  • Publication number: 20190185263
    Abstract: Various trash can assembly embodiments are disclosed. In some embodiments, the trash can assembly includes a body and a lid assembly. The lid assembly can include a lid, and a multicomponent trim ring. The lid assembly can be rotatably connected with the body via a hinge unit. In certain embodiments, a flange of the trim ring is guided into and/or received into the hinge unit. A translating pin of the hinge unit can engage into the flange, thereby providing a rotatable connection between the trim ring and the body. In various embodiments, the translating pin is coupled with a handle to facilitate movement of the pin by a user during engagement of the trim ring and the hinge unit. A positioner can help to position the trash can against or adjacent to a wall or other structure. The movement of both the trim ring and the lid can be dampened.

  • Publication number: 20190151242
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a liposome composition, comprising: a liposome enclosed by a phospholipid bilayer, wherein the phospholipid bilayer defines a receiving space therein; nutrients provided in the receiving space, wherein the nutrients comprising glutamic acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and lecithin; and a targeting substance embedded in or bound to the liposome. The liposome composition disclosed herein has a phospholipid bilayer and a special targeting substance that can pass through the BBB of a living body and then release nutrients, including glutamic acid, to activate glial cells in the living body, in order for the glial cells to acquire calcium ions in the living body, the goal being to promote synaptogenesis and to modulate neuronal plasticity and synaptic transmission while enhancing the glutamic acid-glutamine cycle.
