Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional supplement for use to ameliorate the effect of a pneumonia in a human, which supplement comprises a mixture of bioflavonoids which contains at least 45% wt/wt (of the total bioflavonoids) of naringin and at least 15% wt/wt of neohesperidin, wherein said supplement is in a form suitable for oral administration or administration to the lung by insufflation or inhalation. The present invention also provides a method of treatment of pneumonia using the aforementioned nutritional supplements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional supplement for use by oral administration to a human for ameliorating adverse medical conditions deriving at least in part from a metabolic dysfunction and/or an intestinal dysfunction, which supplement is in a form suitable for oral administration and comprises a mixture of bioflavonoids which include at least 45% wt/wt naringin and at least 15% wt/wt of neohesperidin of the bioflavonoids present. The present invention also provides a method of treatment of the aforementioned medical conditions using the aforementioned nutritional supplements.

Abstract: A flooring element suitable for connection to other elements in a flooring system. The flooring element comprises a body, a female connector and a retainer. The body defines a connector surface that is horizontal when in use. The female connector comprises a connector recess which is suitable for receiving a male connector and also which defines a connector opening in the connector surface. The retainer is connectable to the body such that, while it is connected to the body, the retainer is movable between and open position and a closed position. When in the closed position, the retainer is arranged to restrict movement of the male connector to guard against the male connector exiting the connector recess through the connector opening. When in the open position, the retainer does not restrict movement of the male connector thereby permitting the male connector to exit the connector recess through the connector opening.

Abstract: Provided is a spring drive cam for a spring drive of a circuit breaker including a disc-like shape configured for rotating around a rotation axis in the spring drive, whereby the disc-like shape comprises a radius (R) that changes depending on an angle (?) of the radius (R) relative to a base angle (?0), and whereby a rate (dR/d?) defined by a change of the radius (R) per change of the angle (?) is ?0.3 mm/°.

Abstract: A cell washer is disclosed. The cell washer includes a vessel configured to hold cells. The vessel includes an elongated body including an opening, an inner surface, and a pocket defined by a first inner surface portion of the inner surface disposed between and radially outward relative to a second inner surface portion and a third inner surface portion of the inner surface, and a cavity. The vessel also includes an actuating device capable of causing the vessel to spin about an axis.

Abstract: A personal vaporizer device, especially an electronic smoking article, comprises a cartridge which includes a reservoir for storing a liquid to be vaporized; and an elongate body portion to which the cartridge is connected. The elongate body portion comprises a cover member which is movable in a longitudinal direction of the body portion between a first position and a second position, wherein the cartridge is substantially covered or obscured by the cover member in the first position. In the second position, the cover member is retracted.

Abstract: This application provides for determining a suggested action initiation time for an interaction with an interacting party. Some aspects comprise: determining an interaction settlement due date; querying an interaction database storing historical interaction records to determine if there is one or more of the historical interaction records related by one or more factors to the interacting party; retrieving, from the interaction database (where there is one or more historical interaction record(s) related to the interacting party), historical interaction data; determining from the retrieved historical interaction data a predicted processing time for the interaction; and determining, based on the interaction settlement due date and the predicted processing time, the suggested action initiation time.

Abstract: Systems and methods for allocating resources. The system includes a communications module, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores a data record and instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to obtain a data record and transmit an existing score indication corresponding to the data record for display at the client device; receive a first time parameter and an action indicator associated with a shared resource and, in response, determine a first provisional score corresponding to the data record based on the existing score indication, the action indicator, and the first time parameter to provide a first provisional score indication; transmit the first provisional score indication and a selectable option associated with the action indicator for display at the client device while the first provisional score indication is displayed; and in response to receiving a resource transfer instruction, allocate the shared resource associated with the action indicator.

Abstract: Methods and devices for generated and handling an alert are described. In one aspect, an electronic device includes an input interface and an output interface. The electronic device also includes a memory storing an application and a processor coupled to the input interface, the output interface and the memory. The processor is configured to generate a selectable alert on the output interface while the electronic device is in a device lock mode. The selectable alert is associated with the secure application. The processor is also configured to, while the electronic device is in the device lock mode, receive, from the input interface, a signal representing a command to activate the selectable alert. The processor is also configured to, responsive to receiving the command to activate the selectable alert, execute a secure event in the secure application while the electronic device remains in the device lock mode.
