Abstract: Bleaching compositions for keratin fibers are disclosed and comprise a) one or more persalt(s) and/or peroxy salt(s), b) one or more alkalizing agent(s), c) one or more non-acetylated sugar alcohol(s), and/or their mixtures. Total concentrations of compound(s) according to group c) is in the range of 0.0001% to 2.5% by weight, calculated to total weights of the bleaching compositions, the bleaching compositions comprise less than 5% by weight of water, calculated to the total weights of the bleaching compositions, and one or more compound(s) according to group c) is/are mannitol, xylitol, and/or their mixtures.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a device for detecting a zone of communication between a user terminal and a satellite constellation including a plurality of satellites in non-geosynchronous (non-GEO) orbit includes one or more processors and memory. The memory stores instructions that, as a result of being executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to: determine a location of the device, wherein the location corresponds to a field of regard for detecting the zone of communication, and wherein the field of regard corresponds to an antenna aperture of the phased array antenna; evaluate a level of communication between the phased array antenna and the satellite constellation associated with the field of regard; and output, to a user of the device, an indication of the level of communication between the phased array antenna and the satellite constellation associated with the field of regard.

Abstract: A computer program, system, or method is configured for dynamically determining lot-fit. A display shows whether a selected baseline building design with selected building modification options fits within one or more permissible build envelopes of one or more lot parcels.

Abstract: We present an invention that enables autonomous disinfection robots to perform their duties significantly more autonomously than previously possible. Because disinfection mechanisms, such as UV-C light and chemical disinfectant mists, are harmful to humans, robots that provide such disinfection functionality in interior spaces require people to be kept out of the areas of disinfection. Human help is currently required for opening and closing doors for the robot to secure the space during disinfection. We describe a system and method for enabling robots to perform this task safely without human help. In one embodiment this is achieved by mounting a radio-controlled, motorized shade on the door-frame of the room to be disinfected, and enabling the robot to autonomously roll that shade up and down. The shade stops significant amounts of the dangerous UV-C light or chemical disinfectants from leaving the room, enabling a robot to disinfect multiple rooms without human help.

Abstract: An approach is provided for providing immersive interaction via everyday devices based on one or more interaction events. In an example embodiment, an immersion service processes content presented at a device to determine one or more interaction events. The immersion service further determines (a) one or more control signals for controlling the device, one or more other devices, or a combination thereof to cause, at least in part, the one or more interaction events; (b) one or more protocols for transmitting the one or more control signals; or (c) a combination thereof. The immersion service also causes, at least in part, a transmission of the one or more control signals to the device, the one or more other devices, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A bracket for coupling a urinal to a soil pipe is provided. The bracket includes a body portion defining a first opening configured to be in fluid communication with the soil pipe, the body portion having a first surface configured to receive a resilient gasket. The bracket further includes an arm extending outwardly from the body portion, the arm having a structure configured to receive a fastener for coupling the bracket to the urinal, the structure having a first surface positioned forward of the first surface of the body portion.

Abstract: A latching system includes a striker defining an outer width and a latch assembly. The latch assembly includes a support structure including a first side plate, a second side plate spaced from the first side plate, and a top plate fixedly attached to and extending between the first side plate and the second side plate. The first side plate and the second side plate are spaced from each other a separation distance that is greater than the outer width of the striker such that the outer width of the striker is completely disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate when the latch assembly is in a lock position.

Abstract: A seal module for sealing between a first door and a second door of opposing-hinged doors is moveable between an sealing position for sealing between the first door and the second door, and a withdrawn position longitudinally spaced from one of the first door and the second door to allow for independent pivotable movement of either the first door or the second door. A linkage system including a first swing arm and a second swing arm rotatably interconnects the seal module to the second door, and moves the seal module between the sealing position and the withdrawn position along an arcuate path that is disposed along a plane substantially perpendicular to an outer surface of the opposing-hinged doors.
