Abstract: Compositions are described that include a betacryptoxanthin extract, rich in trans-betacryptoxanthin, which are prepared by a cost and time effective process and are for use in methods of enhancing cardio-respiratory fitness for physical performance and exercise endurance and to maintain healthy lung function. Betacryptoxanthin extract is prepared by a cost and time effective process of saponification and column chromatography, in which saponification cycle time, solvent amount, column separation time and silica amount are reduced, thus making it industrially viable. Betacryptoxanthin compositions increase exercise time, endurance performance, and lung capacity and maintain healthy lung and cardiovascular function during such physical activities. The compositions also improve physical performance, attenuate muscle fatigue, and enhance aerobic respiration utilization capacity.

Beta-cryptoxanthin compositions and methods herein can reduce body weight, body fat, glucose levels, and free fatty acids, when administered in effective amounts. The compositions and methods herein can also reduce oxidative stress on organs such as the eye and liver and/or reduce inflammatory and/or oxidative markers, when administered to subjects in need thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for a wireless communication network including detecting a trigger to switch a serving channel at a first access point, and communicating a first channel switch message from the first access point to a second access point. The first access point may be in a downstream and/or upstream or communication flow in relation to the second access point. The process may include communicating a first Channel Switching Announcement (CSA) message from the second access point to at least one client of the second access point, where the least one client is one of a plurality of clients receiving internet connectivity through a series of communication flows including a data flow through the second access point. The process further includes revising a time to switch channel information included in the first channel switch message, where the first CSA message includes the revised time to switch channel information.

Abstract: Xanthophyll compositions and their methods of use are described, where the compositions include macular pigments as lutein and/or zeaxanthin isomers, and where they are administered in an effective amount for skin lightening and/or improving overall skin tone and/or health in a subject in need thereof. Methods for treatment are described for improvement and/or protection of skin from effects of light rays of variable intensity and/or wavelength on skin tone and/or skin health. Methods herein include administering a xanthophyll composition for skin lightening and/or improving skin tone and/or overall skin health, and to block the melanin pathway and formation of melanin in melanocytes. The compositions and their administration exhibit increased Individual Typological Angle and minimum erythemal dose, which results in rapid skin lightening.

Abstract: A method for protection, treatment and improvement of liver health includes administering a meso-zeaxanthin composition in an effective amount to a subject in need thereof. In particular, methods are described of administering a meso-zexanthin composition to a subject fed with high fat diet (HFD), and studying the effect of meso-zeaxanthin for treatment of fatty liver condition, through evaluation of various parameters such as biochemical indicators, anti-inflammatory markers, and nutritional markers.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and techniques for applying color adjustments to a display. In certain embodiments, the color adjustment techniques may be employed to transition current color correction values, which are based on a previously detected temperature of the display, to target correction values, which are based on a presently detected temperature of the display. Adjustment increments for each color channel of the display may be determined based on the color channel that has the largest difference between the current color correction value and the target color correction value. In particular, the number of adjustment steps may be determined so that the adjustment increment for each channel is less than or equal to a maximum adjustment increment.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a document is marked with an identifier and stored in a memory. Responsive to a request received from a user to perform an operation upon the document or a copy of the document at a requester computer, a database is accessed. The database is a database associating users authorized to access the documents or copies of the documents with operations the users are authorized to perform is accessed. Operation authorization is determined at least in part according to a document threat index. Upon determining the user is an authorized user and determining via the database the requested operation is an authorized operation, an access code is sent to the requester computer to enable the operation.

Abstract: In a multifunctional printing method and printing system, printed material is checked, verified and tracked. For that purpose different test equipments are located in-line with a printing line. Magnetic information being printed by a printing station onto the recording carrier using magnetic ink character readable toner may be in-line tested by a magnetic test equipment, which reads information from the magnetic recording zone on the carrier. Optical information may be tested by an in-line mounted optical test equipment, respectively. Further in-line test equipment is proposed such as a laser bar code scanner and an address reader. The printing line may have additional devices such as print preprocessing unwinders or print postprocessing stackers, folders or cutters.
