  • Publication number: 20250000227
    Abstract: The present invention is a tail comb that features a retractable tail and a toggle on the spine, allowing one-handed operation. The retractable tail allows for easier hair manipulation and can be securely stored inside the handle when not in use. This enables easy storage and transportation, making it ideal for use at home or on the go, and eliminating the need for a separate storage compartment or case. By extending the tail, the toggle is pushed to the bottom of the spine, enabling easier sectioning and parting of the hair. When the toggle slides to the top, the tail retracts and safely stores inside the handle, preventing injuries, tangles, or breakage of the comb. The toggle mechanism is user-friendly and suitable for professional hairstylists and everyday users. The patent application aims to protect the inventor's intellectual property and restrict unauthorized production, use, or sale of a similar tail comb.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for selecting a cosmetic tattoo ink and method for image acquisition and image processing for the selection method, including acquiring an image of a person in a controlled lighting area, measuring, and recording the colorimetric coordinates of the person's face; processing the image to determine the absolute value of the skin tone, while reading the undertone of the skin with lasers, furthermore, analyzing the skin condition of that individual. Correlating the absolute value of the combined analysis with a color pigment map from a data bank of pigment manufactures stored in the system, human error is eliminated by providing the exact permanent makeup tattoo ink pigment suitable to that specific person. The two laser nozzles will cover different areas of the face: one designed for the lips and one designed for the eyebrows. When applied to skin, this can provide and recommend the exact variation of pigment formulation.
