Appl. No.:

11/565998

Inventors:

Kelly Chapman - Atlanta GA, US
Stan Chudzik - Alpharetta GA, US
David Harper - Manchester GA, US

Assignee:

GOODY PRODUCTS - Freeport IL

International Classification:

A45D 24/10

US Classification:

132118

Abstract:

A flat iron comb in accordance with the present disclosure combines a comb with tongs to allow the user to section a portion of hair and clamp down with the comb portion to provide tension when the flat iron is pulled behind the flat iron comb. The flat iron comb also lines tip the hair prior to being heated by the flat iron thus allowing a straighter result on the hair. The flat iron comb possesses a slot in a lower armature to allow for the comb of an upper armature to be inserted therein when the tongs are clamped down. The lower armature also possesses a tapered sectioning point on the tip of the armature to allow the user to get closer to the scalp to gather the hair section to be straightened. The armature can also possess a ceramic attribute in the lower armature to assist in setting and drying the hair.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

Conflict-free vector access of any constant stride is made by preselecting a storage scheme for each vector based on the accessing patterns to be used with that vector. A respective storage scheme for each vector, for example, is selected to provide conflict-free access for a predetermined stride S. The respective storage scheme involves a rotation or permutation of an addressed row of corresponding memory locations in N parallel modules in main memory. The amount of rotation or permutation is a predetermined function of the predetermined stride S and the row address. The rotation is performed by modulo-N addition, or the permutation is performed by a set of exclusive-OR gates. For a system in which N is a power of 2 such that n=log. sub. 2 N, the predetermined stride S is factored into an odd component and an even component that is a power of 2. The factorization is easily performed by a shift and count procedure, a shifter and counter, or a priority encoder.
