Abstract: During operation of a machine, an understanding of terrain features is critical. Accordingly, disclosed embodiments augment a video stream, captured by a camera mounted on the machine, with terrain information. In particular, an overlay is generated on at least one image frame. The overlay, which may comprise one or more semi-transparent bands, may cyclically recede from a foreground to a background of the image frame(s), cyclically advance from a background to a foreground of the image frame(s), or cyclically move horizontally across the image frame(s). The overlay may be colorized to illustrate the height of the terrain underneath the overlay.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to thin film coating processes, compositions so formed and intermediates used and formed therein using multiple coating stations and multiple drying stations in the thin film coating processes.

Abstract: A method including passing a substrate by at least one slot die in at least a first direction and applying at least one coating to the substrate with the slot die, where the slot die is moved in a direction transverse to the at least first direction.

Abstract: A method of forming a thin film strip and thin film strips formed thereby where the method comprises coating a liner substrate with a wet slurry of film forming ingredients and other components and drying the wet slurry in a drying apparatus to form a film, measuring the moisture content of the film either during of upon exit from the drying apparatus, and storing the film in a minimal moisture loss environment during a curing process.

Abstract: A method of forming a thin film strip. The method comprises coating a liner substrate with a wet slurry of film forming ingredients and drying the wet slurry in a drying oven to form a film. A moisture content of the film is measured as the film exits the drying oven and the film is rewound on itself. The rewound film is then stored in a minimal moisture loss environment during a curing process.

Abstract: Cosmetic and skin care products are dispersed or encapsulated within a polymer matrix to provide a convenient means of storing and transporting the cosmetic or skin care product prior to use. Prior to use the polymer matrix is solubilized or melted to release the cosmetic or skin care product to the user's skin.

Abstract: A therapeutic skin patch for treatment of dry skin, includes a porous sheet-like body of inactive material, certain pores of said body being impregnated with solidified polyvinyl alcohol which contains a first combination of skin nutrients, and polyvinyl alcohol which occupies the pores of another portion of the body containing a second combination of skin nutrients, which second combination of skin nutrients is different from the first combination of skin nutrients. The polyvinyl alcohol which is contained in the pores of the one portion of the sheet-like body is characterized by a first color, and the polyvinyl alcohol which is contained in the pores of the other portion of the body is characterized by a second color that is different from the first color.

Abstract: A conditioning article that has a first substrate coated on one side with a cosmetic formulation and a second substrate coated on one side with a cosmetic formulation. The first and second substrates are joined together along corresponding regions of each of the first and second substrates with the coated sides of each substrate facing each other. A cavity is formed between the first and second substrates into which a hand or other body part can be inserted when used. An exterior portion of the article remains substantially dry when the cosmetic formulation in the interior portion of the article is activated by a user for use.

Abstract: A cleansing article comprising a first substrate coated with at least one cosmetic formulation, and a second substrate coated with at least one cosmetic formulation. The first and second substrates are adapted to be joined together along corresponding regions of each of the first and second substrates to form a cavity between the first and second substrates. The cavity has an opening into which a band can be inserted and the resulting article is substantially dry and adapted to be wetted for use.

Abstract: A therapeutic applique for treatment of dry hands, either as a patch, face mask, or glove. The applique has the form of a porous, flexible sheet that is applied to the skin, and the sheet has a water-activatable material carried on its surface and also permeating its pores. The water-activated material, when in a dry, inactive state, preferably has a moisture content of less than 10% by weight, of the sheet, and is soluble in water. The arrangement is such that when the applique is applied to the skin, along with water, the applique's water-soluble component partially disassociates from it and leaches onto the skin, either while the sheet is in place on the skin or prior to the sheet being placed on the skin. In addition, with time the outermost layer of the water-soluble component undergoes evaporation, causing it to partially re-solidify, thereby forming an occlusive outer barrier which tends to retain the remaining water-soluble components between itself and the skin.
