Abstract: The present invention provides a dietary supplement, and method for making the same, comprising a glucosamine-based beverage that has the physical appearance of water, or that otherwise appears substantially transparent in its final form. The method for making the glucosamine-based beverage includes passing an aqueous glucosamine-containing solution through a multiple-step filtration process at a predetermined pH level. The first filtration step is performed with a porous volumetric fiber matrix, which is a Nominal rated filter with a cut off in the range of 0.5-1.2 microns, and preferably 0.5 microns, and at a cross-filter pressure less than or equal to 10 psi. The second filtration step is performed with a membrane filter, which is an Absolute rated filter with a cut off in the range 0.3-0.6 microns, and preferably 0.45 microns, and at a cross-filter pressure less than or equal to 10 psi.

Abstract: A security device for locking the cable of a bonnet lock of a car comprising a housing with cable inlets. The inner core of the cable is secured to a cable engaging member which is movable within the housing on a pivot member about a pivot pin. A solenoid spindle mounted on the pivot member engages a bracket mounted on the housing to prevent pivotal movement of the cable engaging member. A compression spring biases the spindle into engagement with the bracket on de-energizing of the solenoid to lock the cable.
