Abstract: Provided are millet and food products made from millet having reduced lipase activity. Also provided are nucleic acid sequences, constructs, expression cadettes, markers, primers probes, methods, gene editing tools, and materials useful in producing millet with reduced lipase activity as well as millet food products with reduced rancidity.

Abstract: A block of compressible material, such as cellular concrete, provides compressive failure characteristics suitable for arresting travel of an aircraft (or other vehicle) overrunning a runway (or other surface). Relatively thin frangible material positioned above the block provides a stronger, more damage resistant surface, while still readily fracturing in an arresting incident. Intermediate material, such as a foam layer, positioned under the frangible material may be included to provide a protective cushioning effect by mitigating transmission of external phenomena forces to the block. A fastening configuration at least partially enclosing other portions of the arresting unit provides a stable unified composite, without destroying desired compressive failure characteristics of the unit. Arresting units may also include a bottom layer of material stronger than the block of compressible material and a sealant coating with water resistant properties.

Abstract: Aircraft arresting beds constructed of cellular concrete at ends of runways may be subject to damaging effects of jet blast phenomena. Arresting units resistant to such effects and related methods are described.

Arresting units resistant to such effects are described. A block of compressible material, such as cellular concrete, provides compressive failure characteristics suitable for arresting travel of an aircraft overrunning a runway. A top sheet of relatively thin frangible material positioned above the block provides a stronger, more damage resistant surface, while still readily fracturing in an arresting incident. Intermediate material, such as a foam layer, under the top sheet may be included to provide a protective cushioning effect by mitigating transmission of external phenomena forces to the block. A wrapping, such as polyester net, at least partially enclosing other portions of the arresting unit provides a stable unified composite, without destroying desired compressive failure characteristics of the unit.

Abstract: A container, such as the type having a base portion, and an upper neck portion, a shoulder portion between the neck and base portion and a removable closure applied to the neck portion in a sealed relation therewith, is provided with an anti-counterfeit multi-layer label construction. The multi-layer construction includes a label which is adhesively applied to the back side of a container. A printed indicia is provided on the front side of the label so as to be readable by the customer upon removal of an overlying sleeve which is placed over the label. The sleeve is in the form of a protective film which is heat shrunk into a conforming, sealed relationship around the container and which covers at least a portion of the label. A release coat is provided over the underlying printing. A background coat is provided over the release coat so as to cover the underlying printing. Top indicia is provided on the background coat with a varnish thereon.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical liposome compositions containing an anti-inflammatory steroid derivative bearing a lipophilic substituent, for example cortisol 21-hexadecanoate. Method of treatment of inflammation at a site involving an enclosed cavity, for example the treatment of rheumatic disease, comprising injecting a said pharmaceutical liposome composition into said cavity. Specified new steroid derivatives, for example fluocinolone acetamide 21-hexadecanoate.
