  • Patent number: 12364657
    Abstract: A film coating for keratin fibers is described. The film coating is produced by applying to the keratin fibers a pretreatment composition and a film forming composition and curing the compositions to produce the film coating. The coating may be clear and function as a styling, conditioning and holding. The coating alternatively may contain pigment particles and provide a color coating.

  • Publication number: 20250049682
    Abstract: A coating, preferably a color coating, method for keratin fibers is described which includes three steps: activation, pretreatment and binding. The activation step includes one or both of a Praeparatur procedure and a Fundamenta procedure to produce modified fibers. The pretreatment step applies a pretreatment composition of at least a PTH alkoxysilane with PTH as a thiol, a protected thiol or a group complementarily reactive with thiol to the modified fibers to form pretreated fibers. The binding step applies a film forming composition to the pretreated fibers to form the color coating.

  • Publication number: 20230338262
    Abstract: The methods and compositions of the present invention are directed to coloration of anagenic hair. The methods involve priming and deep cleaning the anagenic hair followed by coating the hair strands with a composite pigment containing film of a small molecule and a film forming composition which covalently interact to form an intimate three dimensional silicone network incorporating the pigment on the surfaces of the hair.

  • Patent number: 11385050
    Abstract: A position-measuring device includes a graduation carrier which is non-rotatably connectable to a shaft and has a measuring graduation that is disposed radially about an axis of rotation of the shaft in a mounted state of the graduation carrier. A first scanner is configured to generate position signals by scanning the measuring graduation. A position-processor is configured to process the position signals into absolute, digital position values. An interface is configured to communicate with subsequent electronics. A second scanner is configured to generate measurement signals that are dependent on a position of a machine part by scanning a measurement target on the machine part. An analyzer is configured to process the measurement signals into a measurement value indicative of a position and/or a change in the position of the measurement target relative to the second scanner, and to output the measurement value to the interface.

  • Patent number: 9514753
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing speaker identification. In some implementations, an utterance vector that is derived from an utterance is obtained. Hash values are determined for the utterance vector according to multiple different hash functions. A set of speaker vectors from a plurality of hash tables is determined using the hash values, where each speaker vector was derived from one or more utterances of a respective speaker. The speaker vectors in the set are compared with the utterance vector. A speaker vector is selected based on comparing the speaker vectors in the set with the utterance vector.
