Abstract: A secure private network connectivity system (SNCS) within a cloud service provider infrastructure (CSPI) is described that provides secure private network connectivity between external resources residing in a customer's on-premise environment and the customer's resources residing in the cloud. The SNCS provides secure private bi-directional network connectivity between external resources residing in a customer's external site representation and resources and services residing in the customer's VCN in the cloud without a user (e.g., an administrator) of the enterprise having to explicitly configure the external resources, advertise routes or set up site-to-site network connectivity.

Abstract: This invention relates to features of durable absorbent pants (for example, underwear briefs) to be worn for containing and absorbing bodily discharges, wherein the pants include an integrated absorbent panel.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a supplement, particularly a supplement for menopause.

Abstract: A skin care product is provided. The skin care product includes a multi-component skin care composition disposed in a multi-chamber container. The multi-component skin care composition includes an aqueous carrier component and a nicotinamide riboside component disposed in separate chambers, which prevents these components from contacting one another prior to use. The aqueous carrier component and the nicotinamide riboside component can be separated from one another by one or more fluid impermeable dividing members and/or activatable elements, which upon activation enable contact between the aqueous carrier component and nicotinamide riboside component.

Abstract: A variety of nanostructures are provided having a metal nanowire having a plurality of faces extending along a length of the nanowire, and a plurality of semiconductor nanorods forming two or more nanorod arrays, wherein each of the nanorod arrays is attached to a different surface of the nanowire. For example, in some embodiments, the nanostructure is a silver nanowire having a pentagonal cross section and five faces extending along the length of the nanowire, and metal oxide nanorods forming five nanorod arrays extending along each of the five faces of the silver nanowire. The nanostructures can demonstrate high temperature coefficients of resistance, and can be used in a variety of bolometric materials. In some embodiments, bolometric materials are provided including a plurality of the nanostructures deposited onto a surface of a substrate. Methods of making the nanostructures and bolometers are also provided.

Abstract: A metal-organic framework (MOF) body that includes MOF crystallites adhered to each other via a MOF binder is provided. In one embodiment, the body consists of: MOF crystallites; a MOF binder which binds the crystallites together in the body; optionally, residual solvent; and optionally, one or more additives, where the additives are present at a level of not more than 10% by mass. The MOF binder may have substantially the same composition as the MOF crystallites. Alternatively, the MOF binder may have a different composition to the MOF crystallites.

Abstract: A stable cosmetic agent that includes an encapsulated particle in a core-shell configuration. The encapsulated particle is formed by coating nicotinamide riboside powder or a nicotinamide riboside containing material with one or more encapsulating agents. The stable encapsulated nicotinamide riboside particles exhibit less than 20% hydrolysis when incorporated into an aqueous skin care composition.

Abstract: A stable cosmetic agent in the form of a plurality of encapsulated particles in a core-shell configuration. The encapsulated particles are formed by coating nicotinamide riboside powder or a nicotinamide riboside containing material with one or more water-insoluble encapsulating agents. The stable encapsulated nicotinamide riboside particles exhibit less than 20% hydrolysis when incorporated into an aqueous skin care composition.

Abstract: Cosmetic methods of increasing ARE activated gene transcription in a skin cell by contacting skin cells in a target portion of skin with an effective amount of niacinamide and nicotinamide riboside in combination to increase ARE activated gene transcription or synergistically increase ARE activated gene transcription of at least some of the skin cells contacted with the niacinamide and nicotinamide riboside. The cosmetic methods also enable synergistic reduction of ROS-induced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion in a skin cell and restoration of glycolytic ATP production rate in a skin cell that has been reduced as a result of ROS-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract: A kit for purifying water comprises a first container for receiving untreated water, and a second container for receiving purified water and having a dispensing spigot. A water purification composition, when mixed with water in the first container, produces partially purified water having solid matter. A first filter held in a filter holder at an upper end of the second container removes the solid matter when the partially purified water is poured from the first container. A second filter in the second container comprises carbon.
