Abstract: A refiner plate segment including a plurality of bars and grooves for refining lignocellulosic materials, where the grooves between adjacent bars includes a plurality of teeth having a wave-like profile with alternating high and low points. The wave-like profile of the teeth within the grooves increases turbulence in the refining process to tumble the fibers and push them toward the refining gap to reduce energy and improve the efficiency of the fiber reduction process.

Abstract: A method for eliminating baldness and recreating the hairline of a natural-looking low cut hair style, by adhering short fragments of hair onto the scalp with an adhesive. The method includes drawing a desired hairline shape on the scalp (if needed), applying an adhesive to the desired areas using the drawn hairline, and sprinkling the hair fragments onto the adhesive, such that the hair fragments are affixed onto the scalp. Various tools may be used to help draw the hairline and to shape the hairline afterwards. The hair fragments can be removed using a removal agent that dissolves the adhesive. The method is relatively simple once learned, easy to apply, and creates immediate results.

Abstract: What is disclosed is an apparatus for repetitive motion therapy that includes a frame structure, an orthotic adapted for securing to a part of a body, an adjustable linkage coupled between the frame structure and the orthotic for moving the orthotic and a control mechanism for controlling the adjustable linkage. Additionally, a method for providing repetitive motion therapy which includes securing an orthotic to a portion of a body wherein the orthotic is attached to an adjustable linkage, and actuating the adjustable linkage to cause repetitive motion of the orthotic imparting corresponding movement of the portion of the body is disclosed. Finally, a method of making the same is disclosed.
