Abstract: Chewable compositions or specifically chewing gum contains a combination of beauty ingredients that are useful for protecting and/or maintaining healthy skin. More particularly, the chewing gum comprises a combination of collagen, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E, which may be useful for maintaining skin elasticity and protecting the skin from oxidative stress.

Abstract: An off-line regulator has a rectification circuit configured to rectify an AC line voltage into a rectified line voltage, a pass device coupled between the rectified line voltage and a first capacitor, and a converter. The pass device is configured to be turned ON or OFF according to a comparison signal indicating whether the rectified line voltage is over a threshold voltage. The first capacitor delivers an interim voltage into the converter which supplies power to a load. Wherein a second capacitor coupled across a driver which driving the pass device is charged by the first capacitor when the comparison signal is at a first state, and the driver is boosted when the comparison signal is at a second state.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a plurality of queues configured to cache a plurality of packets that correspond to a plurality of sessions, a scheduler configured to schedule the packets from the different queues for forwarding based on a finish time for each packet at the egress of each corresponding queue, and an egress link coupled to the scheduler and configured to forward the scheduled packets from all the queues at a total bandwidth that is shared among the queues, wherein the finish time is calculated dynamically based on the amount of bandwidth allocated for the corresponding queue, and wherein the queues are assigned corresponding weights for sharing the total bandwidth.
