Abstract: A blade for a ceiling fan can include a blade body made from a pulp material. The pulp material can be a unit of pulp in the shape of the blade body. The unit of pulp can be compressed, thermoformed, or stamped. The blade body can be a single or multiple pieces, like an upper and lower half. A skeleton can be located between the upper and lower halves. A coating can be applied to the blade body to reduce friction and/or for waterproofing.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to a system, device, and method for customizing a cosmetic product. The system includes: an interface device, in electronic communication with a single batch cosmetic device. A plurality of cartridges for holding cosmetic additive which can be dispensed by a mixing assembly in accurate units to create customized cosmetics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to composition at least including (A) at least one epoxy-group terminated polyoxazolidinone, derived from at least one polyisocyanate compound and at least one aliphatic polyepoxide compound, (B) at least one compound having at least one group that is reactive towards terminal epoxy-groups, and (C) at least one solvent. The molar ratio of the epoxy groups of the polyepoxide compound to the isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanate compound is 50:1 to 2.4:1. The at least one epoxy-group terminated polyoxazolidinone is present in an amount of 50 to 95% by weight, in respect of the solid content of the composition. The sum of all components in respect of the solid content of the composition adds up to 100% by weight and where the solid content of the composition is at least 35% by weight.

Abstract: A blade for a ceiling fan can include a first half and a second half formed from a pulp material. The first half is attachable to the second half to form the blade. Additionally, a blade can include a skeleton with an over molding made from a pulp forming the blade. Furthermore, a blade can be formed using a blade base with a pulp topper added to the blade to form an aerodynamic shape for the blade.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for heating fluids to a relatively high temperature, such as sterilization temperature, in which the fluid, such as a liquid, is heated by direct contact with steam while it is in the form of a very thin, free-falling film or a continuous falling stream so that heating of the fluid is accomplished without the fluid coming into contact with any surface and particularly metal surfaces which are hotter than the fluid product being heated and with minimum agitation and turbulence of the fluid product. This procedure enables maximum and uniform heat penetration in a minimum time interval with the film or stream being maintained as thin as possible and unbroken by introducing steam at a relatively low velocity in a large volume vessel.

Abstract: A traveling wave tube adapted for periodic magnetic focusing of the electron beam has a thin-walled, non-magnetic cylinder around the slow-wave circuit portion, forming part of the vacuum envelope. A stack of metal rings surrounding the cylinder has alternating non-magnetic rings and magnetic rings, the latter forming the periodic magnet pole pieces. The rings and the thin cylinder are all brazed together to provide a strong structure. Since the cylinder does not have to be self-supporting, it is made thin enough to allow close spacing between the pole pieces and beam, providing strong magnetic field and good focusing. The brazed joints between rings are not vacuum joints, so the probability of leaks is greatly reduced.

Abstract: A snap engaging necktie knot piece that includes engaging means such as "Velcro" thereon to engage the necktie.
