Publication number: 20200282370Abstract: There is disclosed a system for mixing a product including a high-precision scale for weighing product combinates added to the product, a series of computer-controlled flow control mechanisms for releasing product combinates as directed by a first computing device, a machine-readable label printer for printing a label including instructions to create the product from the product combinates at the direction of the first computing device, and a machine-readable language scanner for the label at the direction of the first computing device. The first computing device receives a request for the product, directs the machine-readable label printer to print the label including the instructions, directs the machine-readable language scanner to read the instructions; and operates the series of flow control mechanisms in response to data from the high-precision scale to release at least one of the product combinates in an amount directed by the instructions to create the product.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2019Publication date: September 10, 2020Inventors: Aaron Chan, Anthony Brzozowski, Francisco Gimenez, Rabih Zaouk

Patent number: 10532335Abstract: There is disclosed a system for enabling dynamic mixture of hair colorant for individuals within a local retail establishment or salon. The system utilizes a dynamically-updatable database of hair colorant mixtures, based upon input data regarding natural hair color and current state to generate a suitable mixture. The same system and database can be used for subsequent refill orders from a remote manufacturing site. The remote manufacturing system operates in much the same way, but at a larger scale, and can be used for subsequent refill orders submitted online. Whichever system is used, the same user and colorant mixtures will be generated, and any updates or changes to the colorant mixture will appear on any system reliant upon the same database of colorant combinate instructions.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2019Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: eSalon.com, LLCInventors: Aaron Chan, Anthony Brzozowski, Francisco Gimenez, Rabih Zaouk

Patent number: 7534470Abstract: C-MEMS architecture having carbon structures with high surface areas due to high aspect ratios and nanoscale surface enhancements, and improved systems and methods for producing such structures are provided. Specifically, high aspect ratio carbon structures are microfabricated by pyrolyzing a patterned carbon precursor polymer. Pyrolysing the polymer preferably comprises a multi-step process in an atmosphere of inert and forming gas at high temperatures that trail the glass transition temperature (Tg) for the polymer. The surface area of the carbon microstructures is increases by nanotexturing the surface through oxygen plasma exposure, and by integrating nanoscale structures with the carbon microstructures by exposing the carbon microstructures and a catalyst to hydrocarbon gas. In a preferred embodiment, the carbon microstructures are the source of carbon gas.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2005Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Marc J. Madou, Chunlei Wang, Lili Taherabadi, Benjamin Park, Rabih Zaouk

Publication number: 20050255233Abstract: C-MEMS architecture having high aspect ratio carbon structures and improved systems and methods for producing high aspect ratio C-MEMS structures are provided. Specifically, high aspect ratio carbon structures are microfabricated by pyrolyzing a patterned carbon precursor polymer. Pyrolysing the polymer preferably comprises a multi-step process in an atmosphere of inert and forming gas at high temperatures that trail the glass transit temperature (Tg) for the polymer. Multi-layer C-MEMS carbon structures are formed from multiple layers of negative photoresist, wherein a first layer forms carbon interconnects and the second and successive layers form high aspect ratio carbon structures. High-conductivity interconnect traces to connect C-MEMS carbon structures are formed by depositing a metal layer on a substrate, patterning a polymer precursor on top of the metal layer and pyrolyzing the polymer to create the final structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2005Publication date: November 17, 2005Inventors: Marc Madou, Chunlei Wang, Guangyao Jia, Lili Taherabadi, Benjamin Park, Rabih Zaouk
