Abstract: An apparatus, a kit and a method for non-invasively determining hemoglobin levels are provided. The apparatus comprising: a box defining an interior space comprising: (a) un upper opening adopted to allow a camera placed on top of the box, to capture images of a subject's hand placed inside the interior space; and (b) a side opening configured for an insertion of said subject's hand; an adaptor, attached to an upper face to the box, for holding the camera and ensuing a location of the camera lens above the upper opening; a placement pad located at a bottom of the box, having a texture configured to direct said subject to place a hand portion comprising a nail and skin in a direction facing a lens of said camera, such that, a field of view of said camera captures the nail and the skin.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for determining predisposition to developing a metabolic syndrome or a condition associated therewith in a subject including determining the bacterial diversity in a facial skin of the subject. Further provided is a method for treating or preventing a metabolic syndrome or a condition associated therewith in a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the suitability of a subject to a skin barrier restoration therapy. Further provided is a method of selecting and preventing an IgE-related disease in a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating iron deficiency in a subject comprising noninvasively determining the hemoglobin level in the subject, and providing the subject with an iron supplement accordingly.

Abstract: The subject invention includes a composition comprising at least one triglyceride, at least one phospholipid and at least one poly-unsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA); wherein at least about 1% of the LC-PUFA in the composition is conjugated to said phospholipid and uses thereof.

Abstract: The subject invention thus provides a composition comprising at least one triglyceride, at least one phospholipid and at least one poly-unsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA); wherein at least about 1% of the LC-PUFA in the composition is conjugated to said at least one phospholipid and uses thereof.

Abstract: An electrical appliance comprising a connection to a power source and a principle electrical load, wherein the appliance additionally comprises at least one inductive power outlet, the inductive power outlet comprising: at least one driver, connectable to the power source, the driver for providing an oscillating voltage supply; and at least one primary inductive coil connected to the driver, the primary inductive coil for inductively coupling with an external secondary inductive coil wired to a second electrical load.

Abstract: Lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) management is described. In an implementation, a method includes exposing a user interface suitable for receiving inputs from a user that specify whether execution of a particular lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) action is permitted. A policy is configured based on the inputs, for managing lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) traffic on a network.

Abstract: A distributed policy model for access control is disclosed. In an enterprise-only mode, each node within a networking environment has its resource access governed by the same enterprise-wide policy. The enterprise-wide policy is set through creation of one or more enterprise policy objects. In an integrated mode, nodes are organized in a number of arrays. Each array has an array-wide policy set through creation of an array policy object. Each array-wide policy initially inherits the enterprise-wide policy. Additional resource access and protocol use restrictions can be added to the individual array-wide policies. In an array-only mode, each array has an array-wide policy also set through creation of an array policy object, but the policy does not necessarily initially inherit an enterprise-wide policy. In a stand-alone mode, a single server has its own policy.

Abstract: A streaming media caching mechanism and cache manager efficiently establish and maintain the contents of a streaming media cache for use in serving streaming media requests from cache rather than from an original data source when appropriate. The cost of caching is incurred only when the benefits of caching are likely to be experienced. The caching mechanism and cache manager evaluate the request count for each requested URL to determine whether the URL represents a cache candidate, and further analyze the URL request rate to determine whether the content associated with the URL will be cached. In an embodiment, the streaming media cache is maintained with a predetermined amount of reserve capacity rather than being filled to capacity whenever possible.

Abstract: Lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) management is described. In an implementation, a method includes intercepting data, configured according to a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP), for communication between a client and a server. One or more polices are applied to the data to determine whether performance of an LDAP action specified in the data is permitted. When the performance is not authorized, the LDAP action is modified such that performance of the modified LDAP action is permitted.
