Abstract: Method of engineering supplement particles to have varying properties, optimally combining the supplement particles with an additive(s) into a formula, and converting the formula into a pod, via compaction or encapsulation; which may be further modified through coating. The pod may be dissolved into a beverage and/or eaten directly.

Abstract: Luminescence imaging apparatus, methods and computer program products are disclosed. A time-resolved luminescence imaging apparatus (100A) comprises: an optical assembly (2) operable to generate an array of beams; a scanner (4A) operable to scan the array of beams with respect to a sample (8), along a single scanning axis; and a detector assembly (10) having an array of detector elements, adjacent detector elements being spaced apart by an inter-element gap, each detector element being operable to detect emissions generated by the sample (8) in response to the array of beams. In this way, different locations on the sample (8) may be simultaneously scanned and imaged by the detector assembly (10) in order to image multiple parts of the sample (8) simultaneously. Also, by scanning along a single scanning axis, the complexity of the scanner (4A) is significantly reduced and the speed of scanning is increased compared to scanners which have to scan in two dimensions, such as a traditional raster scan mechanism.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamically composing applications is presented. A computer system identifies a set of parameters based on user input. The computer system then activates a portion of a plurality of capsules stored in a data storage to form a set of activated capsules based on the set of parameters. Further, the computer composes an application in real-time using a base capsule and the set of activated capsules in which the application is specifically tailored for a particular state. The application and the plurality of capsules take up a reduced amount of memory space.
