Patent number: 5690130Abstract: A cosmetic sampler with an integral applicator in which the unit dose of cosmetic is screen printed onto a paper base. To prevent off-set of the cosmetic sample and to protect the integral applicator during packaging and handling, a protective thin film overlay is laminated to a perimeter adhesive printed on the paper base around the cosmetic and the applicator. The applicator is glued as a laminate to the base and die cut in a desired shape, flocked to the base and die cut, or flocked into a debossed/embossed well formed in the base with the cosmetic sample screen printed directly thereover. The sampler with integral applicator of the present invention can be used for sampling unit doses of powders, creams, lipsticks, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, lotions, and sundries.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1995Date of Patent: November 25, 1997Assignee: Color Prelude Inc.Inventors: Anthony J. Gunderman, David Moir, Robert M. O'Connell, deceased

Patent number: 5647941Abstract: A cosmetic sampler formed by screen printing a slurry of cosmetic powder and solvent onto a paper base. To prevent off-set of the cosmetic sample during packaging and handling, a protective thin film overlay is laminated to a perimeter adhesive printed on the paper base around the cosmetic. The paper base may be replaced by a pressure sensitive adhesive stock to form a unit dose or single application of a cosmetic that can be applied as a label to any desired surface. In other embodiments, a non-pressure sensitive removable adhesive is used in a two-layer removable label construction or a three-layer coupon construction. The sampler can also be provided with or without the protective overlay in a simple folded hand-out version or as a pad of cosmetic sampler sheets. The sampler can also be used to provide unit doses or single applications of creams, lipsticks, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, lotions, and other high viscosity, waxy materials.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 1992Date of Patent: July 15, 1997Assignee: Color Prelude, Inc.Inventors: Anthony J. Gunderman, David Moir, Robert M. O'Connell

Patent number: 4323809Abstract: Surface acoustic wave devices such as reflective array compressors which utilize orthogonal propagation directions are improved by employing a substrate member the surface acoustic wave propagation surface of which exhibits zero temperature coefficient of delay in two orthogonal directions. Temperature compensation means are eliminated and improved performance in relaized by aligning the principal and secondary axes of propagation of the device with the zero temperature coefficient of delay directions. A single cut quartz substrate having its propagation surface defined by a plane coinciding with the Euler angles lambda=0.0.degree.; mu=125.87 (+1-6).degree., theta=45.0.degree. enables realization of the concept with reflective array compressors and other reflective quartz devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1979Date of Patent: April 6, 1982Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventor: Robert M.
