Patent number: 9681733Abstract: Aqueous liquid compositions are provided, which comprise nonionic polymers, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), or combinations thereof, and which are free of or substantially free of salt-forming groups. The aqueous liquids form solid, flexible films after direct application to skin, and the films may be peeled from the skin to remove adhered keratotic plugs from pores of the skin. The compositions are easily applied to skin, without dripping, with fingers, a brush, or other applicators.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Avon Products, Inc.Inventors: Xiaolan Wei, Santiago Uribe, Desiree Mazich, Eileen A. Higgins

Patent number: 8859132Abstract: A stacked energy storage device (ESD) has at least two cell segments arranged in a stack. Each cell segment may have a first electrode unit having a first active material electrode, a second electrode unit having a second active material electrode, and an electrolyte layer between the active material electrodes. Variable volume containment may be used to control the inter-electrode spacing within each cell segment. In some embodiments, one or more dynamic flexible gaskets may be included in each cell segment to seal the electrolyte within the cell segment and to deform in preferred directions. In some embodiments, hard stops may set the inter-electrode spacing of the ESD.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2010Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: G4 Synergetics, Inc.Inventors: Jon Kenneth West, Julius Regalado, Anthony George, Xin Zhou, Nelson Citta, Myles Citta, Allen Michael, Kenneth Cherisol, Daniel J. West, Barbara Patterson, Eileen Higgins

Patent number: 8448650Abstract: An applicator is provided for applying a composition to a user's eyelashes. The applicator includes an applicator element having a large section, a medium section, and a small section, which are adapted to cover the outer, middle, and inner portions of a user's eyelashes, respectively, with a composition (e.g., mascara). The three sections of the applicator element include bristles sized and spaced in such a way as to facilitate even application of the composition without clumping.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2011Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Avon Products, Inc.Inventor: Eileen A. Higgins

Publication number: 20100310923Abstract: A bi-polar battery has a positive electrode unit, a negative electrode unit, at least one bi-polar electrode unit stacked therebetween, an electrolyte layer separating each adjacent electrode unit, and a gasket positioned about each electrolyte layer for creating a seal about the electrolyte layer in conjunction with the electrode units adjacent thereto. The bi-polar battery also includes a wrapper for maintaining the seals created by the gaskets.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2010Publication date: December 9, 2010Applicant: G4 SYNERGETICS, INC.Inventors: Randy Ogg, Martin Patrick Higgins, Steven J.

Publication number: 20100203384Abstract: A stacked energy storage device (ESD) has at least two conductive substrates arranged in a stack. Each cell segment may have a first electrode unit having a first active material electrode, a second electrode unit having a second active material electrode, and an electrolyte layer between the active material electrodes. Each active material electrode may have a plurality of folded sections and planar sections to increase the ESD capacity, for example, by increasing number of interfaces within each cell segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2010Publication date: August 12, 2010Applicant: G4 Synergetics, Inc.Inventors: Jon Kenneth West, Martin Patrick Higgins, Eileen Higgins, Julius Regalado, Anthony George, Xin Zhou, Nelson Citta, Myles Citta, Allen Michael, Kenneth Cherisol, Daniel J.
