Abstract: An antenna-in-package semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip coupled to a planar substrate. An encapsulation body encapsulates the semiconductor chip. The encapsulation body includes a through cavity extending to the planar substrate. A rectilinear wire antenna is mounted within the through cavity and extends, for instance from the planar substrate, along an axis that is transverse to a surface of the planar substrate to which the semiconductor chip is coupled. The rectilinear wire antenna is electrically coupled to the semiconductor chip. An insulating material fills the cavity to encapsulated the rectilinear wire antenna.

Abstract: Disclosed are hair-straightening compositions in liquid form with an aqueous base, or in the form of an emulsion with a fatty phase, comprising glyoxylic acid and levulinic acid.

Abstract: A cleansing composition based on oily substances, particularly for cleansing skin and/or hair and having excellent dermatological properties, is described. The composition is characterized in that it comprises one or more oily substances at a total concentration of between 10% and 90% by weight relative to the composition and one or more surfactants selected from the N-acylates of amino-acids, proteins, and peptides, in acid or neutralized form, at a total concentration within the range of between 2% and 80% by weight relative to the composition, and in that it is substantially anhydrous or has a water content no greater than 10% by weight.

Abstract: An exercise comprising a mat and a plurality of supports strategically positioned for specific body parts. The supports may be integrally formed into the mat or removable. The exercise mat may further comprise a cover. The cover may have pockets or holes to receive the supports. In some embodiments, the cover and/or the top surface of the mat may comprise protuberances to reduce slippage. The bottom of the mat or the cover may be made from non-slip material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a concentrated base, particularly for detergent products and products for personal care and hygiene, comprising a combination of at least three surfactants selected from the group consisting of acylmethyltaurates, alkylamidopropylbetaines, alkyl amphoacetates, alkyl amphodiacetates, alkylsulphoacetates, acyl sarcosinates, acyl lactylates and acyl glutamates. The viscosity of the concentrated base of the invention can advantageously be adjusted by simple dilution with water to the concentration of use and/or by adding small amounts of electrolytes. Detergent products and products for personal care and hygiene comprising the concentrated base of the invention are also described.

Abstract: The invention describes detergent or cosmetic compositions provided with hydrating and preserving properties and simultaneously sebum regulating, anti-dandruff, and/or anti-odour properties. These compositions include a capryloyl glutamate salt and/or capryloyl hydrolysate of wheat and/or rice protein. Since the salt utilised is able also to provide a self-preservative and hydrating effect the compositions of the invention do not need any addition of further self-preservative or hydrating agents or, at most, contain concentrations thereof which are not efficacious per se.

Abstract: The invention describes detergent or cosmetic compositions having hydrating and preservative properties and simultaneously anti-dandruff and/or anti-odor properties. These compositions comprise a salt of undecylenoil glutamate and/or undecylenoil hydrolyzate of wheat and/or rice proteins. Since such salts are able to perform also a preservative and hydrating effect the compositions of the invention do no need the addition of further preservative or hydrating agents or, at most, contain concentrations thereof which are not efficacious per se.

Abstract: Process for preparing esters of alkanoic acids via rearrangement of alpha-haloketals in the presence of a Lewis acid.The rection is preferably carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts of a Lewis acid and of a diluent at a temperature in the range from about 0.degree. to the reflux temperature of diluent.The esters thus obtained are useful as intermediate products for preparing drugs.The process involves the preparation of new alpha-haloketals.

Abstract: Process for preparing alkanoic acid or their esters by rearrangement of alpha-halo-ketones in protic medium and in the presence of a non-noble metal salt.The protic medium is preferably an aliphatic alcohol having low molecular weight or water and the reaction is carried out at a temperature from 0.degree. C. to the boiling-point of the diluent or of the diluents mixture.
