Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a system and a method to detect small molecules, also known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), in a fluid sample. The system and method can also be applied to diagnose a disease state of an organism by detecting a unique combination of metabolites produced by an organism.

Abstract: A soil moisture and fertility sensor system is presented that includes an elongated probe having a plurality of sensor modules positioned along the length of the probe. Each sensor module includes a co-located sensors configured to take a moisture, temperature, and fertility measurements at varying depths of the soil. The probe is configured for wireless communication. The probe is configured to take moisture measurements, temperature measurements and/or nutrient measurements at different times so as to prevent interference between measurements. The probe includes a plurality of receptacles that receive the fertility sensor assembly cartridge that may be inserted into and removed from a receptacle so as to facilitate end-of-life replacement. In one arrangement, the fertility sensor assembly includes a reference sensor and a plurality of nutrient sensors that are each configured to sense the presence of a specific nutrient.

Abstract: The inventive compositions comprise in a deionized water base, a composition comprising: a preservative, a chelating agent; one or more moisturizer and hydrolyzed keratin protein; an antioxidant selected from the group consisting of citric acid and a vitamin E salt; and an emulsifier-water trap selected from the group consisting of cetearyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate; and PEG-40 castor oil. The composition, which is in liquid form, may be applied in the form of a spray or mist by dipping the affected area in the liquid or by pouring a small amount of the liquid onto the hair or body to be treated.

Abstract: Embodiments of an invention related to context state management based on processor features are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor includes instruction logic and state management logic. The instruction logic is to receive a state management instruction having a parameter to identify a subset of the features supported by the processor. The state management logic is to perform a state management operation specified by the state management instruction.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for facilitating personalization of web content is provided, while protecting the privacy of the user data utilized to personalize the user's experience. A privacy vault may collect user data including user activity data, demographic data, and user interests submitted by a user. In one embodiment, the privacy vault operates on a user client device. The privacy vault sends the user data to a community vault that collects user data from multiple users. The community vault generates segment rules that whether a user belongs to a user segment, which expresses a user's interest. The segment rules are then communicated back to the privacy vault, which assigns one or more user segments to the user based on the user data available to the privacy vault and the segment rules. The privacy vault may communicate user segments to one or more content providers that supply personalized content that is selected based on the user segments provided.
