Abstract: A consumable is provided. The consumable includes (a) at least one sweetener, and (b) a sweetness modifier comprising an extract or fraction from Gnaphalium affine or at least one flavonoid compound. The at least one sweetener is present is a sweetening amount.

Abstract: A rock bolt for installation within a bore formed in rock strata having an elongate shaft with the leading end for installation into the bore and a trailing end projecting from an open end of the bore. A locking nut is threadably attached to the trailing end and is arranged to display product information and the like at a display face. The display face is recessed axially into the nut to provide protection against damage to the display face that may otherwise render the information unreadable.

Abstract: An active target has a target face that is backlit by LEDs, where a detection layer behind the target face detects a new projectile hole in the target, such as from a gun or an arrow. The detection layer may be formed of one or more resistive layers, and the detected increase in resistance due to a new projectile hole being created is sensed and correlated to an XY position of the hole. The location of the new hole is transmitted via an RF signal to the shooter's portable device, such as a smartphone, and the shooter sees the location of the hit relative to the target face in real time. The LEDs may be dynamically controlled. The target is disposable and is supported by a support base containing the control electronics and transmitter.

Abstract: Light emitting elements with preselected or adjustable impedance characteristics are provided. Embodiments using a preselected impedance characteristic obtain significant performance benefits compared to the prior art. Embodiments having an adjustable impedance may alter the impedance associated with the light emitting component such that it has a substantially constant resistive or reactive impedance that improves certain performance attributes. This solution virtually eliminates the need for external compensation components and relieves the burden of impedance matching and circuit specialization from the driver circuit.
