Abstract: The present application discloses a number of inventions directed to method(s), apparatus and/or networks and systems adapted to track time varying channels, adapted to synchronize packets arriving at a receiver, adapted to correlate a received signal, adapted to manage digital resources, adapted to receive a signal and/or adapted to enable communication in a wireless packet based communications network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an oxidative hair colouring and bleaching composition comprising an oxidizing agent, a source of carbonate ions, an alkalising agent, and specific dyes, as defined herein below, utilised at pH 9.5 and below which improve colour delivery and intensity, excellent dye deposition and colour and improved grey coverage, particularly for dark shades such as brown or black. Moreover, the compositions of the present invention also exhibit low odour and deliver a high level of lift and lightening equal to the currently utilised ammonia/peroxide systems, whilst reducing the concentration of peroxide and reducing the hair fibre damage.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing and storing elemental Oxygen on the lunar surface where it can be used by humans to establish and maintain colonies. The Oxygen is produced by robotic miners who strip mine the lunar fines from the surface, subject them to an initial screening step for size, and then refine them through a series of steps to produce elemental Oxygen, elemental Silicon, elemental Titanium, elemental Aluminum, elemental Iron, elemental Calcium, elemental Magnesium and smaller amounts of Sodium and Potassium. The refined Oxygen can be stored in solid form as ingots or pellets or powder as long as it is not subjected to warmth. To prevent sublimation and for human convenience, the robotic mining apparatus can be programmed to produce bottles of the elemental silicon and caps of the Aluminum. It could then place Oxygen inside the bottles and cap them before storing them conveniently in a shady place.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to respiratory tract compositions, particularly nasal compositions, that are highly effective in the prevention and treatment of cold and influenza-like symptoms due to respiratory tract viral infections. These compositions comprise chelated and unchelated zinc ions, wherein the quantity of chelated zinc ions is at least about 50.1%.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to liquid compositions having improved delivery of pharmaceutical actives. These compositions comprise pharmaceutical actives, solvent and a reducing agent. These compositions may take the form of liquid elixirs placed into the mouth by liquid-filled drops, metered liquid dosing devices, atomizers and liquid-releasing, edible capsules.

Abstract: The methods of the present invention address a critical need for the development of preparative chiral separations. These include preparative chiral separation methods based on continuous electrophoresis using a chiral additive in the buffer. The application of continuous free flow electrophoresis to bulk scale aqueous chiral separations is novel and has the potential for obtaining mg to g/hour quantities of both pure enantiomers of chiral drugs in aqueous solution, with wide applicability for a broad range of chiral drugs from many different categories as well as chiral intermediates or metabolites. The present methods allow for the potential recovery and reuse of the chiral selector (typically expensive and/or rare). Although continuous free flow electrophoresis has been used primarily for the separation of biopolymers, its use for the separation of small molecules has remained relatively unexplored.
