  • Publication number: 20250009828
    Abstract: An intra-oral, nanoemulsion blend is provided that enhances liver and toxin excretion performance in mammals when orally administered. A solid powder toxin binding composition also is provided that may be used to irreversibly bind the toxins reaching the bowel so that once the toxins are excreted into the bowel, they may not be reabsorbed, and are thus eliminated. A method of administering the nanoemulsion blend and the toxin binding composition to enhance toxin excretion also is described. The nanoemulsion blend is ingestible and edible.

  • Patent number: 12188742
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for determining whether a user is holding a gun. The gun may include a sensor, such as a laser proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a load cell, an accelerometer, or a biometric sensor, and the gun may determine whether a user is holding the gun based on an output generated by the sensor. A processor housed in the gun may identify activation of a proximity sensor, determine that a user is holding the gun based on the activation of the proximity sensor, and perform an action in response to determining that the user is holding the gun. The action performed by the processor may include performing a boot procedure, performing a health check procedure, visually indicating state information about the gun, audibly indicating state information about the gun, or tactilely indicating state information about the gun.

  • Patent number: 12187502
    Abstract: A bottle assembly has a bottle and a removable cap. The cap includes a nozzle and a vent arrangement. The vent arrangement can include a vent conduit that extends into an air cavity present at the bottom of the bottle assembly when the bottle assembly is inverted. The vent arrangement allows for pressure equalization within the bottom assembly in response to liquid being dispensed from the bottle assembly to permit high flow rates of the dispensed liquid without squeezing of the bottle.

  • Patent number: 12188182
    Abstract: The multi-ply tissue products that are both durable and dispersible may be manufactured using a creping process that employs a non-crosslinked vinyl acetate-ethylene polymer as a creping agent. The products generally have a Slosh time less than 2 minutes, such as less than about 60 seconds, such as less than about 45 seconds. Surprisingly, the foregoing Slosh times are achieved despite the tissue products having relatively high cross-machine direction (CD) wet tensile strength, such as greater than about 100 g/3?. Typically, increasing wet tensile strength, particularly wet CD tensile strength, negatively effects dispersability and increases Slosh time. Despite this trend, the multi-ply tissue products have a relatively high degree of wet strength and good dispersability.

  • Patent number: 12184439
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for configuring structures and environs based on detected users and generic or known itineraries are described. A system may include: a hub having a data store, non-transiently storing computer instructions for a hub tracker engine (THE) and for a hub response engine (HRE) and a processor; a tracker node; and a responding device. The HTE instructs operations including fine or coarse user detection, and tracking operations. The system thereby tracks the user within a structure and determines whether to respond to the user. The HRE configures the responding device as at least one of a current responding device, a next responding device, and a destination responding device. Coarse user detection may include powering-on the tracker node, establishing a tracker link with the hub, communicating a tracker data signal to the hub, and analyzing the tracker data signal for a presence of the user at a location.

  • Patent number: 12184652
    Abstract: Systems and methods for network security are provided. Various embodiments issue single use certificates for validating remote endpoints access to the private network. Some embodiments use a triage zone (or triage gateway) to which remote device can calls into using a static issued certificate. However, instead of granting complete access to the virtual private network, the use of this static certificate only grants access to the triage zone where further validation of the endpoint without any access to sensitive content on the private network. The endpoint can be connected to an ID manager within the triage zone. The endpoint can then send the username and password to the ID manager that can create a single use certificate (e.g., valid for a limited period of time). While valid, the single use certificate can be used by the remote device to gain access to the production zone using a VPN tunnel.
