  • Patent number: 6199560
    Abstract: A cosmetic mask includes a handle carrying a pad adjacent one end. The pad is formed of a plurality of leaves with a distal edge of each leaf being anatomically contoured with a concave zone to facilitate lateral placement against one's face beneath an eye, the lid of which is to receive makeup. The leaves have a non-gloss outer surface to facilitate adherence of fallen makeup particles. After fallen eye makeup has been collected on the outermost leaf of the pad, the leaf is removed and discarded, leaving a fresh leaf. An alternate embodiment includes a clamp arrangement for mounting the pad to the handle.

  • Patent number: 5666399
    Abstract: A mobility management system and a traditional telecommunication switching system provide telecommunication terminal features by the mobility management system executing a software architecture that utilizes a unique terminal management application for each type of wireless terminal and a unique terminal emulator application for each type of telecommunication link that interconnects the mobility management system to the telecommunication switching system. There is an individually assigned telecommunication link for each wireless terminal. The terminal management applications and the terminal emulator applications communicate utilizing an internal message protocol. In response to a wireless terminal requesting actuation of a feature, a terminal management application converts that request into the required internal protocol messages and transmits the internal protocol messages to the terminal emulator application that controls the telecommunication link assigned to the wireless terminal.
