Abstract: An eyelash curler made of a polymeric material such as plastic or of a non-temperature conducting, light but sturdy and durable material comprising a head section and a body section. The head section includes a curling component having a back side and a front side where an eyelash to be curled is introduced. The curling component has a metal blade at its forming member to form better curls than a plastic blade. The lower end of the body section serves as the handle for the device. A push button controls the curling component and is situated at a position opposite the front side of the curling component thereby preventing the push button from contacting the face of a user.

Abstract: A receiving system for estimating symbol timing in a feed-forward manner comprises: a matched filter for receiving baseband signals and dividing them into real and imaginary numbers; a symbol timing estimator for receiving signals from the matched filter and estimating symbol timing using variables; a storage unit for storing the variables and outputting them according to requests of the symbol timing estimator; an interpolator for receiving a symbol timing estimate from the symbol timing estimator, and interpolating symbol-reading timing of the baseband signal; a delayer for delaying the baseband signal input to the interpolator; an RF/IF signal processor for receiving RF signals and performing RF/IF signal processing; and a baseband converter for converting the signal output from the RF/IF signal processor into baseband signals, and outputting them to the matched filter.

Abstract: A computer keyboard is provided which is constructed in such a manner that an auxiliary key group of the keyboard is moved to the left of a text creation key group, the phase of the keys of each key group belonging to the auxiliary key group being mirrorlike-symmetrical with respect to the right-handed standard phase, thereby mitigating confusion in user feels.

Abstract: A system for estimating a traffic rate of calls in system environments providing wireless personal communication services on an open queuing network includes modules that have functions of making three sets of nodes, “log_off”, “log_on” and “active” according to the status of communication terminal equipment, observing the number of “log_on” and “active” terminals by minimum areas of each wireless personal communication service, and predicting traffic probability by minimum areas.

Abstract: A tweezers with a touching pad having a soft and resilient pad on each pincer to provide comfort as well as prevent corns and callouses from forming on the fingers. The touching pad is a pad by itself or a pad supported by a pad holder. The pad may be installed directly to the pincers by squeezing the tail portion of the pad into an opening bored on the pincers. The pad may also be supported by a touching pad holder inserted into each pincer of the tweezers. The pad holder generally have an upper or top band bordering an open space joined to either a lower band or an L-shaped claw. The touching pad holder is held to the pincers by inserting a tail portion of the pad into an opening bored on the pincers through the open space bordered by the upper or top band. The touching pad can also be installed on the pincers by sliding a touching pad holder having a planar pad into each pincers. The touching pad is either stationary or movable.

Abstract: A padded finger receiving device for nail care devices comprising a pad, a pad holder with a pad, or a padded base engaging case, individually or any combination with each other. The pad holder is used for supporting the pad. The pad holder has a front slit and may or may not have a rear slit depending upon the structure of the nail care device. The pad holder has a top member having a first opening and a bottom member having a second opening which can be molded in one piece or attached together. There is a hook with a head protruding laterally inward from a rear end of the bottom member to attach the pad holder to the nail care device. The pad has a top piece and a bottom piece joined together by a center piece, the center piece matching and covering an opening bored on the nail care device through which the pad is introduced. The padded receiving device may consist of the pad independent of the pad holder.

The touching pad may also be supported by a touching pad holder inserted into each pincer of the tweezers. The touching pad holder is held to the pincers by squeezing a tail portion of the touching pad into a hole bored on the pincers. The touching pad can also be installed on the pincers by sliding a touching pad holder having a planar touching pad into each pincers through the L-shaped claws of the touching pad holder until the L-shaped claws snugly engages with the pincers.

Abstract: A dynamic resource allocation apparatus and method for assigning timeslot in a return channel in multi-frequency time division multiple access MF-TDMA in order to have a maximum throughput is disclosed. The apparatus includes: resource request amount collection unit for accumulating a requested resource amount corresponding to each of terminals during a super-frame period; resource request amount processing unit for dividing an accumulated requested resource amount by the number of frame pairs in a super frame and storing a sum of a result of dividing and rounding up a remain of the division to a nearest integer as a request amount of each corresponding terminal; and resource allocation unit for deciding a time slot allocated at each of terminals corresponding to a frame pair based on optimal allocation amount, which is decided based on the request amount by the requested amount processing unit.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of network synchronization for synchronous burst transmission in an asymmetric two-way satellite communication system. Network synchronization information is broadcast to all remote stations using an adaptation field structure that is defined at the MPEG-2 system standard. In addition, all remote stations maintain synchronization between the central station and remote stations using network synchronization information that is located at a program clock reference part and an original program clock reference part of the adaptation field structure.
