Abstract: The present technology is related to employing a template/macro-based order entry system. An initial order data message contains a macro that establishes the initial parameters for an order and a unique ID is associated with the template. Subsequent, and potentially smaller sized data messages contain the unique ID as well as relevant order details for placing an order. Of course, the technology described herein envisions a much broader concept of reducing message sizes to help improve overall latency and is not limited to order entry.

Abstract: While in a first mode, a smartwatch can power down a majority of the smartwatch components to save power. In order to change modes, the watch may use a two-step method. The method for changing modes of the smartwatch includes detecting a movement of the smartwatch with a first sensor, such as an accelerometer, located in the smartwatch based on the movement indicating a command request. After the movement is detected, the smartwatch may power on a second sensor located in the smartwatch to detect a second event, such as an audio signal, with the second sensor. Finally, if the second sensor indicates a command request, then the method includes changing the mode the smartwatch. Based on either input provided to the smartwatch or a lack of input, the smartwatch can adapt a threshold at which the movement would trigger a command request.

Abstract: Quantum source coding apparatus for communication of quantum information comprising: a quantum state preparation device for converting input messages into block messages; a coding device for producing coded signals by compressing the block messages prepared by the quantum state preparation device; and an output device for outputting the coded signals produced by the coding device.

Abstract: A lipstick article is provided which houses a lipstick with a water content of from 0.5 to 30% by weight. The lipstick is packaged in a casing including a base, an elongated cylindrical inner body received in the base and containing the lipstick, a device for elevating-retracting the lipstick from within the inner body, a hollow elongated cap fitting over the inner body, and a hollow elongated plug sleeve inserted within the cap and formed of a material more flexible than a material forming the cap, the plug sleeve sealingly contacting an outer wall of the inner body to prevent evaporation of water from the lipstick.

Abstract: A cosmetic product is provided that includes a cosmetic composition and a container for storing same. The container has a first and second section. Each section is defined by a hemispheroidal chamber having an open mouth with a circumferential edge therearound and a flange projecting outwardly therefrom. The first section contains the cosmetic composition and is sealed by a web completely covering the mouth as well as the flange. On the flange of the second section is a lip with a clamping device for releasably engaging the first section flange thereby releasably joining first and second sections to one another.

Abstract: A comb for precision cutting of hair to specific length. The comb comprises a standard main body portion with parallel teeth, extending from a base, and thickened end sections which laterally enclose the teeth. Extending from one of the end sections is a handle member, offset from the plane of the teeth by a sufficient distance such that fingers, which grip the handle member, are kept from contacting the scalp. The offset handle keeps the user's fingers off the scalp, thereby preventing inadvertent end tipping of the comb. The handle member is also laterally offset to the rear of the comb for enhanced ergonomic handling, to permit better visibility of the hair being cut and to remove the fingers out of line with the clippers or scissors. The main body portion further comprises pedestal stand-off elements such as flat sided protrusions integrated with the sides of the teeth and/or end sections which are placed directly on a scalp.
