Abstract: A learning system includes a non-transitory memory, and one or more hardware processors configured or programmed to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the learning system to perform operations including generating a user knowledge mesh including generating topic nodes each corresponding to a topic included in the user knowledge mesh, and generating concept nodes each corresponding to a key learnable concept, wherein each of the topic nodes is connected to another one of the topic nodes, each of the concept nodes is connected to one of the topic nodes, and each of the key learnable concepts includes one or more interactions related to the key learnable concept.

Abstract: A touch panel system that sanitizes a touch panel surface includes a substrate coupled to the touch panel surface. The system further includes an impedance interface coupled to the touch panel surface and a vibration source coupled to the impedance interface. The vibration source vibrates the substrate to generate pressure waves which destroy contaminants on the touch panel surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a filler material useful for communication cables, such as electrical cables and optical cables. In one embodiment, (a) from about 50 to 95 percent by weight mineral oil; (b) less than about 10 percent by weight block copolymer selected from the group consisting of styrene-ethylene/butylene, styrene-ethylene/propylene, styrene-butadiene-styrene, styrene-isoprene-styrene, styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene, styrene-ethylene/propylene-styrene, and combinations thereof; (c) less than about 35 percent by weight petroleum wax; (d) less than about 20 percent by weight hollow glass microspheres; and (e) less than about 10 percent by weight thixotropic agent selected from the group consisting of clay, colloidal metal oxide, fumed metal oxide, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A cosmetic product is provided packaged in a dispenser with separate first and second storage areas. The first of the areas contains a first cosmetic composition containing a first dermal active agent, preferably selected from keratolytic skin agents. Particularly preferred are alpha- and beta-hydroxy carboxylic acids as first dermal active placed in a composition having a pH from about 1 to about 5.5. The second area contains a second cosmetic composition with a second dermal agent incompatible with the first composition. Particularly preferred second dermal agents are retinoids, vitamins, enzymes and anti-oxidants. Most preferred is retinol. The dispenser allows transfer of the first and second compositions through an exit nozzle in a respective dispensing weight ratio of from about 30:1 to about 2:1.

Abstract: A conditioning shampoo composition for hair and/or skin comprises a stable microemulsion of a high viscosity, slightly cross-linked silicone with a particle size of <0.15 microns, in combination with a deposition polymer and a surfactant.

Abstract: The invention provides an antimicrobial hair treatment composition for topical application to human hair in the treatment of, for example, dandruff, including:(a) at least one surfactant;(b) fine particles of an insoluble particulate metal pyrithione, in which at least about 90% by weight of the particles have a size of 5 microns or less; and(c) a polymeric, water-soluble cationic deposition aid for the fine particles.The compositions have good mechanical stability, optical properties and anti-dandruff ability.

Abstract: A transparent conditioning composition for hair comprises a stable transparent dispersion of: (i) a substantially water-insoluble quaternary ammonium material having two C.sub.12-28 alkyl or alkenyl groups connected to the quaternary ammonium head group via at least one ester linkage, and (ii) a solubilising agent comprising at least one surfactant, preferably cationic surfactants.
