Abstract: A device for dispensing and applying a cosmetic product, the device includes a product dispensing assembly, an applicator which is configured to be coupled within an upper chamber of the product dispensing assembly in a removable manner, and a cap which is configured to be removably engaged with the product dispensing assembly for covering the applicator and the product dispensing assembly when the device is not in use. The applicator comprises an applicator element which is in contact with an intermediate receiving surface of the dispensing head of the product dispensing assembly. At least a portion of the applicator is placed in contact with the product delivered through at least one outlet of the dispensing head when the product dispensing assembly is actuated. Preferably, the product at least partially impregnates the applicator element when the product contacts the applicator element.

Abstract: A device (102) supports error correction. A receiver (120) is configured to receive data over a communications link. A decapsulator (122) is coupled to the receiver and configured to create datagrams. A decoder (124) is coupled to the decapsulator and configured to store the datagrams in a table and to create codewords, the decoder storing the datagrams in table columns to create codewords in table rows. A user interface (126) is coupled to the decoder and configured to render images corresponding with the datagrams on the user interface. Advantages of the invention include efficient signal processing and prolonged battery life in mobile wireless devices.

Abstract: A single USB-to-IDE adapter (204) connects two or more IDE devices (208, 210, 212) to a USB apparatus (202). The USB apparatus (202) communicates with each IDE device using a connection identifier associated with the USB connection (206) and a unique identifier associated with each IDE connection (214, 216, 218). The USB-to-IDE adapter (204) may be integrated within the USB apparatus (202) or as a discrete component connected to the USB apparatus (202).

Abstract: A receiver (120) is configured to receive data over a communications link. A decapsulator (122) is coupled to the receiver and configured to create datagrams and erasure attributes associated with the datagrams. A decoder (124) is coupled to the decapsulator and configured to store the datagrams in a frame table (400) and to create codewords, the decoder storing the datagrams in table columns to create codewords in table rows, correcting the codewords, and configured to store the erasure attributes in an erasure table (552). The erasure table is characterized in that it comprises a plurality of entries (560), each of which is associated with a column of the frame table. Each entry is comprised of a plurality of elements (570).

A decapsulator (122) is coupled to the receiver and configured to create datagrams and erasure attributes associated with the datagrams. A decoder (124) is coupled to the decapsulator and configured to store the datagrams in a frame table and track the progression thereof to create codewords, the decoder storing the datagrams in table columns to create codewords in table rows, and configured to store the erasure attributes in an erasure table. A user interlace (126) is coupled to the decoder and configured to render images corresponding with the datagrams on the user interface. Advantages of the invention include improved signal reception and processing, and prolonged battery life in mobile wireless devices.
