  • Publication number: 20160250119
    Abstract: Method and kit for providing visual effects on fibres, for example human keratin fibres. In the method, fibres are provided coated with a composition. The composition comprises monomer(s) and optionally a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The monomer(s) are capable of forming a polymer after exposure to heat. The monomer(s) are selected from the group consisting of acrylates monomers, methacrylate monomers, acrylamide monomers, methacrylamide monomers, styrene monomers, vinyl pyrolidinone monomers, vinylpyrrolidone monomers, and mixtures thereof. The monomer(s) have a molecular weight in the range from 100 g/mol to 5000 g/mol. The monomer(s) have a functionality of between 1 and 100. The composition has a kinematic viscosity of from 0.5 cSt to 1500 cSt, measured at 23° C. In the method, a forming means is applied onto the fibres. The forming means orders the composition into a pattern and is a conductor. In the method, the temperature of the forming means is raised to a temperature of from 40° C. to 150° C.

  • Patent number: 9404215
    Abstract: A stretch composite having one or more elastomeric members disposed on at least one region of an extensible fibrous substrate to provide stretch properties to a targeted region of the substrate. The composite has been incrementally stretched to at least partially break up the structure of the substrate in order to reduce its resistance to stretch. The stretch composites are useful for disposable and durable articles, such as disposable absorbent articles including diapers, pull-on diapers, training pants, incontinence briefs, catamenial garments, baby bibs, and the like, and durable articles like garments including sportswear, outerwear and the like. Also disclosed are methods of forming such stretch composites.

  • Patent number: 9128113
    Abstract: A vehicle orientation indicator comprises a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to sense a gravitational force component imposed on a vehicle. The controller is configured to determine an orientation of the vehicle with respect to a fixed plane based on the sensed gravitational force component and control an indicator device to provide a representation of the orientation of the vehicle. The controller is further configured to control the indicator device to update the representation of the orientation of the vehicle based on a change in the sensed gravitational force component as sensed by the sensor while a movement condition of the vehicle meets a prescribed condition, and to control the indicator device to refrain from updating the representation of the orientation of the vehicle while the movement condition fails to meet the prescribed condition.
