Abstract: The embodiments generally relate to systems and methods for an online marketplace for goods and services. The systems and methods involve a hardware processor that receives attributes for a good or service from the seller terminal, generates pricing data for the good or service using a price estimator and market analyser, and processes the attributes for the good or service using a condition analyzer. The systems and methods facilitate a product or service listing using an interface between a seller terminal and at least one of a dealer terminal, and a buyer terminal to generate and provide a listing for the product or service. The systems and methods can facilitate a product or service listing using an interface between a seller terminal and at least one of a dealer terminal, and a buyer terminal with an auction/transaction conductor to list the product or service, including in an auction in some embodiments.

Abstract: An apparatus for inserting a microneedle into tissue. The apparatus comprises microneedle supported by a backing to move therewith and a forcer that is selectably operable between a retracted state and an extended state. Upon operation of the forcer from the retracted state to the extended state, the forcer applies force to the backing which causes the backing to travel in an insertion direction toward the tissue. A releasable locking mechanism which, in a locking state, permits one-way motion of the backing in the insertion direction toward the tissue and lockingly engages the backing to prevent motion of the backing in a reverse direction opposed to the insertion direction, the releasable locking mechanism releasable, to a released state, which permits motion of the backing in the reverse direction.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting microneedles are provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of pedestals extending away from a base and transversely spaced-apart from each other by inter-pedestal volumes. Each of the pedestals has a transversely extending contact surface. For each of the pedestals, one or more microneedles extend from the contact surface of the pedestal.

Abstract: The adhesive compositions that include starch derivatives, plasticizers, optionally cellulose derivatives, and optionally other additives. By tailoring the composition and concentration of these components, hot melt adhesive compositions, hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive compositions, and pressure sensitive adhesives have been produced. Further, these adhesive compositions may be useful in articles including diapers, laminates, repositionable advertisements, and many more.
