Patent number: 9907734Abstract: A micro electromechanical ink jet printing system that has a cartridge having a body that defines a core, and a die that contains one or more nozzles. There is a treatment composition contained within the cartridge core. The system further includes a CPU that is programmable and can control the application of the treatment composition from within the cartridge core, through the one or more nozzles to human skin. Typically, the treatment composition will contain a skin treatment ingredient selected from the group consisting of particles, vitamins, yeast and yeast extracts, skin care actives, dyes, colorants and mixtures thereof. There may optionally be provided a bladder or foam block disposed within the cartridge core for suspending and regulating the flow of the treatment composition.

Further, particles in a concentration of from about 1.0% to about 20.0%, by weight; one or more humectants in a concentration of from about 2.0% to about 20.0%, by weight; and, water are provided. The treatment compositions of this invention are used in an applicator having an applicator head having one or more applicator nozzles which may be in a array. The apparatus further has a reservoir containing the treatment composition, a sensor, and a CPU. The sensor takes an image of at least 10 ?m2 of skin, the CPU analyzes the image to calculate one or more localized L values of individual pixels or group of pixels of the skin. Then the CPU compares the local L value to a predetermined background L value to identify skin deviations.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2015Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: Thomas Elliot RABE, Grant Edward Anders STRIEMER, Janette Villalobos LINGOES, Dennis Eugene KUHLMAN
