a specific particulate phase in a cosmetic composition, in particular a make-up composition, and cosmetic composition comprising such a particulate phase. Use of a particulate phase comprising particles with mean dimensions ranging from 5 to 100 microns and preferably from 20 to 50 microns and comprising at least two consecutive faces, the normals of which at the median point form, between one another, an angle at least equal to 90°, in a cosmetic composition, in particular a make-up composition, for the purpose of limiting, decreasing or eliminating the blemishes of keratinous substances and/or of modifying the perception of the volume of some regions of the said substances. Cosmetic composition, in particular in make-up composition, such as a foundation, comprising such a particulate phase.

  • Patent number: 6242106
    Abstract: A fine wire made of an alloy of gold which contains 0.6 to 2 weight % of nickel, or an alloy of gold which contains 0.1 to 2 weight % of nickel, 0.0001 to 0.1 weight % of alkaline earth metal and/or rare earth metal, and optionally 0.1 to 1.0 weight % of platinum and/or palladium . The fine wire is distinguished by a favorable electrical conductivity and a good ratio of strength to elongation. The fine wire is suitable both for wire bonding of semiconductor devices and for producing the ball bumps of flip-chips.

  • Patent number: 6042842
    Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions, in particular make-up cosmetic compositions, comprising a novel red pigment with an intense and saturated color which does not generate free radicals. This novel pigment is a diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) of formula: ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkyl radical, a C.sub.3 to C.sub.12 alkenyl radical, a C.sub.2 to C.sub.5 alkoxycarbonyl radical or a phenyl radical which is optionally substituted by a halogen and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkyl radical, a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkoxy radical, a halo radical or a phenyl radical, or a --SO.sub.3 M group with M being a hydrogen atom, a metal atom or an ammonium group, it being possible for the alkyl, alkenyl and alkoxy radicals to be linear or branched.

  • Patent number: 5897016
    Abstract: A keg (10) for a pressurized fluid is formed of a main body part (11), to respective open ends of which are secured upper and lower ends parts (14, 12), each of the three parts being an injection moulding of thermoplastics material and connected together by welding. Around an internal surface of the main body part (11) is an integral continuous planar flange (21) which serves to resits outwards pressure on the body when the keg is pressurized, in use, the flange defining a large central opening (22) in the interior of the keg. Ribs (25) are formed integrally with the internal body surface and flange, and extend around the flange between respective pairs of first openings (23) through the flange, smaller second openings (24) being aligned with, and disposed at the inner end of the respective ribs.
