Abstract: Magnetic buckle assemblies and associated methods of use with child seats and other restraint systems are disclosed herein. A restraint system configured in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first web connector and a second web connector configured to releasably engage the first web connector. The restraint system can further include a magnet positioned on at least one of the first and second web connectors. The magnet can be configured to hold the first and second web connectors together such that they can be simultaneously inserted into a corresponding buckle.

Abstract: This invention provides lipids having: 1) a glycerol backbone; 2) a hydrocarbon chain, preferably saturated and containing 16 or 18 carbon atoms, attached to C-1 of the backbone by an ether linkage, 3) a methyl group attached to C-2 of the backbone, preferably by an ether linkage; and, 4) a sugar attached to C-3 of the glycerol backbone in either the alpha or beta anomeric configuration, the sugar being altered by modification of, or substitution for, one or more of its hydroxyl groups. Also provided herein are ether-lipid-containing compositions, as well as methods of administering such compositions to animals, for example, those afflicted with cancers, as well as various other diseases and disorders.
