Abstract: Delivery of antioxidants (Vitamin C, Vitamin E, riboflavin, and beta-carotene) directly to the large intestine were seen to decrease the population of Fusobacterium in the gut microbiome. An increased population of these bacteria is associated with Fusobacterium bacteremia as a co-morbidity with any one of: malignancy, dementia, chronic obstructive lung disease, diabetes, heart disease, alcoholism, disease(s) requiring dialysis, and stroke; colorectal cancer; digestive diseases including Ulcerative colitis; Crohn's disease; and/or Pediatric or adult inflammatory bowel disease; colorectal and other cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, adverse pregnancy-related conditions, and HIV.

Abstract: An improved approach is provided for mounting individual wires from multi-wire cables onto circuit boards. A wire comb is mounted adjacent one or more ends of the circuit board to permit a rapid yet positive way to space apart individual wires, to hold them in place; and to permit welding or soldering of the wires to the appropriate connections or the circuit board during an overmolding process.

Abstract: A computerized switching system for coupling a workstation to a remotely located computer. A signal conditioning unit receives keyboard and mouse signals generated by a workstation and generates a data packet which is transmitted to a central crosspoint switch. The packet is routed through a crosspoint switch to another signal conditioning unit located at a remotely located computer. The second signal conditioning unit applies the keyboard and mouse commands to the keyboard and mouse connectors of the computer as if the keyboard and mouse were directly coupled to the remote computer. Video signals produced by the remote computer are transmitted through the crosspoint switch to the workstation. Horizontal and vertical sync signals are encoded on to the video signals to reduce the number of cables that extend between the workstation and the remote computer.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a hybrid corn plant, designated 3471, produced by crossing two Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. proprietary inbred corn lines. This invention thus relates to the hybrid seed 3471, the hybrid plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and modifications of Pioneer hybrid 3471. This hybrid corn plant is characterized by superior qualities of good ear size, excellent late-season plant health and seedling (young plant) vigor, and fast dry-down in the field. 3471 is relatively tall and flowers late for its relative maturity classification.
