Arthur Hinkel

Arthur R. "Art" Hinkel (January 9, 1916 – January 17, 1993) was an American electrical engineer best known for developing the Blend Method of electrology.

Hinkel met electrologist Henri St. Pierre in the 1930s while Hinkel worked at the medical division of General Electric. They began work on developing an epilator that combined electrolysis and thermolysis. In 1948, the St. Pierre Epilator Company Inc., owned by St. Pierre and Hinkel, received a patent for a blended current epilator.

Hinkel also owned a chain of electrology businesses. He sold the manufacturing portion of the business in 1984, which still operates under the name A.R. Hinkel.

gollark: This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. I have a bunch of websocket-based things which work fine in Chromium and wscat and whatever else, and appear to work if I run them locally too, but if I both have them behind my reverse proxy (caddy) and use them in Firefox it fails and just says `Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://[the things]`.
gollark: It depends on some patents or something. There's licensing weirdness.
gollark: Maybe it doesn't like HEVC. Who knows.
gollark: Some videos do. I don't know Discord's rules for it. They are probably insane.
