Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition with an active pharmaceutical ingredient including a pomegranate fruit polyphenol extract. The pomegranate fruit polyphenol extract includes at least about 3% combined punicalagin A and punicalagin B by weight, less than about 5% ellagic acid and their derivatives by weight, and less than about 1% anthocyanins by weight.

Abstract: Embodiments of software-supervised pairing processes are provided. The processes enable a user to pair a mouse and keyboard with a Bluetooth transceiver without having to use a second mouse and keyboard. At least two separate processes are provided, including a long transition for initial pairing or re-pairing and a short transition for re-establishing a connection after devices have already been paired.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition is provided having ingredients that may prevent signs or conditions of aging and/or damage in skin, improve the aesthetic appearance of skin, and promote recovery from environmental stresses. The composition includes natural ingredients, including pomegranate juice concentrate; pomegranate extract; pomegranate seed oil; and at least one pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable vehicle.

Abstract: A method of reducing an involuntary cull in production animals. The method comprising the step of administering to the production animals a composition comprising an effective amount of a pomegranate extract substantially derived from the whole fruits of pomegranate. The pomegranate extract can be in powder, liquid or solid form and mixed into foods as part of a regular regime of the production animals diet. When site specific treatment is needed such as with mastitis in milk cows the pomegranate extract may be injected directly to the site where treatment is desired.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, composition and product by process of pomegranate seed oil. The present invention provides a novel method for the preparation of pomegranate seeds and the subsequent extraction, stabilization and deodorization of pomegranate seed oil. The process maintains key beneficial components of pomegranate seed oil. Effective processing parameters for separating, drying, cleaning, flaking, obtaining the oil from seeds, stabilizing through refining and bleaching and deodorizing the oil are described.

Abstract: A telephony method and apparatus for communicating over a network. The apparatus has a device for receiving a signal representing a telephone number from a digital network. In addition, the apparatus includes a database containing a plurality of telephone numbers and a corresponding plurality of network addresses. The database is coupled to the receiving device. The apparatus also includes a device for transmitting, over the digital network, a signal representing an internet address corresponding to the telephone number. The transmitting device is coupled between the database and the digital network. The telephony method includes configuring a local encoder for internet telephony and querying and address mapping server for a destination address. The telephony method also includes searching a database associated with the address mapping server for the destination address and returning the destination address from the address mapping server to the local encoder.

Abstract: Low oil potato chips are produced by washing potato slices with an aqueous solution and applying oil to the washed slices to at least partially coat the slices with oil. The oil-coated slices are blanched at a temperature of about 70.degree.-100.degree. C. (about 160.degree.-212.degree. F.), and then baked at a high temperature of at least about 200.degree. C. (about 390.degree. F.) but below the smoke point of the oil, to partially dry the slices to an aqueous moisture content of about 10-25 weight percent. The partially dried slices are further baked at a low temperature of about 145.degree.-160.degree. C. (about 290.degree.-320.degree. F.) to finish drying the slices to an aqueous moisture content of about 2 weight percent or less.
