  • Publication number: 20240123642
    Abstract: Razors cartridges including a guard, a cap, and at least two blades with parallel sharpened edges located between the guard and cap are provided. The first blade has a first color and a second blade has a second color, where the first color is different than the second color. The blade color corresponds to an attribute of the blade (e.g., low cut force) that the color is disposed on or an attribute of the razor cartridge (e.g., sensitive skin). The color of the blade corresponds to a target user of the razor cartridge (e.g., male or female). The first blade defines a blade edge near or nearest the guard and a second blade defines a blade edge near or nearest the cap.

  • Patent number: 10799473
    Abstract: Accelerated senescence has been shown to occur as a primary response to cellular stresses including DNA damaging agents (e.g., ionizing radiation) and is widely believed to be caused by continuous proliferative signaling in the presence of cell cycle arrest. The present disclosure provides a method of reducing cellular senescence in non-cancerous cells following exposure to ionizing radiation. The method comprises administering to a subject before, after, or concurrently with exposure to ionizing radiation an effective amount of a compound that inhibits activation of an insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) or a compound that inhibits a protein involved in an IGF-1R induced signaling cascade.

  • Patent number: 6616985
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for injecting gas within a plasma reactor and tailoring the distribution of an active species generated by the remote plasma source over the substrate or wafer. The distribution may be uniform, wafer-edge concentrated, or wafer-center concentrated. A contoured plate or profiler modifies the distribution. The profiler is an axially symmetric plate, having a narrow top end and a wider bottom end, shaped to redistribute the gas flow incident upon it. The method for tailoring the distribution of the active species over the substrate includes predetermining the profiler diameter and adjusting the profiler height over the substrate.
