Abstract: Disclosed are composition and methods for treating skin whereby a cosmetic composition is applied to a target area of skin. The cosmetic composition comprises an effective amount of a skin active agent. A barrier patch is also provided and has a backing layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive. The barrier patch has an adhesive release force of about 50 gms to about 400 gms; a WVTR from about 1 g/m2/24 h to about 500 g/m2/24 h; and a flexibility from about 8 grams to about 40 grams.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for optimizing a developer's ability to find and navigate relevant documents, relationships, and other information related to an identifier in the code they are developing. An inline viewport is presented to the user in response to the user selecting an identifier in the code whereby the user is able to see relevant information related to the identifier in a spatially consistent location with the code they are investigating. Further, the developer has the ability to make changes to the code in the viewport without leaving the current editor.

Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a method that can include: sending software to a first information device and to a second information device, the software adapted to cause display of information regarding user-selected items; and providing content to the software running on the second information device, the software adapted to cause the content to be rendered via the second information device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for optimizing a developer's ability to find and navigate relevant documents, relationships, and other information related to an identifier in the code they are developing. An inline viewport is presented to the user in response to the user selecting an identifier in the code whereby the user is able to see relevant information related to the identifier in a spatially consistent location with the code they are investigating. The developer further has the ability to cascade the viewports such that multiple levels of depth of relationships can be viewed in the viewport.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a communications component to receive a specified variable and one or more specified criteria to select a final clustered representation of a network, the specified criteria including a maximum degree of loss of information for the specified variable for the final clustered representation; and an iterative collapse component to perform iteration(s) of deriving the final clustered representation.

Abstract: Devices which store data for a period of time. In one form, devices store data in which the data store is subject to periodic and/or relatively short power outages. In one example, a radio frequency identification (“RFID”) transponder, and more particularly, a RFID transponder that is used in orientation independent applications, is disclosed. Other applications are directed to devices used where a supply power is intermittent. In a first aspect of embodiments described herein, there is disclosed a method of and/or device that includes a memory adapted to store data, a supply of power adapted to provide supply power to the memory, a path of leakage, the leakage path serving, over time, to diminish the integrity of data stored in the memory, and a leakage attenuator adapted to selectively attenuate the rate of leakage.

Abstract: An inline view port is presented to a user in response to the user selecting an identifier in the code whereby the user is able to see relevant information related to the identifier in a spatially consistent location with the code that is being investigated. The user further has the ability to dive further into portions of the viewport document without having to leave the current editor, drive into additionally relevant portions of code through the viewport, and cascade the viewports such that multiple levels of depth of relationships can be viewed in the viewport.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of preparing a ready-to-eat farinaceous food product, said method comprising the successive steps of: a) preparing a farinaceous dough by mixing flour, water and optionally one or more other bakery ingredients; b) dividing the dough into one or more dough portions; c) shaping the one or more dough portions into one or more shaped dough pieces; d) proving the dough pieces; e) contacting 30-60% of the total surface area of the one or more shaped dough pieces with hot oil during a period of at least 10 seconds to produce one or more partially fried dough pieces comprising a fried surface area and a non-fried surface area; and f) baking said one or more partially fried dough pieces to produce one or more baked dough pieces; wherein a layer of edible material is applied to 40-70% of the surface area of the shaped dough pieces, the partially fried dough pieces or the baked dough pieces and wherein the surface area of the final ready-to-eat product that is not covered by the layer o

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a video collection are provided. The method includes presenting a competitive channel for submitting video content via a computing device; creating a challenge to solicit video content from a plurality of users, where the challenge is defined by a plurality of challenge attributes stored at a memory device; accepting one or more videos from at least some of the plurality of users; accepting votes from at least some of the plurality of users to select a subset of the posted videos; and archiving at least some of the posted videos to a video collection accessible via the computing device.

Abstract: Multi-faceted relationship hubs can support browsing an extensible set of relationship types from within a single tool window. A user can switch between relationship types within a single tool window without disrupting user flow by having to change context in a plurality of tool windows. Multiple instances of relationship hubs can be created. Browsing navigation history can be stored, allowing a user to maintain and reacquire relationship contexts. A user can preview the content of one or more files without opening the file.
