Abstract: Described herein are technologies related to an in-band full-duplex wireless communication operation. More particularly, the technologies utilize a complementary pair of antennas for signal transmission and reception arranged in a new manner to be both compact (relatively to conventional approaches) and provide an extremely high (e.g., 60 dB or more) isolation.

Abstract: A cushioning assembly includes a vehicle that has at least two doors. A first shield apparatus and a second shield apparatus are each coupled to the vehicle. The first shield apparatus and the second shield apparatus are positionable to cover the doors. The first shield apparatus and the second shield apparatus shield the doors from impact damage. A pump is coupled to the vehicle. The pump is in fluid communication with the first shield apparatus and the second shield apparatus. The pump selectively inflates and deflates the first shield apparatus and the second shield apparatus. A control is provided for selectively actuating and de-actuating the pump.

Abstract: In a wig clip having comb teeth movable in and out of contact with an elongated part of a wig clip frame, each of the comb teeth is fitted with an elastomeric sleeve. The elastomeric sleeves on the comb teeth cooperate with an elastomeric sleeve of the elongated frame part to grip a user's natural hair frictionally and thereby resist slippage of the wig clip relative to the user's natural hair and hold a wig base to which the wig clip is attached firmly in place on the user's head.

Abstract: A wig base comprises a sheet of material having a dome shape with a peak a border defining a bottom opening and an anterior portion comprising net material. A reinforcement, for a gap that can be formed in a selected area of the net material adjacent the bottom opening, is provided by one of a plurality of strips of fabric each of which has a pair of opposite ends spaced from each other and located adjacent the border of the sheet, and a U-shaped intermediate portion connecting one of the ends to the other and extending from the border toward the peak. A wearer's natural hair can be passed through a gap and blended with hair woven to the net material of wig base. The reinforcement maintains the integrity of the wig base.

Abstract: In a wig cap of flexible netting fabric formed in the shape of a human cranium, a strip of elastomeric material attached to the interior surface of the netting fabric adjacent the anterior portion of its border, resists slippage of the wig cap by frictional engagement with the wearer's forehead. In an alternative embodiment comb-shaped clips attached to the interior surface of the netting fabric adjacent the anterior portion of its border engage the wearer's natural hair to resist slippage.

Abstract: Methods for sequentially removing isoflavones and phytates from an active surface by utilizing an aqueous medium for isoflavone removal and an aqueous medium for phytate removal. The aqueous medium for isoflavone removal contains at least one alcohol and at least one acid. The aqueous medium for phytate removal is either a relatively stronger acidic solution, a basic solution, or with some active surfaces may be an aqueous solution of pH 2-7, which is essentially free of alcohol and organic solvents. The use of the methods disclosed allows sequential isolation of isoflavones and phytates, compounds which may then be utilized in various foods for human consumption.
