Abstract: The present invention includes compositions and methods for modifying the expression of microRNAs comprising: one or more plant secondary metabolites capable of beneficially regulating different genes in the human genome by modifying the expression of one or more microRNAs, wherein the one or more plant secondary metabolites are selected and provided in an amount selected to target the modification of one or more specific microRNA.

Abstract: The present invention includes an apparatus and method for aiding mood, emotion, or physiological state comprising: a substrate that is capable of capturing or absorbing one or more organic compounds from a subject having a first physiologic or emotional state at a first time; and an element that is capable of controlling the capture of the one or more organic compounds at a first time, or the release of the one or more organic compounds from the substrate at a second time, wherein exposure to an effective amount of the organic compounds changes the mood, emotion, or physiological state of the subject.

Abstract: A cabin for accommodating at least one of passengers and goods, including an opening and a holder fastened to the cabin for holding a glazing unit in the opening. The cabin includes at least two connection members that each include a first fastening part connected to the glazing unit and a second fastening part connected to the cabin. The glazing unit is secured in the region of the opening when the glazing unit has detached from the holder. The glazing unit can, for example, be pressed out of the holder as a result of persons carried in the cabin violently pushing or striking the inner side of the glazing unit. However, the connection member prevents these persons from falling downwards out of the cabin. The glazing unit is also prevented from falling. As a result, safety of the passengers and/or goods in the cabin is ensured.

Abstract: An aerial cable car system including transportation operating equipment for passenger and/or freight transport, wherein electrical consumers are connected for operation thereof to a rechargeable electrical energy store of a transportation operating equipment by a respective power circuit. The transportation operating equipment includes an operating control device connected to measuring devices for dynamically capturing measurement values based on available quantity of energy in the energy store. The operating control device includes a storage module having at least one stored measurement control value and an associated control parameter. The operating control device includes a filter module comparing a captured measurement value to the at least one stored measurement control value and reading out corresponding stored control parameter, based on which power circuits can be selectively coupled or decoupled to the energy store by the operating control device.

Abstract: The cars of a passenger transport means are provided with a sensor (3) which scans the state of the locking mechanism and with a transponder antenna (5) which is fitted to the outside of the car (1), and the stations (6) contain transmission antennas (7) which poll signals from the transponder antenna in contactless fashion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ski transport device (1) for transporting skis, having at least one ski holder (10) for accommodating a ski end (901) of a single ski (90) or of a pair of skis (90). Each ski (90) is oriented in the ski holder (10) approximately vertically in the ski longitudinal direction (R). The ski holder (10) has two retaining walls (101) which converge downwardly and together form an acute angle ?. The ski holder (10) has a fixation element (20) situated at or above upper ends (1010) of the retaining walls (101), having fixation points (201) for engaging at various cross-sectional points (902) of the ski (90) or the pair of skis (90).

Abstract: In the process for producing dental prostheses such as bridges, crowns implants, etc. from ceramic material, production is carried out at least by way of one CAD/CAM machining station. The ceramic material to be worked consists of an unsintered disk-shaped blank or one which has not been subjected to final sintering, working of the blank into dental prostheses being undertaken at a right angle or quasi-right angle to the parallel or quasi-parallel surfaces of the blank.

Abstract: A conveying device for metering of bulk material includes a sleeve having an interior region having an inner threaded groove. The threaded groove is disrupted by a plurality of cross-wise extending compensating grooves. The conveying device further includes a rotatable part, at least a portion of the rotatable part being disposed inside of the interior region of the sleeve. The rotatable part has one or more flexible first bodies, an outermost point of the first bodies extending to an inner wall of the sleeve. The device conveys bulk material as the rotatable part rotates such that the first bodies move along the threaded groove from one compensating groove to a next compensating groove.
