Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for a universal collaboration adapter for web editors are described herein. In one aspect, the method executed by one or more computers in a network of computers includes analyzing a document object model (DOM) representing a document in a tree structure and identifying an event or manipulation associated with the DOM. Typically, the DOM manipulations correspond to the document manipulations. An operation corresponding to the identified event is selected. The operation is sent to a generic collaboration engine for transmission to a server. The server transmits the operation to various participants for collaborative editing. The identification of the DOM manipulations (instead of editor-specific manipulations) provides a universal collaboration adapter for various editors. Further, recording or identifying local DOM manipulations and replaying remote DOM manipulations enable transforming a single-user web editor into the multi-user or collaborative web editor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a dry extract from the fruit of Piper cubeba L., which characterized in that, in a first step, the fruit of Piper cubeba L. either is subjected to a steam distillation for the removal of essential oils and the distillate is removed or extracted at least once with a lipophilic phase and the lipophilic extract or extracts are removed; in a second step, the fruit, so treated, is extracted at least once either with at least one alcohol or with a mixture of at least one alcohol and water; and, in a third step, the extracted fruit parts are removed and an auxiliary material is added to the extract so obtained, which is then concentrated to a thick extract with an alcohol concentration of 0.1 to 10% (w/w), then dried and recovered.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of an extract from a plant of the Turneraceae family, comprising the steps of: extracting plant parts with an extractant containing, in addition to water, an organic solvent selected from methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, acetone and mixtures thereof; concentrating the extracts to form a viscous extract; enriching the lipophilic substances to form a concentrate.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition comprising an aqueous and/or organic extract of at least one Chamomilla plant and/or of at least one Achillea plant for the treatment of an abnormal proliferative and/or viral condition, with the proviso that for the treatment of said abnormal proliferative condition the mono/single extract of Achillea millefolium (L.) is excluded, and with the further proviso that for the treatment of said viral condition the mono/single extract of Matricaria chamomilla (L.) is excluded.

Abstract: The invention concerns multi-layer films for back-molding with a liquid plastic material in an inmold process for the production of a decorated injection molded article of high optical quality and utilitarian suitability, in particular having curved surfaces, wherein the multi-layer film has at least one replication lacquer layer which at least on one of its surfaces has a spatial structure producing a visually perceptible and/or technical effect, wherein a contrast layer which is preferably in the form of a reflection layer is arranged in adjoining relationship with at least one surface with a spatial structure at least in region-wise manner. The invention further concerns an injection molded article which is decorated with a multi-layer film and a process for the production of the article.
