20110081372 | Cosmetic Compositions And Container Therefor - A self-standing container holds particles of a cosmetic composition. The container may be cup-shaped or box-shaped, for example, and made of laminated paper or polystyrene. When ready to use, the user opens the container and adds liquid or gel to mix with the dry particles to form a moist cosmetic composition, so no separate mixing container or measuring cup is necessary. The composition formed is suitable for treating a user's skin and/or hair. A fill mark on the container informs the user of a proper amount of the liquid or gel to add to the container. The particles may include both ground-up and whole particles from substances such as dried botanicals (plant ingredients) and a binding agent. A cosmetic composition includes a ready-to-mix mixture of ingredients including particles from dried herbs and/or flowers and a dried food, and an essential oil. | 04-07-2011 |

20080311448 | High Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells - High temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and techniques related thereto that involve alternative materials. For example, in one aspect, a device includes a high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell comprising one or more metal anodes or cathodes. | 12-18-2008 |
20100055509 | Inorganic Salt Mixtures as Electrolyte Media in Fuel Cells - Fuel cell designs and techniques for converting chemical energy into electrical energy uses a fuel cell are disclosed. The designs and techniques include an anode to receive fuel, a cathode to receive oxygen, and an electrolyte chamber in the fuel cell, including an electrolyte medium, where the electrolyte medium includes an inorganic salt mixture in the fuel cell. The salt mixture includes pre-determined quantities of at least two salts chosen from a group consisting of ammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate, ammonium trifluoroacetate, and ammonium nitrate, to conduct charge from the anode to the cathode. The fuel cell includes an electrical circuit operatively coupled to the fuel cell to transport electrons from the cathode. | 03-04-2010 |

20160068928 | SYSTEM APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR LEACHING METAL AND STORING THERMAL ENERGY DURING METAL EXTRACTION - An environmentally friendly (e.g. no acid, base, or cyanide) system and process for large scale extraction of metal ion into aerobic molten salt (or ionic liquid) and the electrodeposition of metal (e.g. copper, gold, silver, etc.) from the metal ion dissolved in the molten salt. The non-volatile low vapor pressure liquid salt is reusable, and heat from the molten slag can heat the molten salts or ionic liquids. Another embodiment comprises a one-pot apparatus for the extraction of metal (e.g. copper) from metal earths and electrodepositing the metal using a low melting (209° C.) aerated Na—K—Zn chloride salt in which copper metal oxidizes and is converted to soluble copper chloride. When an electrical power supply is connected to the graphite vessel (cathode) and to copper rods in the melt (anodes), then the copper chloride is deposited as copper metal by electroreduction on the bottom of the graphite reaction vessel. | 03-10-2016 |

20090307162 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATED ASSISTANCE WITH TASK MANAGEMENT - The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for assisting with automated task management. In one embodiment, an apparatus for assisting a user in the execution of a task, where the task includes one or more workflows required to accomplish a goal defined by the user, includes a task learner for creating new workflows from user demonstrations, a workflow tracker for identifying and tracking the progress of a current workflow executing on a machine used by the user, a task assistance processor coupled to the workflow tracker, for generating a suggestion based on the progress of the current workflow, and a task executor coupled to the task assistance processor, for manipulating an application on the machine used by the user to carry out the suggestion. | 12-10-2009 |
20100179961 | ELECTRONIC ASSISTANT - The present invention relates to an electronic assistant. In one embodiment, a system for processing data on a computing device includes at least one extractor for extracting data from an email to produce extracted data, a user model for generating a high-level model of an email environment on the computing device, based on the extracted data, and at least one predictor for generating a prediction related to the email, based on the extracted data and on the high-level model. In another embodiment, a system for scheduling an event includes an extractor for extracting constraints from a request for the event, a user model for receiving and storing scheduling preferences from a user, and a predictor coupled to the extractor and to the user model, for generating a candidate schedule for the event in accordance with the constraints and the scheduling preferences. | 07-15-2010 |
20130311411 | Device, Method and System for Monitoring, Predicting, and Accelerating Interactions with a Computing Device - A device, method and system for monitoring, predicting, and accelerating interactions with a computing device includes determining a current interaction context at a computing device based on interactions occurring at the computing device, predicting a number of potential subsequent interactions, speculatively executing at least some of the potential subsequent interactions, and presenting interactive representations of the speculatively-executed interactions at the computing device. | 11-21-2013 |
