Abstract: A needleless injection system includes a pusher that pushes a plunger within a tapered bore of a cartridge. The pusher includes a nib, the tip of which is a ball.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of information lifecycle management is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes reading, by a data processing system of a storage environment, business rules and policies for managing data in storage volumes of the storage environment, the policies being based on the predetermined business rules, and analyzing, by the data processing system, available storage and capacity in the storage environment. The computer-implemented method further includes dynamically prioritizing, by the data processing system, the policies based, at least in part, on results of the analyzing, resulting in prioritized policies, cognitively translating, by the data processing system, one or more of the predetermined business rules into action(s) against one or more of the storage volumes based, at least in part, on the prioritized policies, and executing, by the data processing system, the action(s).

Abstract: A display system which includes a display controller, a display unit, and a light source is disclosed. The display controller includes a processor unit, a memory device, a voltage source and, optionally, a light source control unit. The display unit includes an array of pixel cells and circuitry to receive logic and control voltages and data and operate the display, a transparent counter electrode, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the two alignment layers. The pixel cell includes a storage element, a DC balance control switch, a pixel voltage override circuit, an inverter able to select between two voltages available to it, and a pixel electrode/mirror. In different modes of operation the pixel mirror voltage may be determined by the storage element or by the pixel voltage override circuit. The display system may display images in one period and reset to a fixed state in another period.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing black leaf tea that looks and feels like orthodox processed tea but has the liquor characteristics of a fuller fermented CTC processed tea. The process involves withering a first supply of freshly plucked tea leaves, macerating the withered leaves, allowing the macerated withered leaves to ferment to produce macerated dhool, withering a second supply of freshly plucked tea leaves, mixing the macerated dhool obtained from the first supply of leaves with the withered leaves obtained from the second supply of leaves, rolling the mixture, allowing the rolled mixture to ferment, and drying the fermented mixture to yield black leaf tea.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming and holding fish bait such as cheese or the like and for easy insertion of a fish hook therein. A flat mold member is provided with a plurality of indentations therein of generally cylindrical shape and with a generally hemispherical bottom with a vent hole therethrough communicating with the atmosphere. The indentations are sized to receive a fish hook, preferably a treble hook, therein. The cheese is spread across the mold member and into the indentations, being scraped level with the top thereof. Trapped air can escape through the vent hole. A treble hook can then be inserted into a cheese-filled indentation and then be withdrawn with the cheese adhering thereto. The vent hole allows air to re-enter so that the baited hook can be removed. A covered container is also provided for holding the mold member with the bait in the indentations for carrying in a safe manner. The bait is applied to the hooks as needed at time of use.
