Abstract: A system for the application of mascara. The system has a container and an applicator wand. The applicator wand has a handle that extends along a central axis. A wand shaft extends from the handle and hold a brush head. The brush head includes a brush held in an articulable mount. The articulable mount orients the brush in a position where the central axis of the handle intersects the center line of the brush at a point between the ends of the brush. The brush is biased to a first angle of inclination. The articulable mount provides a hinge joint between the brush and the wand shaft. The hinge joint enables the brush to temporarily rotate about the hinge joint away from its first angle of inclination and into a second angle of inclination to pass into or out of the access opening of the container.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for receiving, at a first computing device, an application programming interface (API) request from a second computing device, wherein the API request includes at least a first request field and a second request field, evaluating at least the first request field to determine a first complexity measure, assigning a first field score to at least the first request field based on the first complexity measure, evaluating at least the second request field to determine a second complexity measure, assigning a second field score to at least the second request field based on the second complexity measure, and combining the first field score and the second field score to generate a total field score for the API request for use in an API request complexity model for constraining a processing of the received API request from the second computing device.

Abstract: A trusted content usage monitor for monitoring content usage is provided. A unique identifier generation unit generates a unique identifier indicative of content being rendered and a packet generator generates a trusted packet comprising the unique identifier. The trusted packet is trust signed by the trusted content usage monitor, so that it can be trusted by its recipient. The trusted content usage monitor has at least one mode of operation in which content rendering cannot be decoupled from operation of the unique identifier generation unit, so that generated packets can be trusted as truly indicative of content usage.

Abstract: A system for the application of mascara to both eyes using the dominant hand. The system has a container and an applicator. The applicator is used to transfer mascara from the container to the eyes. The applicator has a handle, a brush head and a rod. The handle progresses along an imaginary midline and supports the brush head in line with, or parallel to, the midline. The rod has at least one offset section. The rod is long enough to enable a person to position the brush head in front of the left eye from the right side of the head, or in front of the right eye from the left side of the head. The offset section of the rod prevents the applicator from blocking the vision from a near eye when applying mascara across the face to a far eye.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates connectivity within a peer-to-peer networking environment. A client can transmit a request to connect with a host for peer-to-peer networking. A server can generate a list that includes at least one host that matches the request from the client. A predictor engine can reduce the list by at least one matched host based upon a predictor, wherein the predictor is at least one of an Internet Protocol history predictor, a prefix history predictor, or a geography predictor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for substantially contemporaneously presenting a distributed simulation at multiple computing devices. A first computing device controls an object in the simulation. A second computing device generates a visual representation of the object associated with a visual status. The second computing device generates a predicted status and receives an update including new status from the first computing device. A portion of the predicted status is set equal to a portion of the new status, and a discrepancy between the predicted and visual statuses is determined. When the discrepancy is greater than a first threshold, at least one velocity of the predicted status may be modified. When the discrepancy is greater than a second threshold, the visual status is modified based at least in part on the predicted status. A new visual representation of the object is rendered based at least in part on the visual status, and displayed.
