Abstract: The presently claimed invention relates to a cosmetic composition for the semi-permanent deformation of keratin fibres, a method and a use thereof. The presently claimed invention provides a superior semi-permanent shaping performance, from eliminating hair frizz to straightening curls and waves, without compromising hair shine, hair manageability and hair conditioning; without imparting an unpleasant stinging and itching sensation; and without damaging hair. The presently claimed invention also generates a minimal amount fume, when hair are flat-ironed.

Abstract: A method for producing a three-dimensional object by selective solidification of a build material includes irradiating a surface of a mask with at least one radiation source. The mask is disposed at a distance from a build plane and an optical imaging system is used to produce a reproduction of the mask on the build plane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a toner composition for forming a masking pattern for use e.g. in connection with a method of building up a three-dimensional body from a large number of mutually connected layers of powder particles that are bonded to each other using radiant heat. The toner composition consists of powder particles that arc able to withstand a temperature of at least 200° C. without sticking together. It also relates to a developer that comprises the toner composition and carrier particles and a method in connection with the production of a volume body by using a toner composition or a developer according to the invention.

Abstract: A production of a cast workpiece having increased wear protection in regions, wherein ceramic particles having an average grain size of between 0.2 and 4 mm are mixed with at least one binding agent. Said mixture is applied to a heat-resistant fiber mat at a particular layer thickness, whereby a two-layer structure arises. After hardening of the binding agent, an insert (9) is constructed from the two-layer structure, the shape thereof corresponding to the shape of a surface region of the cast workpiece to be protected. The insert (9) is applied in the casting cavity (8) at the location corresponding to the surface region of the cast workpiece to be protected. The casting cavity (8) is finally filled with casting material, wherein the ceramic particles in the insert (9) are embedded in the casting material.

Abstract: An acoustic shock protection method and device are provided. A pattern analysis-based approach is taken to an input signal to perform feature extraction. A parameter space is identified, which is corresponding to, the signal space of the input signal. A rule-based decision approach is taken to the parameter space to detect an acoustic shock event. The device may be advantageously implemented using a weighted overlap-add approach to provide low group delay, high-fidelity and a high degree of protection from acoustic shock events.

Abstract: An adaptive signal processing system for improving a quality of a signal. The system includes an analysis filterbank for transforming a primary information signal in time domain into oversampled sub-band primary signals in frequency domain and an analysis filterbank for transforming a reference signal in time domain into oversampled sub-band reference signals. Sub-band processing circuits process the signals output from the filterbanks to improve a quality of an output signal. A synthesis filterbank can combine the outputs of the sub-band processing circuits to generate the output signal.
