Abstract: An action selection facility for a website made up of pages is described. The facility receives requests, each identifying a requested page among the website's pages, and a requesting user for whom the request was generated. For each received request, the facility: (a) identifies actions presently available to the requesting user that can be performed using the website; (b) accesses a set of action determinant factors that relate to the request, and uses them to generate a score for each identified action; and (c) selects a proper subset of the identified actions based at least in part on the scores generated for them.

The seat motor is configured to move the seat back from a first position extending upward from the seat base to a second position where the seat back is disposed flat against the seat base.

Abstract: Provided is a medical device formed entirely from or formed partially from a polymer, e.g., a polysaccharide such as chitosan. In some embodiments, the medical device may be formed as a tubular member formed from a sheet of a chitosan material. This chitosan tube may be used to wrap around tissue, such as a nerve or tendon to help with the regeneration or healing process of the nerve or tendon, as applicable.

Abstract: A configuration policy applicable to one or more target resources is identified. An indication of a non-compliance remediation workflow corresponding to the policy, indicating an automated action, is obtained via a programmatic interface. In response to detecting that a particular target resource does not comply with the configuration policy, implementation of the automated action is initiated.

Abstract: A process where a liquid or supercritical CO2 co-solvent is used in a hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) process. The process improves yield of the HTL process.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides extracellular vesicle-enriched compositions derived from iPSC-derived microglia. Further provided herein are methods for using the extracellular vesicle-enriched compositions from iPSC-derived microglia in screening assays to discover properties, including therapeutic properties.

Abstract: An Orris root extract is disclosed. The Orris root extract is obtained via Orris root materials via selective extraction, and is selectively enriched in (A) a phytochemical melanogenesis stimulating agent or (B) a phytochemical melanogenesis inhibiting agent. The phytochemical melanogenesis stimulating agent (A) comprises germanaism B, and the phytochemical melanogenesis inhibiting agent (B) comprises iriflorental and/or iripallidal. A method of preparing the Orris root extract composition is also provided, and includes selectively extracting an Orris root materials to give at least one Orris root extract. A functional composition comprising the Orris root extract is also provided. The functional composition is adapted for administration to a subject via topical application, and demonstrates activity relating to skin pigmentation.

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.

Abstract: A composition for confectionery applications, which comprises: a fat composition having a solid fat content (SFC) with an N20 of at least 10% and N35 of at most 10% measured on stabilized fat stabilized at 20° C. for 40 hours according to ISO 8292-1; at least one emulsifier; and at least one bitterness inhibitor dispersed or dissolved in the fat composition.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for propagating adjustment across channels of multi-dimensional data. Multi-dimensional data can be stored in a database, the multi-dimensional data including at least a channel dimension with a plurality of channel members and a product dimension with a plurality of product members. Return input including a first number and fulfilment input including a second number can be received about a first product member. A display can be dynamically generated for one or more cross-sections of data between the first product member and multiple of the channel members, wherein the first number and second number are propagated to intersections of the first product member and the multiple channel members by dynamically adjusting inventory data or sales data based on the first number and the second number.
