Abstract: This is a software program which can produce solutions to problems posed by a user within the context of a recognizable, usable, awareness. What is new in this approach to designing a Universal Artificial Intelligence is the premise that all human actions, despite the many complexities of their creation, are tied directly to only a few possible problems that the human is trying to solve. In observing these connections, the Artificial Intelligence is able to provide a solution, or assist in providing a solution, to these problems. This could be problems of making general conversation or more involved problems of actuating robotic limbs in series of movements to perform a task. This design recognizes a complete outer domain of all human conscienceness.

Abstract: Disclosed is a clear cosmetic gel composition in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion, and methods of forming and of using the composition. The composition has a water-based phase containing water, a cosmetically active ingredient, and at least one coupling agent; and an oil-based phase containing a material having a refractive index in the range of 1.40-1.50, silicone fluids and an alkoxylated, alkyl substituted siloxane surface active agent (e.g., dimethicone copolyol). The composition has a refractive index in a range of 1.4026 to 1.4150. Where the cosmetically active ingredient is an antiperspirant active ingredient, the composition can be an antiperspirant gel (e.g., soft gel) composition. In the refractive index range of the present invention, increased amounts of, e.g., antiperspirant active ingredient, and other high-refractive-index materials providing cosmetic benefits, can be incorporated in the water and oil phases of the composition while still achieving a clear composition.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solid cosmetic composition (e.g., a cream composition) containing an active cosmetic material (e.g., a deodorant active, an antiperspirant active, a sunscreen, an insect repellent and/or an anti-fungal agent) and a silicone gel material. The silicone gel material includes (a) a volatile silicone material and (b) an organopolysiloxane material as a gelling agent, able to form a gel after being mixed with the volatile silicone material. The organopolysiloxane material can be a reaction product of a vinyl-terminated siloxane polymer and a hydride cross-linking agent. The composition can be formed by mixing the active cosmetic material and silicone gel material at ambient temperature. The compositions do not need particulate or clay thickeners or waxy gelling agents.

Abstract: A peer--peer frequency hopping spread spectrum wireless system allows the implementation of full duplex voice/data communications in a single hop peer--peer wireless system. The system uses frequency hopping spread spectrum technique. The frequency band is divided into signalling and message channels. The signalling channels use TDMA with a media access control(MAC) protocol developed for the wireless terminals to access the signalling channels. Once a wireless terminal accesses a time slot on a signalling channel, the corresponding hopping pattern on the message channel is assigned. The message channels use frequency hopping. The hopping patterns of the message channel are chosen such that there is no co-channel interference and minimum adjacent channel interference in the system. Either analog or digital modulation schemes can be used. Synchronization of a transmitter-receiver pair (user-pair) and among user-pairs are achieved through the use of the signalling channels.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solid (e.g., cream, such as semi-solid or soft solid) cosmetic composition containing an active cosmetic material (e.g., a deodorant active, an antiperspirant active, a sunscreen, an insect repellent and/or an anti-fungal agent), volatile (e.g., cyclomethicone) and linear chain (e.g., dimethicone and/or phenyl trimethicone) silicone materials, and at least one gelling agent. The at least one gelling agent includes hexanediol-behenyl beeswax, and is included in the composition in an amount sufficient to provide the solid composition. By incorporating the hexanediol-behenyl beeswax as a gelling agent, conventional gelling agents such as fatty alcohols and hydrogenated castor oil need not be incorporated in the composition. When an antiperspirant active material is incorporated in the solid composition containing hexanediol-behenyl beeswax as a gelling agent, a solid antiperspirant composition that is efficacious and leaves no visible (white) residue, can be achieved.

Abstract: Disclosed is a low residue antiperspirant solid stick composition containing, in addition to an antiperspirant active material, volatile and non-volatile silicone materials, dimethicone copolyol and high-melting-point and low-melting-point waxes. The composition not only has low visible (white) residue after application and after drying, but also has good cosmetic properties, superior antiperspirancy and is easy to manufacture.

Abstract: Disclosed is a clear, antiperspirant material-containing, gel stick composition, containing an acidic antiperspirant material (e.g., an aluminum salt) and gelled with dibenzylidene sorbitol, the composition including a guanidine compound (for example, guanidine carbonate or aminoguanidine bicarbonate) as a stabilizing agent to reduce degradation of the gel and of the dibenzylidene sorbitol gelling agent. Also disclosed are continuous processes for forming the gel stick composition, wherein degradation of the dibenzylidene sorbitol gelling agent in the presence of the antiperspirant material is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable trolley barbecue, which is built up to form a trolley barbecue with some table plates provided for allocation of certain articles thereon, and which is collapsed to become a portable configuration for carriage and storage. By way of two lateral curved frames arranged at both sides by slip joint to lock up the base of the oven at the time the component parts been arranged inside the base. The two curved frames are pushed outward to provide a respective handle for hands to push and pull, and for a table plate to place thereon. Four pieces of stands are collapsibly arranged at the four corners of the base of the oven, with one pair of the stands respectively connected with a wheel. A cover plate provided to cover the base of the oven at the time the oven is collapsed, is separated from the oven and connected with the four stands by releasable joints to provide a place below the base of the trolley barbecue for certain articles to arrange thereon.
