Abstract: A switch for a downhole tool features a circuit board having a plurality of push connectors and a container for enclosing the circuit board, the circuit board making electrical connection in the container by pushing the circuit board into the container, or by pushing electrical connectors into the container.

Abstract: Shaped charge tools for perforating hydrocarbon wells are described herein. A shaped charge frame assembly described herein comprises a tubular electrical conductor and a shaped charge frame disposed around the tubular electrical conductor and rotatably engaged with the tubular electrical conductor. One or more bearings may be used to engage the shaped charge frame with the tubular electrical conductor, or the engagement may be bearing-free.

Abstract: A tabletop for a table that can rotate between a use position and a stowed position. The table may include at least one rotation mechanism. The rotation mechanism may comprise: a housing pivotally connected to a cross-bar, an activation rod connected to a deadbolt and a hook plate and a grip bar connected to the activation rod. When the table is in a use position, the hook plate engages an opening in the primary cross-bar, where the use position is defined as when the tabletop is oriented substantially parallel to a surface supporting the table, and when the table is in a stowed position, the deadbolt receives an engaging member that is connected to the primary cross-bar, where the stowed position is defined as when the tabletop is oriented substantially perpendicular to the surface supporting the table.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a topical composition that delivers advanced environmental protection to the skin, brightens the complexion of the skin, and delivers anti-aging benefits to the skin. The topical composition includes a vitamin C source, a copper source, one or more cannabinoid components, and sodium hyaluronate. Also disclosed herein are methods of administering the topical compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed in certain embodiments herein is a topical composition that delivers advanced environmental protection to the skin, brightens the complexion of the skin, and/or delivers anti-aging benefits to the skin by treating ntrinsic and/or extrinsic factors associated with the appearance and health of the skin. The topical composition may be an emulsion of an aqueous phase and an oily phase, or other two-phase system, that includes an ascorbate component and an antioxidant system that includes green tea polyphenols. Also disclosed herein are methods of administering the topical compositions described herein for treating a skin of a subject for effects of radical induced damage, atmospheric aging, and as part of a variety of dermatological procedures.

Abstract: A composition is provided to treat and/or prevent for treating skin conditions including fine lines and wrinkles, acne rosacea, surface irregularities of the skin and hyper-pigmentation melasma of the skin, which includes use of a topically applied composition such as an ointment, lotion, cream, serum, gel or pad applied formulation, containing an effective amount of polyphenols, such as green tea based polyphenols, including but not limited to catechins, such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicathechin 3-gallate (ECG) and epicatechin (EC). The formulation is preferably composed of 90 percent polyphenol isolates, derived from green tea with potent antioxidant properties, to assist in minimizing free-radical induced skin damage.

Abstract: A software application includes program codes for executing a plurality of steps for collecting, processing and validating inventory data by a computer. The software application is used for maintaining accurate stock keeping information of a retail store, a warehouse or of any other location where inventory is stored. The software application can be incorporated into a hand-held computer or any other computer configured to take physical inventory of merchandize. The application includes a download data module configured to receive selected background information required to process the inventory data being collected by the computer. The application also includes a parameterization module configured to create data structures for the collection of inventory data, and a data capture module configured to collect records of inventory data. The application includes a reporting module configured to generate reports of the collected inventory data, and an upload module configured to transmit collected inventory data.

Abstract: A stable composition is provided to treat and/or prevent photo-aged skin and related skin disorders such as sunburn, wrinkles, poor skin tone and skin discoloration by topically applying to the skin the treatment composition containing an effective amount of a compound such as ascorbic acid, derivatives of ascorbic acid and/or extracts containing ascorbic acid, in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle containing a substantially anhydrous base having no water added. The anhydrous base stabilizes the compound, so that the compound remains effective for an effective period of time, even in the presence of exposure to water. Preferably, the anhydrous base is a single phase carrier, as opposed to a two phase carrier emulsion.
