Abstract: A system having has a pulse width modulation controller to successively activate each of a plurality of channels each in its own individual channel time slot is described. The system also has a sampling multiplexer configured to successively sample a signal derived from each of the plurality of channels during each individual channel time slot. Each individual time slot has an individual sampling sequence.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a system has a pulse width modulation controller configured to successively activate each of a plurality of channels in its own individual channel time slot. The system also has a sampling multiplexer configured to successively sample a signal derived from each of the plurality of channels during each individual channel time slot. Each individual time slot has an individual sampling sequence.

Abstract: A curler having a body with a longitudinal axis designed to have a section of hair wound about it, and a foot integral with a first axial end of the body and having a surface capable of resting on the scalp. This surface preferably has a surface area greater than the surface area of a transverse section through a part of the body capable of having the section of hair wound about it. The foot includes means capable of retaining a portion of the section of hair that is not wound about the body. In addition, the body has an arm capable of occupying, for example by deformation of the arm and/or the body, a position in which the arm keeps the section of hair wound around part of the body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for mixing at least two components, the device comprising a bowl for receiving the components; and a measuring member including at least one mark useful for measuring purposes, the measuring member being releasably fastenable to the bowl.

Abstract: An advantageous display unit is provided in which one or more columns support plural shelves, at least some of which are mounted in a cantilevered fashion. According to a preferred form, one or more retractable flaps are provided which form sub-shelves to allow, for example, the display of product samples thereon. Preferably, the flaps are not only retractable, but also translatable so that their position can be varied along the length of the shelf. The arrangement allows for variety in the set up of the display unit, for example, by providing the ability to retract and deploy the flaps as needed and to vary the positioning of the flaps along the length of the shelves. Also, the overall set up of the display can be varied. For example, a single column arrangement can be provided with shelves disposed in a cantilever mount therefrom.

Abstract: A device for displaying at least one hair swatch upon a support having a noncylindrical dome shaped portion. At least one hair swatch is held securely on the device, such that it extends over the dome shaped portion and such that it is shaped by the profile of the dome shaped portion. A cover can be provided to conceal one or more locations at which the swatch or swatches are fastened to the support. The cover can have an opening through which the dome and swatch extend. A plurality of the devices can also be arranged within a display having, for example, rows and columns of the display devices.

Abstract: A device includes a support, a lock connected to the support, and a protective element configured to protect the lock. The lock includes a plurality of strands. At least a portion of the protective element is transparent. The protective element is mounted to the support so as to permit movement of the support between a first position and a second position. When the protective element is in the first position, the lock is at least substantially contained inside the protective element and, when the protective element is in the second position, at least a portion of the lock is at least partly accessible to touch.
