The invention provides wet skin treatment compositions for use during bathing. The compositions are activated by water and retained efficiently on skin. The compositions impart desirable benefits to skin, are perceived to absorb quickly on wet skin, and leave the skin feeling clean, but non-greasy.

This invention relates generally to uses of novel nanomaterial composition and the systems in which they are used, and more particularly to nanomaterial compositions generally comprising carbon and a metal, which composition can be exposed to pulsed emissions to react, activate, combine, or sinter the nanomaterial composition. The nanomaterial compositions can alternatively be utilized at ambient temperature or under other means to cause such reaction, activation, combination, or sintering to occur.

An outsole, especially for sports shoes, that can be formed with a large amount of elastic deformability even in the tangential direction towards the front and the back, enabling a good cushioning effect even when the tread of the foot is inclined and somewhat slipping. Beyond at least one critical deformation in the deformed region, the sole remains essentially rigid in relation to tangential deformation. In this way, the runner has a secure footing on the respective tread point. The elastic deformability of the sole also in the tangential direction is caused by at least one first element, and the rigidity of the sole in relation to tangential deformation beyond the at least one critical deformation, in addition to the degree of the at least one critical deformation in the deformed region is due to at least one second element.

A method of producing an antenna coupler for placement on an antenna under test (AUT) having an aperture. This method includes the steps of constructing a probe from a section of RF hard-line stock having a center conductor and an outer conductor. The outer conductor is removed to expose a portion of the center conductor having a length equal to or less than ¼ wavelength of the AUT. The probe is embedded within a fiberglass shell and has an exposed RF connector for connection to equipment for performing tests on the AUT. The probe is then positioned across the aperture of the Antenna Under Test (AUT).

In an insulated gate semiconductor device (1) having an N− type base region (11), P+ type collector regions (12), P type base regions (13), and N+ type emitter regions (14), an N+ type collector-short region (15) which extends toward the N− type base region (11) farther than the P+ type collector regions (12) is formed in the lower surface of the N− type base region (11), and a P+ type semiconductor region (16) is formed between the N+ type collector-short region (15) and the N− type base region (11).

A countermass for use in a weapon to balance the forces arising when a launch able unit is launched from a launcher tube of the weapon. The countermass includes a first container enclosing a liquid. A countermass weapon includes a launcher tube open or openable in both ends. The launcher tube houses a launch able unit, a countermass including a first container enclosing a liquid, a pressure chamber, and a propellant charge that upon firing and combustion of the charge in cooperation with the pressure chamber and the countermass accelerates the launch able unit forwards in the tube at the same time as the countermass accelerates backwards in the tube. The first container is made of a non-rigid material. A second container is provided to cover or almost cover the first container. The second container is designed with damping characteristics.

The invention describes a method of manufacturing an electrode (1) for a gas-discharge lamp, which method comprises forming an electrode shaft (10); forming a coil (2) over a winding length (L W); arranging the coil (2) on the electrode shaft (10); and melting material of the coil (2) such that, when the melted coil material has re-solidified, the solidified material (30,31) comprises a one-piece shell (3), which one-piece shell (3) comprises a fused portion (30) over a fraction (L T) of the winding length (L W) and a mantle portion (31) over a remainder (L B) of the winding length (L W). The invention further describes an electrode (1) for a gas-discharge lamp, which electrode (1) comprises an electrode shaft (10); a coil (2) arranged on the electrode shaft (10) over a winding length (L W); and a one-piece shell (2) comprising re-solidified material of the coil (2), which one-piece shell (3) comprises a fused portion (30) over a fraction (L T) of the winding length (L W) and a mantle portion (31) over a remainder (L B) of the winding length (L W). The invention also describes a gas-discharge lamp (6) comprising a burner (4) enclosing a discharge vessel (40), a first electrode (1) and a second electrode (1), wherein the electrodes (1) are arranged to protrude into the dis-charge vessel (40) from opposite sides of the discharge vessel (40), wherein at least one of the electrodes (1) comprises an electrode (1) according to the invention.

A method for determining an inverse filter for altering the frequency response of a loudspeaker so that with the inverse filter applied in the loudspeaker's signal path the inverse-filtered loudspeaker output has a target frequency response, and optionally also applying the inverse filter in the signal path, and a system configured (e.g., a general or special purpose processor programmed and configured) to determine an inverse filter. In some embodiments, the inverse filter corrects the magnitude of the loudspeaker's output. In other embodiments, the inverse filter corrects both the magnitude and phase of the loudspeaker's output. In some embodiments, the inverse filter is determined in the frequency domain by applying eigenfilter theory or minimizing a mean square error expression by solving a linear equation system.
