Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for assessing damages of keratin fibers using a mesh. Said methods are useful for assessing the degree of damages of keratin fibers and also to compare the damages of fibers of different origin, different portions of fibers and/or fibers treated with different cosmetic, chemical and/or mechanical treatments. Said methods are also useful for supporting advertising claims about the efficacy of a treatment.

Abstract: A method for assessment of force properties generated by the fiber tip of one or more fibers, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a fiber sample of one or more fibers, the fiber sample having a free portion and an end; (b) suspending the fiber sample over a tactile sensor at least 0.

Abstract: A device for controlling the amplitude of a swinging body. The device accurately controls the drive thereof in response to the load the swinging body carries even if it carries infants of different weights.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hair conditioning composition for applying to the dry hair prior to shampooing, comprising: (a) a conditioning oil which is in liquid form at 25° C.; and (b) a nonionic surfactant in an amount which provides phase inversion when the composition is in contact with an abundant amount of water.

Abstract: To provide a swing control device of a swinging body capable of accurately controlling the drive thereof in response to the load the swinging body carries even if it carries infants of different weights, and realizing a desired swing by providing a sensor portion which generates first and second pulse signals having different phases in response to the swing and a control circuit which obtains sensor data based on the first pulse signal and the second pulse signal, decodes data patterns set in advance which corresponds to a combination of the sensor data, judges a swing direction or a change thereof from a changed pattern of the continuous data pattern, reads a target value (pulse count number) set in advance to compare or the like with the pulse count number of the present, the previous, and the one before the previous to obtain a pulse width for driving at the next timing, and outputs a drive pulse of the obtained pulse width to a drive circuit so that driving can be performed in accordance with the expected
