Abstract: A non-nematicidal composition comprises at least one glucan and/or at least one fucan which act individually or synergistically with mannitol to reduce losses in crop yield and marketable grade caused by the infestation of growth media with plant pathogenic nematodes, to levels equivalent to those achieved with commercial nematicides, but without posing a risk to the ecosystem or user. In some cases the composition comprises at least one glucan, at least one fucan and at least one mannitol which may be in a weight/weight ratio of approximately 1:2:3 of at least one glucan:at least one fucan:at least one mannitol or between approximately 1:1:1 to 1:1:3 of at least one glucan:at least one fucan:at least one mannitol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and methods comprising an amount of ?-glucans and ?-fucans, wherein the combination is synergistic to at least one of: increase growth of beneficial microbes and reduced levels of harmful microbes selected from E. coli or Salmonella in animal or human intestines, improve gut structure, reduce gut inflammation, improved nutrient digestibility, improve mineral absorption and growth performance, or reduce gut infection and inflammation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising at least about 8% ?-glucans and/or at least about 8% ?-fucans, which has a prebiotic effect and act as a replacement for in-feed antibiotics. The present invention also relates to extraction methods to obtain such extracts and various uses for the compositions comprising ?-glucans and/or ?-fucans.

Abstract: This invention relates to the improvement of gastrointestinal health, immunity and performance by direct dietary intervention with a composition comprising a glucan and/or a fucan, and relates in particular to the transfer of associated health benefits to offspring via glucan and/or a fucan supplementation of the maternal diet. Accordingly the present invention provides a composition comprising at least one glucan, at least one fucan, or at least one glucan and at least one fucan for use in improving or maintaining the gastrointestinal health or function of a progeny of a maternal animal by administration to the maternal animal; and a method for improving or maintaining the gastrointestinal health or function of a progeny of a maternal animal, the method comprising administering a composition comprising at least one glucan, at least one fucan, or at least one glucan and at least one fucan to the maternal animal.

Abstract: This invention relates to the automatic pointing of a pointing device, such as a camera, without the assistance of a person who operates the camera. Systems and methods are disclosed wherein the system is substantially stationary during recording but is portable to the venue of recording. For the purpose of recording, the camera turns automatically to optically follow the person, animal, or object that is being recorded. The present invention provides for high quality video recording; the high quality video recording here refers to features of the inventive systems and methods that provide for smooth camera motion necessary to take enjoyable videos for personal or for commercial use. This invention provides a portable system that automatically records videos from the vantage point of a sports fan, of a spectator or of a competition judge.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include determining that a slot coupled to a peripheral component interconnect host bridge is occupied by an input/output adapter. The computer-implemented method may include determining one or more characteristics of the input/output adapter and determining whether the input/output adapter is capable of using additional memory based on the one or more characteristics of the input/output adapter. The computer-implemented method may also include allocating the additional memory for the input/output adapter in response to determining that the input/output adapter is capable of using the additional memory.
