Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for treating, mitigating, managing, reducing or preventing the onset of symptoms, signs or indicators of liver disorders as well as the disorders themselves. The compositions and methods include microbial compositions that are selected to improve gut function in the subjects to which they are administered, so as to bring about treatment of liver disorders and/or the signs, symptoms and indicators of those disorders.

Abstract: Administering a composition comprising at least one mucin-regulating and at least one butyrate-producing microbe can provide a therapeutic effect for subjects having prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Therapeutic effects can include a reduction in hemoglobin A1C levels, a reduction in glucose area under the curve after a meal tolerance test, or a reduction in the fasting glucose level.

Abstract: This invention is a hard sided pop-up truck camper that fits on an ordinary pickup truck. When folded down, it looks like a typical pickup truck topper and will allow the truck to fit into a garage. The folding sides take up less than 6 inches of height when folded which maximizes its use as a topper for hauling while also maximizing the vertical height when erected so it can be used as a camper. When erected, it allows a person to stand upright throughout the inside of the camper. Current hard sided pop-up truck campers are designed to extend by raising straight up mechanically, the sides do not fold down upon themselves like this invention does. Also, current hard sided pop-up truck campers in the down position typically extend above the cab of the truck making them too high to fit through a garage door.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems facilitating the creation, management and implementation of image histories associated with use of telepresence systems. The present invention extends and enhances the capabilities of current telepresence systems for both users and systems administrators.

Abstract: A lightweight pneumatic powered portable scrubbing tool is disclosed having a scrubbing brush member that is rotated by a cylindrically-shaped elongated air powered motor. The brush member has a substantially circular mounting plate and a plurality of bristles affixed to a surface of the plate. At least a portion of the bristles are adjacent the periphery of the plate and are directed at an angle outwardly therefrom. The motor shaft is affixed to the brush member and supports the brush member. The motor housing is pivotably connected to an elongated main support pole, having an air supply hose disposed therewithin and along the length thereof. The air supply hose exits from a peripheral portion of the main support pole and is interconnected with the motor. A quick-disconnect fitting is mounted on an opposite end of the main support pole, i.e., remote from the motor, for interconnection with a fluid source, or a secondary main support pole.

Abstract: A lightweight pneumatic powered portable scrubbing tool is disclosed, having a scrubbing brush member that is rotated by a cylindrically-shaped elongated air powered motor. The motor shaft is affixed to the brush member and supports the brush member. The motor housing is pivotally connected to an elongated main support pole, having an air supply hose disposed therewithin and along the length thereof. The air supply hose exits, through a union, from a peripheral portion of the main support pole and is interconnected with the motor. A fitting is mounted on an opposite end of the main support pole, i.e., remote from the motor, for interconnection with a fluid source through an air hose. An extension support pole fits over the main support pole and can be extended to a preselected position along the length of the main support pole. Rotation of the extension support pole in either direction relative to the main support pole permits locking of the extension pole to the main pole.
