Abstract: A personal cleansing composition having comprising a physiologically active amount of carnosine, wherein the personal cleansing composition is in the form of a shower gel, bubble bath, soap, or water-soluble delivery agent. The personal cleansing composition further comprises physiologically active ingredients including magnesium salt and caffeine in an amount of approximately 0.1% to 1.0% by weight of the total composition. The carnosine and magnesium salt form a carnosine-magnesium complex on activation with water, and wherein the personal cleansing composition further comprises transdermal absorption enhancers for the delivery of the physiologically active ingredients selected from the group consisting of salicylic acid in an amount of approximately 0.5% to 2.0% by weight of the total composition and azone oil in an amount of approximately 0.25% to 1% by weight of the total composition.

Abstract: A cane with grasping fingers. The cane includes a hollow shaft having a first end and a second end, a grasping mechanism within the first end of the shaft, and a release mechanism adjacent to the second end of the shaft. The release mechanism includes a handle, a trigger within the handle, and a release button. Pressing the release button extends the trigger beyond the handle and extends the grasping fingers beyond the first end of the shaft so that the grasping fingers are separated by a first distance. Squeezing the handle retracts the grasping fingers and reduces the distance between the grasping fingers to a second distance less than the first distance. Squeezing the handle so that the grasping fingers are fully retracted into the first end of the shaft results in the trigger and the grasping mechanism being locked into place until the release button is pressed again.

Abstract: A timer assembly is slidably received within a channel support (120) for mounting on a work surface (280). The timer assembly (200) includes a set of controls (204). The assembly (200) is connectable to a simplex receptacle (142) for controlling the times at which the simplex receptable (142) is enabled and disabled. A remote control device (286) is operable by a user for transmitting spatial signals to the timer assembly (200) so as to control the timer assembly (200).

Abstract: A camera interface module is disclosed. The camera interface module has a first connector on one side configured to couple with a camera dock. The camera interface module has a second smaller connector on a second side configured to couple to a camera. The camera interface module has a standard input/output (I/O) connector and a power jack on a third side.

Abstract: A digital camera is disclosed herein. An embodiment of the digital camera comprises a display, wherein previously captured images are displayable on the display when the camera is in a first mode. Images of scenes that are capturable by the camera are displayable on the display when the camera is in a second mode. A touch pad is located proximate the display. Contact of a stylus on the touch pad causes the display to display different previously captured images when the camera is in the first mode. At least one icon representative of at least one function is displayable on the display when the camera is in the second mode. Contact by a stylus on the touch pad proximate the icon causes the at least one function to activate.

Abstract: Devices sharing battery charging resources coordinate use of a high-current charging mode through use of a message protocol between the devices. While a high-priority device is using the high-current charging mode, the other devices may continue charging in a reduced-current charging mode.
