Abstract: The present invention provides a symbiotic combination of i) a probiotic micro-organism comprising of a Lactobacillus strain, and ii) a catechin component comprising EGCG that acts as a second generation symbiotic with synergistic effects in improving the immune response and antioxidant capacity during aging that may beneficially affect the health of elderly.

Abstract: The technology disclosed teaches protecting sensitive data in the cloud via indexable databases. The method includes identifying sensitive fields of metadata for encryption and for hashing. The method also includes hashing at least partial values in the indexable sensitive fields to non-reversible hash values, concatenating the non-reversible hash values with the metadata for the network events, and encrypting the sensitive fields of metadata. Also included is sending the metadata for the network events, with the non-reversible hash values and the encrypted sensitive fields, to a remote database server that does not have a decryption key for the encrypted sensitive fields and that indexes the non-reversible hash values for indexed retrieval against the indexable sensitive fields.

Abstract: Described herein is a method and platform for conducting a buying campaign of a cohort of a plurality of buyers and suppliers. An online platform enables engagement, collaboration and sharing with buyers and suppliers. A lead moderator orchestrates the buying campaign. Preference parameters and nano segments are created. A nano segment is a small group of consumers with a multiplicity of matching profile demographic and background criteria. A buying campaign can be split into sub campaigns with additional moderators supporting the campaign moderator. The buyers co-create the specific products and services along with the suppliers in order to create a highly tailored experience for the nano segment involved. AI algorithms augment the experience by providing product, add ons, and participant recommendations to the moderator and buyers.

Abstract: A method and system for reviewing edits and editing content items are provided. An edit to a first version of a first content item is received. The first version of the first content is part of the active content delivery campaign and has been delivered over a computer network to a first plurality of computing devices. The edit is stored in a first storage that is separate from a second storage. An event indicating the edit is inserted into an event processing system. A result approving the edit is received from the event processing system. In response to receiving the result approving the edit, a second version is caused to be stored in the second storage. The second version reflecting the edit is caused to be delivered over the computer network.

Abstract: The present invention provides a synbiotic combination of i) a probiotic micro-organism comprising of a Lactobacillus strain, and ii) a catechin component comprising EGCG that acts as a second generation synbiotic with synergistic effects in improving the immune response and antioxidant capacity during aging that may beneficially affect the health of elderly. The catechin fraction exhibited differential effects on growth of bacteria with strong inhibition of pathogenic bacteria as opposed to probiotic bacteria suggesting its prebiotic efficacy. In vitro testing indicated protective effects of catechin and probiotics in a synergistic manner resulting in amelioration of oxidative and inflammatory stress.

Abstract: Techniques for generating unbiased estimates of causal effects in online experiments are provided. In one technique, campaign data is received that includes a first set of targeting criteria and a second set of targeting criteria. An online experiment is established that comprises a content delivery campaign that is associated with a treatment group and a control group. Afterward, a content request is received and a first entity that initiated the content request is identified. In response to determining that the first entity is targeted by the campaign based on the first set of targeting criteria, the first entity is randomly assigned to the control group. In responses to second content request, a second entity is identified. In response to determining that the second entity is targeted by the campaign based on the first set of targeting criteria, the second entity is randomly assigned to the treatment group.

Abstract: A vehicle tracker (102) and a method for monitoring vehicle's activity are described. The vehicle tracker (102) has a connection port (216) which provides plug and play functionality. The vehicle tracker (102) further has a plurality of sensors (504) for sensing various parameters associated with the vehicle. The sensing results in generation of current parameter values (518) which are processed in relative to plurality of parameter threshold values (520). The parameter threshold values (520) define minimum and maximum range of the parameters. Based on the processing, the vehicle tracker (102) determines anomalies in the operation of the vehicle. Once the anomaly is detected, the vehicle tracker (102) generates an alert and sends it to the concerned person or user.
