A modulated light source illuminates a target surface which possesses a certain color and shade of color. Light that is reflected from the target surface is detected by an optical detector. The output is compensated for any shift caused by ambient light, temperature of other external factors and demodulated to produce a substantially steady DC voltage that is indicative of the color or shade of co...

A ring electrode structure having a raised radial dimension. The electrode projects from the outer diameter of the catheter when mounted thereon. The upstanding ring electrode has a tissue contacting surface that generally contacts tissue within a patient before the catheter itself comes into contact with the tissue. The electrode ensures good and uniform tissue contact for each electrode mounted ...

This invention is a device that isolates hairs into groups when run through hair on a human head such that they may be processed in various ways by attaching hair extensions, reshaping the cross-sectional diameters of individual hairs, precise cutting of the hairs, applying colorants, and applying permanent curling chemicals. The device includes a tensioning hair straightener (C) which allows the ...
