Abstract: An integrated communication interface is provided for composing and sending messages. The interface is multi-configurable to seamlessly switch between different communication methods, e.g., electronic mail, instant messaging, SMS, chat, voice, and the like, without loss of message content. The interface allows a user to begin composing a message to be sent using one communication method, such as electronic mail, and subsequently change the communication method and send the message via a second communication method, such as instant messaging. When the communication method is changed, the user interface may also change to include elements specific to a particular communication method. The integrated communication interface may display information about participants in the communication, such as the participants' presence, i.e., whether they are online and available for communication, and may automatically choose the best method of communication based on the preferences and online presence of the participants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hair care compositions comprising an oxidizing agent and chelants having a log KCuL/log KCaL ratio calculated at pH 10 of at least 3.20 wherein log KCuL is the common logarithm of the Conditional Stability Constant of said chelant with Cu2+ and log KCaL is the common logarithm of the Conditional Stability Constant of said chelant with Ca2+. Suitable chelants are diamine-N,N?-dipolyacids or monoamine monoamide-N,N?-dipolyacids. The compositions according to the present invention contribute to reducing the oxidative damage sustained by a keratinous fiber such as hair during bleaching, dyeing, perming or other oxidative treatments. Especially preferred diamine dipolyacid is ethylenediamine-N,N?-disuccinic acid (EDDS).

Abstract: The present invention relates to hair care compositions comprising chelants and methods for reducing oxidative hair damage. The compositions contribute to reducing the oxidative damage sustained by keratinous fibers such as human hair during bleaching, dyeing, perming or other oxidative treatments. The compositions according to the present invention also provide excellent color evenness and color fastness.

Abstract: A laminate structure for use as a container for liquids including a structural substrate such as a paperboard which facilitates a gable top container having incorporated on its inner surface a layer of a fibrous matrix which has encapsulated or incorporated therein a finely ground divinylbenzene ethyl vinylbenzene copolymer, polystyrene divinylbenzene copolymer resin or a cyclodextrin placed on its inner surface. Additionally, the fibrous matrix may be produced as an insert and attached to the inner surface of the gable top container through the use of various items such as hot melt adhesives.

Abstract: Nanometer-scale crystals of III-V semiconductors are disclosed, They are prepared by reacting a group III metal source with a group V anion source in a liquid phase at elevated temperature in the presence of a crystallite growth terminator such as pyridine or quinoline.
