  • Publication number: 20140046679
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to providing an online health assessment. The online health assessment collects information from an individual and uses the information to identify areas of a person's lifestyle, nutrition, and/or products that pose the greatest risk to future health. The online health assessment can also make recommendations for addressing the areas of greatest risk, as well as make lifestyle, nutrition, and/or product recommendations for assisting the person in improving his lifestyle to improve the areas of risk.

  • Publication number: 20070296875
    Abstract: A display system is configured to produce a color image formed of a plurality of differently colored images and may include at least one light source that directs light along an optical path, and at least one filter having a given optical filter characteristic. The display system may be selectively operable in a first state in which the optical path does not pass through a first filter during production of the plurality of differently colored images to form a color image having a first optical characteristic, and in a second state in which the optical path passes through the first filter during production of the plurality of differently colored images to form a color image having a second optical characteristic different than the first optical characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20070009804
    Abstract: An electrolyte is described that represents a new composition of matter. This electrolyte contains alternating electronegative group III-VI elements connected with hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon linkages to form a polyalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl heteroatomic that is used in combination with magnesium ions. These materials can also be combined with magnesium salts or organometallic (metalloorganic) compounds to form a novel electrolyte for use in electrochemical systems, such as batteries. The new electrolytes exhibit magnesium cation diffusion and transport numbers that are equivalent to standard battery electrolytes, such as carbonates. The new electrolytes are nonflammable which represents a substantial advance in the state of the art, especially as it pertains to safety.

  • Publication number: 20050267102
    Abstract: Matrix metalloprotease inhibiting compounds, pharmaceutical compositions thereof and a method of disease treatment using such compounds are presented. The compounds of the invention have the generalized formulas: wherein r is 0-2, T is selected from and R40 is a mono- or bi-heterocyclic structure. These compounds are useful for inhibiting matrix metalloproteases and, therefore, combating conditions to which MMP's contribute, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, periodontal disease, comeal ulceration, proteinuria, aneurysmal aortic disease, dystrophobic epidermolysis, bullosa, conditions leading to inflammatory responses, osteopenias mediated by MMP activity, tempero mandibularjoint disease, demyelating diseases of the nervous system, tumor metastasis or degenerative cartilage loss following traumatic joint injury, and coronary thrombosis from athrosclerotic plaque rupture.

  • Publication number: 20050083293
    Abstract: A method for adjusting color of images displayed in ambient light. A signal may be sensed from a plurality of spectral regions of an ambient light source to define a sensed signature of the ambient light source. The sensed signature may be compared to predetermined signatures of candidate light sources to identify a candidate light source that corresponds to the ambient light source. Images may be created so that the images are modified by a predefined color adjustment for the candidate light source identified.
