Abstract: A method and system for increasing dynamic digitized wavefront resolution, i.e., the density of output beamlets, can include receiving a single collimated source light beam and producing multiple output beamlets spatially offset when out-coupled from a waveguide. The multiple output beamlets can be obtained by offsetting and replicating a collimated source light beam. Alternatively, the multiple output beamlets can be obtained by using a collimated incoming source light beam having multiple input beams with different wavelengths in the vicinity of the nominal wavelength of a particular color. The collimated incoming source light beam can be in-coupled into the eyepiece designed for the nominal wavelength. The input beams with multiple wavelengths take different paths when they undergo total internal reflection in the waveguide, which produces multiple output beamlets.

Abstract: A method of instantly reducing the appearance of wrinkles and skin imperfections while smoothing the skin, which comprises applying a cosmetic composition comprising a fractal particle based gel.

Abstract: A cosmetic powder composition is provided for retarding moisture loss from skin to which the powder is applied. The cosmetic powder composition has a moisturizer coated filler powder and a time release moisturizing agent. The invention also provides a method for preparing such a cosmetic powder composition that retards moisture loss when applied to the skin and for the use of such cosmetic powder composition to inhibit moisture loss when applied to the skin.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of imparting a cosmetic or therapeutic benefit to a topical surface. The method has the steps of a) providing a polymer powder having a plurality of substantially nonporous polymer particles with a number average particles size of about 0.1 to about 0.5 microns in diameter; b) providing a liquid cosmetic or therapeutic composition in the form selected from the group consisting of a solution, dispersion, suspension, and an emulsion in which the liquid composition has one or more cosmetic or therapeutic actives therein and is metastable; c) contacting the polymer powder with the liquid composition so that the liquid composition is entrained so as to form an impregnated powder; and d) rubbing the impregnated powder on the topical surface such that at least a substantial portion of the liquid composition is released from the impregnated powder at the topical surface. There are other methods and processes disclosed.
