  • Publication number: 20240132671
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to curable silicone elastomer compositions having enhanced adhesive properties with respect to a wide variety of substrates (hereafter referred to as “curable silicone elastomer compositions”). Elastomers made by curing the curable silicone elastomer compositions may be adhered to a wide variety of substrates to form composites comprising the elastomers and the substrates. Processes for adhering the elastomers made by curing the curable silicone elastomer compositions to the substrates are also provided. An adhesion promoter, component (D), is provided to enhance adhesion. Component (D) is a polyorganosiloxane having (i) at least one unsaturated group per molecule selected from alkenyl groups and alkynyl groups and (ii) an anhydride functionality and an aromatic functionality, wherein a carbon of the aromatic functionality is separated from a carbon of a carbonyl group of the anhydride by a carbon chain of from 1 to 3 non-aromatic carbon atoms inclusive.

  • Patent number: 11950607
    Abstract: Provided is a food composition which include a myceliated high-protein food product and methods to make such compositions, which are mixtures of myceliated high-protein food products and other edible materials. A food composition includes dairy alternative products, ready to mix beverages and beverage bases; extruded and extruded/puffed products; sheeted baked goods; meat analogs and extenders; baked goods and baking mixes; granola; and soups/soup bases. Food compositions also include texturized plant protein which can be used for making meat-structured plant protein meat analog or meat extender products. The food compositions have reduced undesirable flavors and reduced undesirable aromas due to use of myceliated high-protein food products as compared to use of similar high-protein material that is not myceliated.

  • Patent number: 11797164
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying and interacting with multiple open views in a mobile environment. An example method can include displaying content for a first web page in a first pane in a maximized state on a mobile device, receiving a touch input on a navigation control associated with the first pane, and responsive to receiving the touch input, displaying a second web page in a second pane on the mobile device, the second pane being in a minimized state in a dock area. The dock area can overlay the first pane in the maximized state and the minimized state of the second pane can display a smaller version of the second web page than the second pane in a maximized state. In some examples the second web page updates content in parallel with the first web page.

  • Publication number: 20230176719
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying and interacting with multiple open views in a mobile environment. An example method can include displaying a current pane in a maximized state and at least a first pane in a minimized state in a dock area. The current pane is a top of a stack list and displays content associated with a first location and the first pane is in a dock list and displays content associated with a second location. The minimized state for a pane is a scaled down version of the maximized state for the pane, the scale applying to the content for the pane and a size of the pane. The method also includes receiving a drag input on the first pane in the dock area and scaling the size of the first pane according to proximity to the dock area.

  • Publication number: 20160279016
    Abstract: A massage device which allows a user to easily and effectively self-administer a neck and/or shoulder massage. The device includes a first crossbar, a first leg assembly, and a second leg assembly. The first crossbar acts as the engagement element. The first leg assembly and the second leg assembly each include a handle, a support bar, and a rocker runner. The handle is collinearly and adjacently connected to the support bar. The rocker runner is adjacently connected to the support bar, opposite the handle, and allows for a rocking motion. The support bar positions and holds the first crossbar and acts as the load-bearing element. The support bar of the first leg assembly is adjacently and perpendicularly connected to the first crossbar. The support bar of the second leg assembly is adjacently and perpendicularly connected to the first crossbar, opposite the support bar of the first leg assembly.
