An emulsion comprising: water; hydrophilic particles; and hydrophobic particles; wherein the hydrophilic and hydrophobic particles form shells encapsulating a gas that are suspended in the water, said shells comprising an external layer of hydrophilic particles and an internal layer of hydrophobic particles adjacent to the layer of hydrophilic particles.

Wrinkles are cosmetically removed from a superficial area of mammalian skin tissue having an epidermal layer, a basal layer, and a dermal layer, by irradiating the dermal layer through the basal layer, the irradiation being selected to be absorbed by a chromophore in the dermal layer such that collagen present in the dermal layer is heated, while the basal layer remains intact so as to substantially inhibit contact of the dermal layer with ambient air.

The use of cyclamic acid as a catalyst for the curing of hydroxyl-functional resins having a functionality greater than 2 provides a wrinkle finish. The hydroxy-function may be present in polyesters, epoxies, and acrylate or methacrylate resins, among others. The polyester resins which are able to provide such a finish have a hot plate melt flow of from about 20 mm to about 150 mm.

A printing press, especially of the offset newspaper printing type, includes an anti-wrinkle roller to function in cooperation with a web of paper being printed by the press. The roller has a pair of sections which are each independently adjustable eccentrically with respect to a common central axis. The roller is mounted transverse to the web. The eccentrically adjustable sections of the roller are manipulative to compensate for uneven tension across the width of the web so as to provide unifor...

The present invention introduces a simulation software for displaying a human being comprised of a plurality of arm joints, wherein each of the plurality of arm joints comprises a 1st part and a 2nd part. The invention also displays one or more wrinkles on or near the joint of the 1st part and the 2nd part, wherein the 1st part and the 2nd part are connected, and the angle produced by the 1st part and 2nd part is variable. The more the value of the angle decreases, the more the amount and/or the...

A wrinkle treatment formulation is provided which is in the form of a gel formed of at least 95% by weight of a gelable hydrophilic polyurethane polymer base and a precipitated silica thickener gelling agent. Upon brushing the above-described gel formulation on wrinkled skin, the gel fills up wrinkles and dries to impart to so-treated skin a smooth substantially wrinkle-free appearance.

A fuser baffle which helps to minimize or eliminate sheet wrinkle by a fuser. A small "saddle" is added to the center section of the inlet to the fuser on the baffle surface which last contacts and controls the sheet before entry into the fuser nip. The saddle removes most of the corrugation along approximately 90 to 95% of the centermost portion of the sheet. Any remaining corrugation at the inboard and outboard ends is removed by the fuser flare. The baffle is applicable to any fusing device w...

There is provided a composition as well as a method for treating fabrics in order to improve various properties of fabrics, in particular, wrinkle resistance by means of a cross-linking resin having cationic properties.

A multilayer PSA construction includes a facestock, a hazy, first adhesive layer adjacent the facestock, and a PSA layer adjacent the first adhesive layer, and is protected until use by a release liner. The first adhesive layer includes an immiscible blend of a first elastomer having a first glass transition temperature and forming a continuous phase, and a second elastomer forming a discontinuous phase. The second elastomer has a glass transition temperature greater than the first glass transit...
