Abstract: A coating, preferably a color coating, method for keratin fibers is described which includes three steps: activation, pretreatment and binding. The activation step includes one or both of a Praeparatur procedure and a Fundamenta procedure to produce modified fibers. The pretreatment step applies a pretreatment composition of at least a PTH alkoxysilane with PTH as a thiol, a protected thiol or a group complementarily reactive with thiol to the modified fibers to form pretreated fibers. The binding step applies a film forming composition to the pretreated fibers to form the color coating.

Abstract: A system of a tamper evidence/child resistant latch device and an enclosure is disclosed. The latching device and the enclosure will remain separate to each other as items that can be “attached” to each other to become as “one item” only when the enclosure such as a bag and/or a blister pack is packaged with a commodity. The system requires “hand-resistance” to break a “seal” to gain access to the commodity. The “seal” aligns with a matching “internal hook” so designed that must be hand-broken to gain access to the commodity. A commodity having a value and not considered as dangerous to a child, can provide new security levels. The system requires the dexterity of two hands, as a “capacity” belonging to an adult, but would be difficult for a child.

Abstract: A method, implemented on at least one computing device, for executing program code of a probabilistic programming language. The program code comprises a series of statements including random procedures for which values are determined when the random procedures are executed, and constraints on results obtained when executing the program code.

The method comprises generating a plurality of execution histories for the program code. A subset of execution histories from a set comprising the plurality of generated execution histories is determined, using at least one constraint of the program code. At least one new execution history is generated by copying the at least one execution history, and the steps are then repeated using the determined subset of execution histories and the at least one new execution history.

Abstract: An integrated circuit is wire bonded in a manner such that there is consistent RF performance from integrated circuit package to integrated circuit package. Bond distances within the integrated circuit are measured, each corresponding to a wire bond to be formed. An area under a hypothetical wire bond profile is calculated as a function of the bond distances, a baseline wire length, and a baseline loop height. A wire is bonded across a given one of the bond distances to form a given one of the wire bonds. A wire bond profile for the given wire bond is provided having an area thereunder that is substantially equal to the calculated area.
