Abstract: A method for fabricating a spectacle frame made of a cellulose acetate sheet embedded with the metal piece, where the metal piece is embedded between a main material and auxiliary materials; the metal piece, the main material, and the auxiliary materials are tightly bonded by pressing by a hydraulic press. Since the metal piece is not in contact with a human body, there will be no corrosion problems. The composite plate structure resulting from splicing of the main material and the auxiliary materials have better mechanical performance.

Abstract: The present invention demonstrates the therapeutic use of ketone esters for seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease and malignant brain cancer, which are associated with metabolic dysregulation. The administration of ketone esters resulted therapeutic ketosis and neuroprotection against seizures resulting from CNS oxygen toxicity. Supplemental ketones were also found to reduce superoxide production in cultured cortex neurons exposed to hyperbaric oxygen and A?-42, and to decrease proliferation and viability in U87 glioma cells. These observations support the therapeutic effect of ketones for seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease and malignant brain cancer. The ketone esters may be derived from acetoacetate and can include R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate monoester, R,S-1,3-butanediol acetoacetate diester, or a combination of the two.

Abstract: Search result-based listing generation in a single view is described. Initially, search query input is received via a user interface and, as it is received, a listing system presents obtained search results via the user interface. The listing system supports generation of listings from search results, in part, by employing a listing schema that defines attributes for listings. Responsive to selection of a search result, for instance, the listing system identifies information of the selected search result corresponding to these attributes. The listing system then configures the user interface to present, concurrently with the search results, a listing template with this information. These listing templates are the basis for generating listings exposed to client devices by a distribution platform. Responsive to input to submit a listing, for instance, the listing system forms the listing from the information in the listing template and communicates the listing to the distribution platform.
