Abstract: Methods for the enzymatic modification of saponins produced in plant cell culture, products made thereby, uses of said products and also to other associated aspects. The saponins may be obtained from plant cell culture extracts of Quillaja species, such as extracts of Quillaja saponaria Molina.

Abstract: A glove having a palm covering for covering the palm of a hand. The palm covering is formed with an opening for receiving the fingers and a hand. A plurality of finger coverings communicate with the palm covering an end of the palm covering opposite the opening. A first member is disposed on the palm portion and extends substantially across the palm portion. A second member disposed on the palm portion extends substantially across the palm covering, forming a channel along the palm covering between the first member and second member for gripping an item held by a user with the glove.

Abstract: A knee pad includes a sleeve. A pad is disclosed on an outer surface of the sleeve having a length and a width. A channel is formed across substantially, the length of at least one of the length and width. In one embodiment, an insert is provided, the insert being sized to be received within the at least one channel. A fastener selectively fastens the insert within the channel.

Abstract: Apparatus comprising one or more inputs configured to receive a configurable control signal from a configurable signal generator; and a non-calibrated touch input signal from a touch sensor. Said non-calibrated touch input signal generated by detecting both internal and external forces applied to the touch sensor. The apparatus also comprises a calibrator configured to process the non-calibrated touch input signal and the configurable control signal to remove the contribution of the internal forces from the non-calibrated signal to generate a calibrated signal, the calibrated signal for use in the detection of an external force applied to the touch sensor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel system and method for managing electronic communications. In one embodiment, a mail server is coupled to a client and a policy server. For an email outbound from the client, the email is first sent to the policy server which applies a policy against the email. If the email complies with the policy, the policy server generates a report which is attached to the email. The mail server is configured to refuse to send the outbound email without a report that indicates the email complies with the policy.
