Abstract: Resveratrol and/or pterostilbene are added to wines to preserve the wine from oxidation, bacteria and fungi, as well as to deliver resveratrol to an animal. The resveratrol and/or pterostilbene are also added to red wine to preserve the polyphenols present in red wine. The resveratrol and/or pterostilbene can be added to grape must prior to fermentation and/or to fermented wine prior to bottling.

Abstract: A surgical cutting instrument including two coaxially arranged tubular members. The first tubular member has a cutting tip and is co-axially disposed within the second tubular member, which in turn has a cutting window to expose the cutting tip to tissue and bone through the cutting window. Movement of the tubular members with respect to each other debrides soft tissue and thin bone presented to the cutting window. The second (outer) tubular member has one or more features which contribute to reduced clogging of the cutting tip as a whole.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and apparatus for generating prediction markets are described to gauge business uncertainties surrounding a project with an uncertain timeline and/or an uncertain result. Such prediction markets can be used in any industry segment and across business functions, including research and development (R&D), marketing, executive functions and others. Traditional prediction markets, like equity markets, require liquidity for success. By introducing a pari-mutuel prediction input platform, the present invention describes a modified prediction market that elicits more accurate predictions surrounding business decisions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising Gamma-glutamyl cycle inhibitors (GGCI) and certain pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and methods of use.

Abstract: A surgical tissue cutting instrument comprises a tubular outer member, an inner member rotatably disposed within the outer member and having a cutting element, a handpiece, and an irrigation system. The irrigation system includes an irrigation channel composed of a first irrigation passage within the handpiece and a second irrigation passage within the thickness of the annular wall of the outer member, and a sleeve disposed over a front end of the handpiece and over the outer member adjacent an outlet opening of the second irrigation passage. The sleeve allows communication through the outlet opening of the second irrigation passage and an inlet port of the first passage. The inlet port is connectible with a source of irrigation fluid.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods are disclosed providing for annotation of digital documents, such as html and xml documents. In various embodiments, virtual note-paper can be generated with a background-image that is a facsimile of a reviewer-selected portion of a digital document. Annotations can be made on the facsimile and attached to the digital document in a location chosen by the reviewer. The annotations can be typed (e.g., via keyboard input device) or drawn (e.g., via mouse, finger or stylus) on the virtual note-paper.

Abstract: A cable adapter or connector for an ATEM camera converter includes a bracket secured to at least two holes on a bottom of the ATEM camera converter. Also included is at least a Neutrik opticalCON® fiber chassis connector secured to a cut-out in the bracket by at least two rivets. Two dual ST chassis connectors or dual FC chassis connectors are installed in the cut-out of the bracket using one or more wide nuts with one or more lock-washers. There is also one or more fiber optic cables that terminate with at least one of the Neutrik opticalCON® or dual ST or dual FC chassis connectors. The fiber optic cables terminated with either Neutrik opticalCON®, dual ST or dual FC connectors may be used with the camera converter.

Abstract: A surgical tissue cutting instrument having an irrigation system comprises an elongate tubular outer member having a proximal end, a distal end and an opening at the distal end, an elongate inner member rotatably disposed within the outer member and having a proximal end, a distal end and a cutting element at the distal end exposed from the opening, a handpiece mounted to the proximal ends of the outer and inner members, and an irrigation system comprising an irrigation channel composed of a first irrigation passage within the handpiece and a second irrigation passage within the thickness of the annular wall of the outer member, and a sleeve having a rearward end disposed over a front end of the handpiece and a forward end disposed over the outer member adjacent an outlet opening of the second irrigation passage near the distal end of the outer member.

Abstract: Resveratrol and/or pterostilbene are added to wines to preserve the wine from oxidation, bacteria and fungi, as well as to deliver resveratrol to an animal. The resveratrol and/or pterostilbene are also added to red wine to preserve the polyphenols present in red wine. The resveratrol and/or pterostilbene can be added to grape must prior to fermentation and/or to fermented wine prior to bottling.

Abstract: A surgical cutting instrument comprises an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member. The outer tubular member includes a proximal section, an intermediate section, a distal section, and a side wall. The side wall defines a central lumen extending from the proximal section to the distal section. The side wall also includes means for conducting fluid within a sidewall of the outer tubular member from the proximal section to the distal section and includes a distal opening positioned to direct fluid at the bur and a treatment site. The inner tubular member is rotatably received within the central lumen. A distal end of the inner tubular member forms a bur extending distally beyond, and exposed relative to, the distal section of the outer tubular member.

Abstract: Resveratrol and/or pterostilbene are added to a chewable carrier, to enhance absorption of resveratrol and/or pterostilbene buccally or through the mucous membranes of the mouth. The composition containing the resveratrol and/or pterostilbene is designed to be retained in the mouth for at least 20 seconds and up to 20 minutes to ensure absorption of the resveratrol and/or pterostilbene through the mucous membranes of the mouth.

Abstract: Oils are washed directly with a lower alcohol to remove cholesterol and other contaminants. The washing is effected at a temperature sufficiently low that the alcohol and oil remain immiscible. The composition is then heated to form a single phase. The solution is then cooled to below 10° C. to separate the alcohol and oil phases. Undesirable components, such as cholesterol, organic contaminants, and heavy metals remain in the alcohol phase, separate from the pure oil.
