Publication number: 20190387856Abstract: A hair styling appliance includes first and second heating plates operatively connected for pivotal displacement relative to one another such that a hair segment positioned between them can be styled. A glide-speed sensing system generates an output having a relation to a speed with which the hair segment is displaced relative to the first and second heating plates. A glide-speed indicating system can communicate feedback to a user, based on the output, such as an indication of a glide speed of the hair styling appliance relative to the associated hair segment. A user input device can receive an input from the user regarding a hair-type classification and/or a hair-condition classification and generate a hair-related output having a relation to the input from the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2017Publication date: December 26, 2019Inventors: Vikki Nowak, Rebecca Lynn Blice, Sergey Makarov, David Michael Pehar, Carolyn Marie McNeeley, Christopher deHaas, Murat Kadir, Robert Allen Vystrcil

Patent number: 9053515Abstract: A rich-media system allows a user to illustrate damage and request payment in accordance with an insurance policy or another arrangement. The rich-media system includes network servers that may operate and appear to remote client applications and remote computers as if the network servers were a single computer. A damage indicator tool resident to one of the network servers enables a remote user to visually illustrate damage to an item through a rich-media application. The damage indicator may support a relative pointing device and an absolute pointing device. An incident animator tool linked to the damage indicator tool in some rich media systems enables the remote user to visually recreate an event in a second rich media application. An optional scheduler linked to the incident animator tool and the damage indicator tool may enable the remote user to schedule an appointment to have the damage inspected or repaired.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2013Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Progressive Casualty Insurance CompanyInventors: Vikki Nowak, Brian Brylinski
