Abstract:
A new personal care product in the form of a free-standing stick comprises an inner core with cosmetic ingredients and an solid outer shell adhering to the inner core, in which the outer shell is wax-free and contains at least solid proteins, liquid polyols or solutions of polyols, solid polyols, emollients and additional cosmetic auxiliary materials and active ingredients. The outer surface does not transfer pigment through brief contact with the skin and is also not sticky.
Methods, apparatus and systems for dynamically controlling a digital communication system, such as a DSL system, collect information about digital communication lines in the system and adaptively and/or dynamically determine line and signal characteristics of the digital communication lines, including interference effects. Based on the determined characteristics and the desired performance parameters, operation of the digital communication lines is adjusted to improve or otherwise control the performance of the system. The collection and processing of information may be performed by a party that is not a user in the system. This independent party also may control operational characteristics and parameters of the system. The invention can be used to eliminate or reduce signal interference such as crosstalk that can be induced on communication lines in systems such as DSL systems. Specific iterative power allocation and vectored transmission techniques and apparatus are disclosed.
Compositions Comprising At Least One Silicone, At Least One Compound Comprising At Least One Ester Group, And At Least One Copolymer, And Methods For Using The Same
Compositions, and methods for using compositions, comprising at least one silicone, at least one compound comprising at least one ester group, and at least one copolymer. In an embodiment, the inventive compositions do not comprise any volatile solvents. Compositions comprising at least one encapsulated pigment, wherein the at least one encapsulated pigment is dispersed in at least one silicone are also disclosed.
Shine-enhancing film formers are used to formulate cosmetic compositions in which shine is a desired property. Shine-enhancing film formers may be used alone for a high degree of shine or in combination with other film formers to modify the degree of shine. Using shine-enhancing film formers in cosmetics compositions often accomplishes increased shine properties while retaining other properties favorable to cosmetic compositions such as transfer-resistance.

US Classification:
424 64, 424 69, 424401
Abstract:
The invention relates to a physiologically acceptable composition, especially a cosmetic composition, comprising at least one polyorganosiloxane containing polymer comprising at least one moiety which comprises: at least one polyorganosiloxane group consisting of 1 to about 1000 organosiloxane units in the chain of the moiety or in the form of graft, and at least two groups capable of establishing hydrogen interactions.
Cosmetic Compositions Having Enhanced Wear Properties
A cosmetic composition and process which provides enhanced wear and transfer resistance containing: (a) at least one polypropylsilsesquioxane film forming resin; (b) at least one solvent; and (c) optionally, at least one colorant.

Abstract:
Incremental training data is used to supplement a trained model to provide personalized recommendations for a user. The personalized recommendations can be made by taking into account the user's behavior, such as, without limitation, the user's short and long term web page interactions, to identify item recommendations. A trained model is generated from training data indicative of the web page interaction data collected from a plurality of users. Incremental training data indicative of other web page interaction data can be used to supplement the trained model, or in place of the trained model. Incremental training data can be indicative of user behavior collected more recently than the data used to train the model, for example.
