Abstract: Stable liquid formulations of GLP-1 and GLP-1 analogues and method of using such formulations in the treatment of disorders or conditions are provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for timestamping events on edge devices. A trusted source measures the latency to the edge device and the edge device's clock offset, and stores the information at the trusted source for later use. The trusted source sends the latency and the device's clock offset to the edge device for later use. The trusted source or the edge device adjusts a timestamp generated at the edge device using an estimated clock offset. The estimated clock offset is determined by extrapolation or interpolation from measured clock offsets.

Abstract: A sliding door handle and strike assembly includes a locking member for engaging the strike to prevent the door from opening. The locking member is biased to an unlocked position, until it is moved into a locking position, in which magnetic co-operation acts to hold the locking member in the locking position.

Abstract: A latch arrangement for a sliding wing has a latching member that is movable by magnetic force from first position in which it is at least partially retracted within a latch housing, to a second position in which it extends at least partially out of the housing, to be received in a strike. The strike comprises a magnet or ferromagnetic arrangement to attract the latching member into a receiving and engaging formation of the strike when the sliding wing is located at or adjacent the strike.

Abstract: The invention provides an oil-in-water emulsion useful in the treatment of anorectal disorders comprising a local anesthetic, vasoconstrictor, glycerin and water, and method of preparation of the emulsion and a method for treating hemorrhoids using the composition of the invention.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for assessing characteristics of a semisolid material is provided. The method and apparatus are particularly well suited for the testing of semisolid cosmetic products in stick form such as lipsticks, lip salves, and deodorant sticks. The method includes testing the rate of deposition of the semisolid material onto a substrate when a test sample of the material is moved against the substrate under controlled conditions. The method also includes measuring the drag on a test sample of the material when the test sample is moved against the substrate under controlled conditions. The illustrated testing apparatus permits a researcher to perform these tests on a test sample. The testing results in qualitative, reproducible data which can be used to compare different batches of the semisolid materials for consistency, and which can be correlated with qualitative human test panel data about the semisolid material for research and development purposes.
