  • Patent number: 11633452
    Abstract: A method of treating vaginal dryness by administering a vaginal care composition, which includes an effective amount of a vaginal care agent, to vaginal tissue of a user experiencing vaginal dryness. The vaginal care agent may be selected to specifically treat symptoms of vaginal dryness exhibited by the introitus and/or labia, based on the transcriptomic data of skin cells obtained therefrom. In some instances, the vaginal care composition may be applied to introitus and/or labia with a suitable implement configured for such use.

  • Patent number: 11573807
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing user interfaces. User interface (UI) models associated with concepts may be provided such that the UI models include visualizations. Other concepts may be associated with a data model based on fields of the data model. Characteristics of the concepts associated with each UI model and the other concepts associated with the data model may be compared to each other such that results of each comparison may be employed to generate a score for each UI model. The UI models may be ordered based on each score. A report that includes a rank ordered list of the UI models may be provided.

  • Patent number: 11137222
    Abstract: A firearm can have a bolt having a plurality of locking lugs that are configured to have a shear area that is larger than that of a standard M16/M4. A bolt carrier can have a bolt that has a double cut cam having an unlocking cam surface that has sufficient dwell increase to delay a start of unlocking when the bolt carrier is used in an M4 carbine. A stepped extractor pin may be provided that prevents disengagement of the extractor pin. A tube can be configured to provide gas from a barrel of the firearm to the piston via the carrier key. The tube can have a heat radiator formed from triangular shaped threads on at least a portion of the tube. A piston on the bolt and can have a plurality of rings including pairs of mating rings that are formed and maintained as a matched pair.

  • Patent number: 10963669
    Abstract: A device for collecting personal data from a user includes a processor, a sensing device, a document scanner, and a scene camera. The sensing device is configured to capture a biometric of user. The document scanner is configured to produce a visual representation of an identifying document that includes personally identifying information. The scene camera monitors and captures a video of an uninterrupted area surrounding the kiosk including the user, the sensing device, and the document scanner. The processor transmits the captured video to a remote station that can send a signal back to the device.
