Abstract: Methods and systems for encoding of integers are discussed. For example, various methods and systems may utilize Huffman coding, Tunstall coding, Arithmetic Coding, LZ77 coding, LZ78 coding, LW coding, or Shannon Fano Elias coding to encode the integers.

Abstract: A cosmetic applicator for applying a cosmetic or care product includes a stem having a vertical axis and a roller rotatably and pivotably connected to the bottom end of the stem such that the roller pivots around the vertical axis and rotates around a horizontal axis transverse to the vertical axis.

Abstract: A cosmetic container may include a base defining a well and having a bottom. The cosmetic container may include a sifter having a sifter conical section fixedly attached to a collar. The collar may be coupled to the base, thereby coupling the sifter to the base. The cosmetic container may include a cap for coupling to the sifter. The cap, sifter, and collar may be rotatable relative to the base to provide an open or a closed configuration.

Abstract: A cosmetic container may include a base having a bottom with a hemispherical projection therefrom. The cosmetic container may include a lid for coupling to the base, an inner sifter with an inner sifter conical section including a plurality of apertures, and an outer sifter with an outer sifter conical section including a plurality of apertures. The outer sifter may be rotatable relative to the inner sifter to provide an open or a closed configuration.

Abstract: Devices for dispensing and applying a cosmetic product include a container for holding a volume of cosmetic product and a cosmetic dispensing system. The container has a closed end at a lower end of the device and an open end facing an upper end of the device. The cosmetic dispensing system is coupled to the open end of the container and includes a tip having an outlet for dispensing cosmetic product, and an actuator configured to be manually depressed to deliver a portion of the volume of cosmetic product to the outlet. The actuator includes finger guides on opposite sides of the actuator, the finger guides disposed below the tip and providing opposing surfaces for depressing the actuator, moving the actuator towards the lower end of the device.

Abstract: A cosmetic container includes a base, a lid, and a cover. The base defines at least one well for holding a cosmetic, and a base cavity on an opposite surface as the well, and the lid defines a lid cavity. The cover couples the lid to the base, the cover includes a top portion disposed within the lid cavity and a bottom portion disposed within the base cavity. The cover forms a hinge allowing the lid to rotate relative to the base from a closed position in which the first surface of the lid is disposed over the well in the base, to an open position in which the well is exposed. The cover has a flexibility different from the base and lid.

Abstract: A cosmetic packaging device with aligning cap includes connection structures and/or a collar that facilitate easy alignment of the cap/applicator to the cosmetics packaging in order to achieve a desirable appearance in an easy manner to the user. Ramped edges on one or both of the collar on a bottle and/or a connecting structure of an applicator are designed to guide a tab into a slot as the applicator and cap are replaced on the cosmetics packaging, which may contain a cosmetic product such as a mascara, lip gloss or various other products.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides diaper care system and method. In this method, diaper sensors senses and transmits usage parameters of diapers to a server; when it is determined that one of the diapers needs to be replaced, the server monitors the change in the usage parameter of the corresponding diaper sensor, and determines whether this diaper which needs to be replaced has been replaced or not.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides diaper ordering system and method. In this method, a mobile device executes a mobile app to receive a user setting including a preset diaper quantity; a diaper sensor senses a usage parameter of a diaper, and the mobile device determines whether the diaper is needed to be replaced; if so, the mobile device is based on the preset diaper quantity to calculate a remaining diaper quantity. When the remaining diaper quantity is less than a threshold amount, the mobile app performs a diaper ordering process.

Abstract: A product dispenser is provided that includes a container within a shell, and a pump and insert for dispensing the product. A spring biases the container and pump away from the tip of the shell. The bottom of the container is pushed up relative to the shell to activate the pump, thereby dispensing the product.

Abstract: A cosmetic application device includes a housing for containing a product and an applicator tip having an application surface with an orifice for delivering the product from the housing. The applicator tip includes a brush disposed on a side surface of the applicator tip, spaced apart from the orifice. Various forms for the brush are disclosed including a thermoplastic elastomer and/or variously configured bristles.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a cosmetic product may include a container configured to hold a volume of cosmetic product, the container having a closed lower end and an open upper end, a pump assembly disposed at least partially within the open upper end of the container, and a tip connected to the pump assembly, the tip having an outlet for dispensing the cosmetic product. The pump assembly and tip may be configured such that manually tilting the tip actuates the pump assembly to deliver a portion of the volume of cosmetic product to the outlet.
