Abstract: Methods of making orally available softgels includes pre-wetting a probiotic with an edible oil to produce a wetted supplement, wherein the edible oil is present in a range of 25% to 75% by weight of a total weight of the probiotic and edible oil, heating the wetted supplement to a temperature in a range of 35° C. to 40° C., blending the wetted supplement and a molten chocolate component together to produce a liquid fill material, encapsulating the liquid fill material in a softgel coating to produce an orally available softgel, and cooling the orally available softgel to have a softgel capsule shell comprising 5% to 15% by weight water. The fill material is a solid at room temperature in the cooled orally available softgel.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a request to set verification settings for a payment aggregator computing system; determining an alias account number for a transaction account based on account information; transmitting a request to the payment aggregator computing system to store the alias account number instead of the account information; receiving a transaction request from the payment aggregator computing system; implementing a verification policy comprising a first sub-policy and a second sub-policy, based on the verification settings corresponding to the alias account number and a threshold transaction amount, including: determining a predetermined threshold of a monetary amount, determining a first sub-policy monetary amount, comparing the first sub-policy monetary amount to the predetermined threshold, determining that the first sub-policy monetary amount does not meet the predetermined threshold, implementing the second sub-policy, generating and transmitting an electronic message comprising a selectable

Abstract: Computer systems and methods incorporate user annotations (metadata) regarding various pages or sites, including annotations by a querying user and by members of a trust network defined for the querying user into search and browsing of a corpus such as the World Wide Web. A trust network is defined for each user, and annotations by any member of a first user's trust network are made visible to the first user during search and/or browsing of the corpus. Users can also limit searches to content annotated by members of their trust networks or by members of a community selected by the user.

Abstract: Embodiments of an artificial meniscus implant are disclosed herein. An artificial meniscus includes at least one circumferential fiber and at least one non-circumferential fiber embedded within an arc-shaped body. The non-circumferential fibers may form loops extending through a peripheral edge of the implant, and the circumferential fibers may extend out of anterior and posterior horns of the implant to terminate in ends that are configured for fixation to bone. The ends may be interconnected, and covered by horn extensions to protect the ends from wear at the bone interface. Methods of making and implanting artificial meniscus are also disclosed herein. The method of making includes stepwise molding, layering, and curing of polymer material around the circumferential fibers and sewing the non-circumferential fibers into the polymer material. Methods of implanting may include threading ends of circumferential fibers through first and second bone tunnels.

Abstract: Computer systems and methods allow users to annotate content items found in a corpus such as the World Wide Web Annotations, which can include any descriptive and/or evaluative metadata related to a document, are collected from a user and stored in association with that user. Users are able to annotate and view their annotations for any document they encounter while interacting with the corpus, including hits returned in a search of the corpus. Users are also able to search their annotations or to limit searches to documents they have annotated. Metadata from annotations can also be aggregated across users and aggregated metadata applied in generating search results.

Abstract: The disclosure may relate to implant systems, kits, implants, devices, and associated methods that can quickly, easily and accurately deliver a soft tissue implant with minimal incisions/trauma to surrounding tissue. The soft implant may include one or more features disposed on or within the implant configured to engage an implant insertion tool. The one or more features may include one or more of a channel disposed along the length of the soft implant, groove, slot, notch, among others, or any combination thereof. The implant insertion tool may include an implant interface section configured to engage the one or more features.

Abstract: A search query is received. Personal information for a user is then determined. A search is performed in a general subdomain of general content using the search query. For example, the general subdomain of general content may be a WWW search. Then, a vertical subdomain is determined based on the personal information. A search is then performed in the vertical subdomain of specialized content using the search query. The search performed in the general subdomain and the search performed in the vertical subdomain generate general search results and vertical search results. The results may be combined and outputted to a client.

Abstract: Inverse search systems and methods operate on identifiers of content items in a corpus such as the World Wide Web In an inverse search, the user submits a query that includes an identifier of a target content item in the corpus and receives information (metadata) about the target content item being returned to the user. Many types of metadata can be returned, including ratings or other metadata related to the target content item obtained from users, popularity data specific to the target content item, information about previously submitted forward search queries that led to the target content item being identified as a hit, and metadata extracted from the target content item.
