Abstract: In method the following is performed: receiving input audio content representing mixed audio sources; separating the mixed audio sources, thereby obtaining separated audio source signals and a residual signal; and generating output audio content by mixing the separated audio source signals and the residual signal.

Abstract: It is disclosed a method comprising obtaining a target spectrum, obtaining a set of non-target spectra, the set of non-target spectra comprising one or more non-target spectra, summing the target spectrum and the set of non-target spectra to obtain a mixture spectrum, and training an artificial neural network by using the mixture spectrum as input of the neural network and by using a spectrum which is based on the target spectrum as desired output of the artificial neural network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a device for applying a cosmetic product by transfer onto human keratin materials, comprising the step consisting in printing, using at least one digital printer, onto a surface a cosmetic ink, the ink being in the form of an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion comprising an emulsifier, the ink being liquid at 20° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a makeup device comprising a substrate defining a printing surface having at least one region printed with at least one coloring dye layer to be applied onto human keratinous material. The at least one coloring dye has been deposited, via printing, onto the printing surface by at least one printer, particularly a digital printer; is not covered by an adhesive; and produces after application onto the keratinous material, at least one visible optical effect, namely color and/or sheen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a cosmetic article by printing using a laser printer comprising a heating unit and at least one cosmetic toner, the process comprising the steps consisting in: a) producing, with the printer, printing on a support with the aid of the cosmetic toner, b) heating the support coated with the printing with the aid of the heating unit to an operating temperature greater than or equal to 60° C., the cosmetic toner comprising a weight content of material that is fusible at the operating temperature of less than 10% relative to the total weight of the toner.

Abstract: A device for room geometry analysis comprising: a plurality of segments (101-106) built of acoustic metamaterials, each segment (?, ?) acting as a waveguide with a unique transfer function (B(?, ?, ?)); and a processor configured to calculate delays (?(?, ?)) and respective directions (c(?, ?)) of mirror sound sources (721-725) by decomposing a sound signal (?) obtained from a microphone (110) based on the transfer functions (B(?, ?, ?)) of the segments (101-106) and based on a calibration signal (tsp(t)) emitted by a speaker (420).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an assembly including at least one cosmetic composition for the cosmetic treatment of eyelashes or eyebrows, and a device including a mould having two mould parts to be closed on the eyelashes, with at least one of these parts having a concave groove, which is concave towards the proximal edge of the mould, especially curvilinear, allowing the formation of a strip of composition connecting at least part of the eyelashes along the eyelid or the eyebrow arch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a printer containing at least one cosmetic ink and designed to allow the formation of a coat of cosmetic ink on a non-flat transfer surface defined by a substrate and intended to transfer the coat of ink by contact onto human keratin materials.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a false nail, comprising the following steps: a) producing by additive manufacture, from 3D digital data originating from the acquisition of a relief, especially that of the finger intended to receive the false nail, a mold using a first material, b) depositing onto the mold a layer formed from at least one adhesive composition, c) depositing onto the mold at least one layer of a coating of a second material, different from the first, so as to form the false nail.

Abstract: A process for producing a cosmetic composition that includes step a) inkjet printing onto a basic cosmetic composition, using an inkjet printer, at least one fluid composition in an amount chosen so as to impregnate the basic composition over only a part of its thickness, and step b), after at least one sampling of the impregnated layer, repeating step a) while optionally modifying the fluid composition inkjet-printed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for coloring a base cosmetic composition, which includes producing, on at least one first zone and one second zone, which are different, at the surface of said composition, two printings of at least one ink originating from an inkjet printer, the base composition and the ink being such that the time needed for the complete penetration, at ambient temperature of 20° C. and under atmospheric pressure, into the base composition of an amount of 20 ?l of water deposited at its surface is less than 30 s and such that the time needed for the complete penetration into the base composition of the same amount, 20 ?l, of ink deposited at its surface is less than 15 s.

Abstract: A cosmetic treatment method. The method includes creating, on a region of the keratin materials to be treated, a set of adhesive areas and of non-adhesive areas extending between the adhesive areas. The method includes electrostatically projecting fibres onto the region.

Abstract: A cosmetic treatment method. The method includes applying an adhesive composition to human keratin materials, especially the skin. The method includes bringing fibres borne by an applicator into contact with the adhesive composition present on the keratin materials. The method includes moving the applicator away from the skin, so as to release fibres which adhere to the keratin materials, the holding force for holding the fibres on the applicator being lower than the adhesive force for adhesion of the fibres to the adhesive composition present on the keratin materials.
