Abstract: A natural human shaker hair is offered to be efficiently applied to the balding spots and thinning areas of a user's scalp. The shaker hair comprises 100% natural human hairs and does not include any chemicals and/or man-made materials. The shaker hair is statically charged with negative electricity to not only allow easy application to the affected areas, but also cling to the user's scalp and existing hair. Thus, the shaker hair creates root lift and substantial kickstand support to the existing long hair of the user, and helps the user with desired styling. Further, an innovative method of making the all-natural human shaker hair is provided. The method prepares the shaker hair by cutting natural human hairs into hair granules and charging the hair granules with a charging machine. The resulting shaker hair charged with statically negative charge is placed into hair shakers and ready for use.

Abstract: A continuous inkjet printer has an ink circuit comprising an ink tank, an ink pump and a Venture suction device. The Venturi is used to suck an extra solvent or ink as required. However, if the ink tank is empty, no ink can be pumped through the Venture and so it will not develop suction and thus, cannot be used to suck in an initial supply of ink to an empty tank. A removable ink container may be connected to the ink tank or elsewhere in the ink circuit, for example, between the Venturi outlet and the pump inlet. Compressing the ink container manually will force ink into the ink circuit. When enough ink has been added, the pump will drive ink through the Venturi and suction will be generated.
