Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described including at least one rigid structure configured to be inserted into a subject's fornix such that distal end of the rigid structure is at a site anterior to a perivascular adipose layer of at least one of the subject's left and right broad ligaments. At least one uterine artery compression device is placed posterior to the broad ligaments and compresses at least one of the subject's left and right uterine arteries by pressing the at least one broad ligament against the rigid structure. Other applications are also described.

Abstract: Compositions including topical formulations comprising secreted products obtained from the culture medium of human embryonic germ (EG) cell derivatives and particular combinations of components therefrom are provided for treatment of various dermatological conditions, such as adverse consequences of aging, wrinkling, altered pigmentation, altered viscoelasticity, and altered thickness, among others. Methods for using the compositions and topical formulations for treating adverse or undesirable dermatological conditions are also provided, as well as preventing the appearance of undesirable dermatological conditions.

Abstract: Methods, systems and media are provided for turning large volumes of globally distributed data into actionable information by building a distributed semantic graph and maintaining such graph with up to date changes in data and client needs are provided. The semantic graph can be used to run subscriptions over interconnected semantic servers where each server can be capable of coupling to data sources, client applications and other semantic servers.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to enhance biometric data available to authorities to identify individuals by linking the available biometric data semantically to data from other sources to improve identity management using a semantic computing server that builds a semantic graph based on the data. Using a semantic graph helps determine the identity and possible intention to deceive of certain individuals.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for use with a subject's body, vagina, vaginal fornix, uterus, and uterine artery. A fornix-engaging structure is inserted into the vagina and engages the vaginal fornix. A rod is inserted into the subject's body via the fornix-engaging structure, such that a distal end of the rod passes through vaginal tissue at a first vaginal site until the distal end of the rod is at a first extrauterine site outside of the uterine artery, but in a vicinity of a portion of the uterine artery that supplies a uterine fibroid. A rod-guide is coupled to the fornix-engaging structure, and guides the distal end of the rod to the first extrauterine site. A uterine artery compression device is disposed on the distal end of the rod. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: Compositions including topical formulations comprising secreted products obtained from the culture medium of human umbilical cord stem cells and particular combinations of components therefrom are provided for treatment of various dermatological conditions, such as adverse consequences of aging, wrinkling, altered pigmentation, altered viscoelasticity, and altered thickness, among others. Methods for using the compositions and topical formulations for treating adverse or undesirable dermatological conditions are also provided, as well as preventing the appearance of undesirable dermatological conditions.

Abstract: Compositions including formulations comprising secreted products obtained from the culture medium of stem cells, such as umbilical cord blood stem cells, or embryonic germ cell derivatives, or embryonic stem cells, are provided for enhancement of wound healing. Further compositions contain components identified in such culture medium to enhance wound healing. Methods for using the compositions and formulations for enhancing wound healing are also provided. Wounds to both soft and bony tissues are encompassed, and include wounds created by surgical procedures.

Abstract: A towing device for towing of a carrier that enables carrying at least one user, wherein the user drives and steers the towing device, includes a front part and at least one steering-element. The front part of the towing device includes a motor and engagement-means wherein the motor is operatively associated with the engagement-means and the engagement-means allow driving the towing device upon a road. The at least one steering-element is operatively coupled to the front part of the towing device in a rotatable manner, enabling to operate and control the motor and to change the angular position of the front part in relation to the at least one steering-element thereby to turn the towed carrier angularly, in relation to the front part.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a multi-stone setting for receiving four substantially triangular-shaped gemstones or diamonds in the round setting. The multi-stone round setting includes a prong assembly having four prong members; and one or more curved side rail members connected to the four prong members to form a round-shaped setting. The multi-stone round setting also includes a first center crossbar member connected at the ends thereof to two opposed curved side rail members and a second center crossbar member being perpendicular to the first center crossbar member; wherein the second center crossbar member is connected at the ends thereof to the other two opposed curved side rail members for forming four seating areas. The first center crossbar member includes first and second retaining edge insert members. The four seating areas are each used for receiving one of the four gemstones or diamonds therein.

Abstract: A multi-stone oval setting having four substantially triangular-shaped gemstones or diamonds therein and two substantially rectangular-shaped gemstones or diamonds therein and held together in the setting to produce the appearance of an overall oval-shaped gemstone. The multi-stone oval setting includes a prong assembly having four prong members and one or more curved side rail members connected to the four prong members to form an oval-shaped setting. The oval-shaped setting also includes a first crossbar member with first and second insert retaining edges formed therein and extending in a first direction; and having a second crossbar member with third and fourth insert retaining edges formed therein and being parallel to the first crossbar member and also extending in the first direction; and having a third crossbar member being perpendicular to the first and second crossbar members and extending in a second direction.
