Abstract: The disclosure relates to synthetic linings for the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, “Gastrointestinal Synthetic Epithelial Linings” or “GSELs,” which can modulate absorption of drugs, nutrients, and other substances in the GI tract, and one or more permeation enhancers to aid in such absorption. A GSEL is a temporary lining on the inner surface of the lumen of the GI tract, keeping its active agent (e.g., drug, nutrients, or other substances) in intimate contact with the GI mucosa such that the active agent can be absorbed over long periods of time.

Abstract: An orchestration controller in a storage solution may establish namespaces, assign each namespace to a host, and establish software-defined storage controllers to handle input-output operations between the hosts and the namespaces. Each namespace is assigned to a given host and the input-output operations to and from the namespace are handled by a specific primary software-defined storage controller. In response to failure of the software defined controller, a secondary software-defined storage controller will take over handling of the input-output operations to and from the namespace. Also, in response to the failure of the software-defined storage controller, the host will direct subsequent input-output operations destined for the namespace to the secondary software-defined storage controller.

Abstract: The present invention provides moldable, fully scalable cellulose silica-based hydrogels for use as low-cost and safe carriers and aqueous viscosity modifiers in various industrial and medical applications.
