Abstract: A method (200) for compatibility analysis and performance verification. Profile data is received (210) for a first profile from a first device and for other profiles from other devices, including a profile received from a second device. A request is received (215) from the first device to identify a profile with profile data compatible with the profile data of the first profile. The profile data of the first profile is compared (220) with profile data of the other profiles to identify compatibility, and the compatible profiles are reported to the first device. A selection of a compatible profile is received (225) from the first device. A request for an item is received (315) from the first device. A n instruction is sent regarding the item (320) to the third device. A confirmation regarding the instruction is received (330) from the fourth device. The item is enabled (335).

Abstract: The present invention provides antibiofilm composition comprising two or more agents selected from the group consisting of DispersinB™, 5-Fluorouracil, Deoxyribonuclease I and Proteinase K for preventing growth and proliferation of biofilm-embedded microorganisms in wound care, oral care, and disease-related infections and methods of treatment in mammals. The invention further provides methods for preparing medical devices, and wound care devices using an antibiofilm composition comprising two or more antimicrobial agents selected from the group consisting of DispersinB™, 5-Fluorouracil, Deoxyribonuclease I and Proteinase K.

Abstract: A process for automating data mining operations by defining data objects including one or more database table objects and storing the data objects in a metadata store maintained in a computer storage. Data manipulation operations on the meta data objects are defined and descriptions of the data manipulation operations associated with the data objects as metadata stored in the metadata store. A data execution component accesses the data manipulation operations and sequentially performs data manipulations operations on data within the database tables corresponding to the database table objects.

Abstract: A method to safely remove foxing stains from paper and celluloid items using distilled water, sodium hychloride, acedic acid, sodium bicarbonate and glue size.

Abstract: A pill dispenser apparatus embodied in a pill container element, and method of dispensing one pill at a time from a container, are disclosed. The user may dispense a pill from the container by inverting the container, rotating the top, and returning the container to its upright position. A pill will then exit the apparatus under the force of gravity via a discharge opening.

Abstract: Isolated nucleic acid sequences and amino acid sequences for soluble, ?-N-acetylglucosaminidase or active fragments or variants thereof which promote detachment of bacterial cells from a biofilm are provided. An isolated mutant bacteria which forms biofilm colonies which tightly adhere to surface but which are unable to release cells into the medium or spread over the surface is also provided. In additions, methods are described for modulating detachment of bacterial cells from biofilm by mutating soluble,?-N-acetylglucosamimidase or altering its expression or activity are also provided. Also provided are compositions, methods and devices for preventing, inhibiting and treating bacterial infections.

Abstract: A moisture-proof sealable styptic pencil dispenser including a styptic pencil, a sealable cover and holder with a base having a top surface adapted for holding and enclosing the styptic pencil. The holder also has an inner retainer having a top end located generally circumferentially around the base and a manual actuator for adjusting the distance of the base to the top end of the retainer located at the bottom end of the dispenser. The adjusting actuator has a grip, whereby the distance of the base to the inner retainer is adjusted by the rotation or other manipulation of the grip to allow only the styptic pencil tip to be exposed to prevent moisture from reaching the pencil body.

Abstract: An aerated or carbonated milk product drink having a shelf stable pre-heated and pressurized ultra-heat treated milk product which has been carbonated with a gas or gases under pressure and packaged into a container. The milk product may be natural or artificial milk product including dairy products and non-dairy milk products and includes combinations of milk products with other beverages such as fruit juices. The method of producing the shelf-stable carbonated milk product of the present invention comprises injecting under pressure carbon dioxide gas or a mixture of gases into the milk product at low temperature of less than 10 degrees centigrade and high pressure of from 50 kpa to 200 kpa. The carbonated milk product remains carbonated and shelf stable in the package until opened.
