Abstract: The invention relates to a nutraceutical formulation of blueberry extract, fish oil (omega-3 and omega-6), recombinant human lactoferrin, vitamin A and vitamin E, for human oral consumption. The invention belongs to the field of ophthalmology and has been developed as a coadjuvant for preserving the health of the precorneal film and of the eye surface. This formulation contains an extract of natural origin (Vaccinium myrtillus L) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; it also uses eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), omega-6, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), omega-3, obtained from fish oil and which, together with lactoferrin, vitamin A and vitamin E, improves tear quality, since these compounds have anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory effects. This formulation has been designed as a coadjuvant for preserving the health of the precorneal film.

Abstract: Austenitic Stainless Steel alloy compositions are provided with reduced Ni content. These alloys, combined with a process that includes a martensite thermomechanical treatment with a thickness reduction preferably higher than 65%, provides a new generation of Advanced High Strength Steels with combination of tensile strength and total elongation in the range of 1000 MPa/35-55% to 1350 MPa/25-45% and good formability and weldability properties, which are useful in the manufacture of many products, particularly in the car industry.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for determining a bid value for placing an advertisement onto advertising space available through an electronic marketplace. A method is used for calculating the option value of maintaining the advertisement in the advertising space during one or more periods of time. The option value may be based on expected profits and the estimated future value of maintaining the advertisement. The option value may then be used to calculate the bid price for placing the advertisement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressurised-vapour autoclave characterised in that, in addition to sterilising instruments in a main chamber, it allows a second or third hermetic, exchangeable sterilising chamber to be housed inside the autoclave and connected, by means of a quick connection, to the main sterilising chamber, thus allowing access to the internal components of the autoclave such as compressors, water heaters, solenoid valves, etc., in order to sterilise sanitary waste without contaminating the main chamber with steam or ozone gas, thereby producing two or three completely autonomous and separate chambers. The present invention also relates to a method for operating the autoclave, wherein the autoclave reports the number of kilos treated by means of weight sensors on the feet of same, as well as all the internal parameters thereof by means of a GPRS-SIM circuit board.
