  • Publication number: 20060008438
    Abstract: The present invention is a multi-phased personal care composition that contains at least two visually distinct phases. At least one of the visually distinct phases is a benefit phase that has a Flow Onset Temperature of at least about 97° F.; and wherein said visually distinct phases form a pattern; and wherein said visually distinct phases are packaged in physical contact with one another and are stable.

  • Patent number: 6828947
    Abstract: A nested cavity embedded loop mode antenna is provided with an ultra wide band response by nesting individual embedded cavity meander line loaded antenna modules, with the meander lines coupled to a ground plane plate either capacitively or directly so as to provide as much as a 27:1 ratio of high frequency to low frequency cutoff. The nested meander line structure is exceptionally compact and eliminates the problem of a null in the antenna radiation pattern perpendicular to the face of the antenna, thus to provide a loop type antenna pattern at all frequencics across which the antenna is to be operated. The use of the nested meander line configuration provides a flush mount for the antenna having a footprint associated with the larger of the meander line cavities and thus the lowest frequency of operation, the nesting precluding the necessity of providing separate side-by-side meander line loaded antennas which would increase the real estate required.
