Abstract: An adjustable shelving rack and system for storing and maintaining a plurality of item containers within a shelving unit in a stacked, vertical configuration. Each of the plurality of adjustable shelving racks are selectively coupled to a horizontal traverse of the shelving unit at a user determined position. The item containers may then be inserted by disposing each item container on one of a plurality of supports within each shelving rack. By having two shelving racks in close proximity to one another, each item container may be held in a suspended configuration with either side of the item container supported by a different shelving rack. Each shelving rack is coupled to a plurality of traverses through a corresponding plurality of vice assemblies which are selectively actuated to grip or apply a squeezing force to each traverse.

Abstract: Far field devices typically rely on audio only for enabling user interaction and involve only audio processing. Adding a vision-based modality can greatly improve the user interface of far field devices to make them more natural to the user. For instance, users can look at the device to interact with it rather than having to repeatedly utter a wakeword. Vision can also be used to assist audio processing, such as to improve the beamformer. For instance, vision can be used for direction of arrival estimation. Combining vision and audio can greatly enhance the user interface and performance of far field devices.

Abstract: Compositions contain an amount of cinnamaldehyde that is orally tolerable, thus avoiding an unpleasant mouth feeling, and also tolerable in the gastrointestinal tract. The amount of cinnamaldehyde is supplemented by zinc, and the combination is effective to promote a swallowing reflex. The composition containing the combination of cinnamaldehyde and zinc can be used in a method to treat dysphagia and/or prevent aspiration pneumonia from dysphagia. In an embodiment, the composition containing cinnamaldehyde is administered to a human. The composition containing cinnamaldehyde may be a medicament, a food product or a supplement to a food product.

Abstract: A rack features a front panel, a rear panel, a first rail assembly and a second rail assembly. The first rail assembly includes a first frame, a first plurality of support members extending laterally from the first frame, and a first set of edge connectors extending in a first longitudinal direction from the first frame. The second rail assembly includes a second frame, a second plurality of support members extending laterally from the second frame and aligned with the first plurality of support members, and a second set of edge connectors extending in the first longitudinal direction from the second frame for coupling to the front panel.

Abstract: The invention provides a barrel flexing mitigation assembly (10), which is suitable for reducing barrel deflection, particularly in long range rifle barrels, such as those used in target shooting, hunting or sniper applications. The barrel flexing mitigation assembly (10) comprises a tubular shaft (20) extending coaxially with a rifle barrel (12) for defining an exoskeleton (20) within which at least part of the barrel (12) is encased; and a tubular barrel stabiliser (22) which is snug-fitted over the barrel (12), such that it is radially positioned between the barrel (12) and the tubular exoskeleton (20).

Abstract: The invention pertains to a composition containing a combination of cinnamaldehyde and zinc. The composition containing the combination of cinnamaldehyde and zinc can be used in a method to support weight management or promote weight loss, a method for preventing obesity or overweight, and a method for treating obesity or overweight. In an embodiment, the composition containing the combination of cinnamaldehyde and zinc is administered to a human. The composition may be a medicament, a food product or a supplement.

Abstract: Compositions for treatment or prevention of autism disorders are provided, and the compositions contain a therapeutically effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of Menthol, Linalool, Icilin and combinations thereof. Methods for treatment or prevention of autism disorders are also provided, and the methods include administering such compositions.

Abstract: Compositions comprise an amount of cinnamaldehyde that is orally tolerable, thus avoiding an unpleasant mouth feeling, and also tolerable in the gastrointestinal tract. The cinnamaldehyde is supplemented by zinc, and the combination can be effective to increase at least one of energy expenditure, sympathetic nervous system activity, or fat oxidation. The composition comprising the combination of cinnamaldehyde and zinc can be used in a method to support weight management or promote weight loss, a method for preventing obesity or overweight, and a method for treating obesity or overweight. The composition can improve one or more of insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, cognitive performance, cognition, mood or memory.
