Abstract: A method for conducting a survey or poll includes receiving authentication data from a plurality of users. The received authentication data is evaluated for each user to determine if the authentication data is valid. In response to determining that the authentication data is valid for a particular user, that user is provided access to a plurality of voting options. Voting information is received from at least some of the plurality of users. The received voting information identifying selected one of the plurality of voting options is analyzed in real time. Voting results are presented to at least some of the plurality of users based on the analyzed voting information.

Abstract: Appetite suppression and weight management achieved through pre-meal ingestion of temporary gastric bulking agents in the form of superabsorbent polymer hydrogels (SAPHs) selected from among a group consisting of crosslinked polycarboxylic acid moieties is described. The preferred compositions and manufacturing methods of ultrapure preparations of ingestible forms; as well as the preferred methods of use, dosage and administration; distribution and delivery of SAPH materials are also described.

Abstract: A foil assembly for a watercraft includes a base assembly, a fin rotatably connected to the base assembly such that the fin can rotate longitudinally, and a slider attachment configured to connect to a fin box of a watercraft wherein the base assembly is configured to be removably disposed within the slider attachment such that the base assembly and the fin can be removed and rotated laterally to a folded position and still be retained by the slider attachment to the fin box.
