Abstract: A method for preparing a botanical extract includes extracting plant matter with ultrapure water, and separating the solid plant matter from the liquid fraction, concentrating the liquid fraction, and purifying the concentrated liquid fraction by tangential flow filtration.

Abstract: A method for treating inflammation, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, vascular diseases, cutaneous diseases, in a subject in need thereof. The method includes administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a powdered food composition, obtained from lemon containing between 1% and 30% (w/w) of eriocitrin, in a dose of eriocitrin between 5 and 35 mg per day.

Abstract: A refrigeration system includes a first circulation fan electrically coupled to a power source via a first load wire. A relay is electrically coupled to the first circulation fan via a second load wire and to the power source. In an open position, the relay interrupts electrical voltage from the relay to the first circulation fan via the second load wire causing the first circulation fan to operate in a low-speed mode. In a closed position, the relay supplies electrical voltage to the first circulation fan via the second load wire causing the first circulation fan to operate in a high-speed mode. Operation of the first circulation fan in the high-speed mode reduces a defrost cycle time associated with the refrigeration system relative to operation of the first circulation fan in low-speed mode.

Abstract: A fluid infusion device includes multiple angular oriented fluid inlet ports connected to a manifold via one way valves, and a further port allowing fluid flow to or from the manifold. Each of the inlet ports may have a Luer fitting and a self-sealing swabable valve adapted for receiving a syringe. A tubing connector is adapted for receiving a mating connector at an outlet end of the manifold. A mounting bracket on the manifold or on a housing of the device cooperates with typical hospital equipment support structure.

Abstract: An infusion apparatus comprises a plurality of ports, a plurality of one-way directional valves, and a joint. Each port is adapted to receive and secure a syringe to allow for a flow of a liquid through the syringe into the port. Each one-way directional valve is in fluid communication with a respective port of the plurality of ports to enable the liquid to flow away from the port. The joint has a plurality of inputs to receive the flow from the plurality of one-way directional valves. The inputs are in fluid communication with each individual port of the plurality of ports. The joint has an output.
