Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion having a viscosity of between 15,000 cP (15 Pa-s) and 45,000 cP (45 Pa-s) at 23° C., having a pH of between 2 and 6 and comprising: (i) at least 1.6 wt. % of at least one cross-linked anionic polyelectrolyte resulting from the polymerisation of partially or completely salified 2-methyl 2-[(1-oxo 2-propenyl)amino]1-propane sulfonic acid, with at least one neutral monomer chosen from the N,N-dialkyl acrylamides, wherein each of the alkyl groups comprises between one and four carbon atoms, and at least one monomer of formula (B): wherein R represents a linear or branched alkyl radical comprising eight to twenty carbon atoms and n represents a number greater than or equal to one and less than or equal to twenty, in the presence of at least one cross-linking agent; (ii) at least 4 wt. % of at least one polysorbate; (iii) at least 0.1 wt. % of at least one polysaccharide gum; and (iv) between 6 wt. % and 30 wt.

Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided an aqueous concentrated cosmetic composition comprising at least 20% water, at least 4.5% by weight of the composition of humectant, at least 8% of the composition of a peptide and high levels of a skin benefit active(s).

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a composition comprising: 0.1 to 3 wt % (or 0.5 to 2.5 wt %) of a beta hydroxy acid, 0.05 to 3 wt % (or 0.09 to 2.5 wt %) of an O-substituted ascorbic acid or a derivative thereof, and a cosmetically acceptable medium comprising an aqueous phase, wherein a beta hydroxy acid is present at a higher concentration than O-substituted ascorbic acid or a derivative thereof. The disclosed technology further relates to the use and method of improving skin condition.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a method of decreasing or preventing signs of ageing of décolleté skin and optionally the face and/or neck skin comprising topically applying to the skin a composition comprising a cosmetically acceptable medium, a vitamin C, or derivative thereof, and compound having two or more hydroxyl groups, wherein the compound has a molar mass of at least 150 g/mol and increases transglutaminase K expression in epidermal keratinocytes.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a composition comprising an O-substituted ascorbic acid or derivative thereof; and gluconolactone, wherein the composition comprises an aqueous phase present at up to 95 wt % of the composition. The disclosed technology further relates to the use and method of improving skin condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods for personalized video display include providing an interface on the touch device, maintaining a layout template that includes a primary video display window and a user selectable information window, and sending the layout template to the television. The television can display the template layout and embedded content. Additionally, the touch device can detect gestures from a user and communicate instructions to the television based on the gesture input.

Abstract: Systems and methods for personalized video display include providing a graphical user interface on a touch device, including a video display window as part of the graphical user interface, and sending information representing the graphical user interface to a television. Additionally, the touch device can communicate messages to a remote platform, and the messages can indicate specific fragment locations within a given selection of media being delivered to the touch device as an adaptive bitrate stream.

Abstract: A wireless annunciator for an electrical generator displays data regarding operation of the electrical generator to provide feedback to a remote observer regarding performance of the electrical generator in meeting the demands placed thereon. The wireless annunciator wirelessly receives transmissions from one or more wireless modules and displays information based on the data contained in the transmissions. The wireless modules may be associated with sensors, for example, that measure various performance parameters of the electrical generator, such as current draw, fuel level, fuel pressure, and the like. A load management controller can communicate with one or more load-side modules, either wirelessly or across wired links, to control operation of one or more loads to avoid overloading of the electrical generator.

Abstract: A load control module is provided for use with a transfer switch apparatus that controls the delivery of standby electrical power to a load during utility power interruption. The load control module selectively brings loads online to receive standby electrical power to prevent overloading of the electric generator that is providing the standby electrical power. The frequency of the electrical power is also monitored and if a low frequency condition is detected, loads are taken offline (shed). A method to flag those loads that induce an overload condition is also provided.
