Abstract: Nutraceutical or pharmaceutical compositions, functional foods, extracts, dietary supplements and food/feed additives enriched in phytochemicals having antioxidant and/or anti-inflammatory activity may be derived from the skin, pith, or cortex from stem tubers of select potato cultivars, such as Onaway, Russet Burbank, Purple Valley or Bora Valley cultivars. These cultivars and combinations thereof provide a useful antioxidant source enriched in ferulic acid, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acids, ascorbic acid, anthocyanins, and rutin, isomers or derivatives thereof having antioxidant and/or anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract: Nutraceutical or pharmaceutical compositions, functional foods, extracts, dietary supplements and food/feed additives enriched in phytochemicals having antioxidant and/or anti-inflammatory activity may be derived from the skin, pith, or cortex from stem tubers of select potato cultivars, including an Onaway potato cultivar optionally complemented by a Russet Burbank, Purple Valley or Bora Valley cultivar. These cultivars and combinations thereof provide a useful antioxidant source enriched in ferulic acid, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acids, ascorbic acid, anthocyanins, and rutin, isomers or derivatives thereof having antioxidant and/or anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract: A valve assembly including a main body (13,24) with a cavity (25) having an aperture (35a) formed through the main body and channels (26) formed radially in the cavity wall. A seal member (18) is shaped to fit within the cavity such that when the seal member moves away from the aperture flow is permitted in the channel toward and through the aperture. The valve is for incorporation with a tap device, particularly for use with a “mini-keg” of beverage.

Abstract: A device for blending and dispensing liquid compositions includes an arrangement of components that provide an efficient dispenser for home and personal use. The device may include a plurality of cartridges and a plurality of pumps. Each of the cartridges contains a liquid additive and may be removably attached to the dispenser. Each of the pumps is connected to one of the cartridges and can be activated to draw a desired amount of liquid from that cartridge. The device may also include a spinning element for both mixing and dispensing the liquid composition. The liquids may flow out of the cartridges to one or more inlets near the surface of the spinning element and be mixed as they flow over the surface of the spinning element. The spinning element may also be selectively movable from a closed position sealing the dispensing outlet to an open position that provides a pathway for liquid to be dispensed from the device.

Abstract: A conditioning composition comprised of a mixture of anionic, amphoteric, and nonionic surfactants, branched quaternary polymers, and silicone which imparts cleansing, wet detangling, dry detangling and manageability to hair and which is relatively non-irritating and thus suitable for use by young children and adults having sensitive skin and eyes. The conditioning composition is able to provide such benefits in an aesthetically pleasing formulation without the need for suspending agents, opacifiers, or pearlizing agents.

Abstract: A fully automatic personal security system including a mobile unit which communicates emergency data including position coordinates, vehicle and personal data, and a central dispatch station which receives the emergency data and accurately displays all necessary emergency information superposed on a digitized map at a position corresponding to the location of the mobile unit. The personal security system also includes a hand-held remote "panic button" unit to allow a call for help from the general location around the vehicle.
