Abstract: The present invention generally relates to dietary supplement and pharmaceutical formulations comprising layered acid protective oral dosage formulations comprising probiotics and provided as single unified or cohesive dosage form units. Each individual acid protective layer of the cohesive dosage form provides one of a different probiotic payload, a different release profile to target delivery of probiotic to a particular region in the gastrointestinal tract, or both different probiotic payloads and release profiles to target delivery of different probiotics to particular regions in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract: This invention relates to controlled release formulations of probiotic bacteria and bacteriophages, including combined formulations of probiotic bacteria and bacteriophages. The formulations contain a hydrophilic agent, an electrolytic agent and a polysaccharide and may be in tablet form for oral delivery to the intestinal system. In one preferred aspect, the formulations of the present invention effect the simultaneous introduction or addition of probiotic bacteria and bacteriophages to cause the subtraction or removal of undesirable bacteria.

Abstract: A saw guide for use with a hand power saw comprising in combination a guiding platform with two generally planar edges which underlie or form two guiding edges for guiding the shoe plate of a hand power saw across a workpiece to make cuts at various angles, and two workpiece guide bars; one guide bar is generally stationary, engaging the end surface of a workpiece to initially align the guide; the other guide bar is slideable, engaging the opposite end surface of a workpiece. The sliding guide bar is releasably clamped in position. Both guide bars work in unison to hold the saw guide in relation to both workpiece edges, allowing the saw guide to slide along the top surface of a workpiece, but not swivel out of position. Two kerf gauges are slideably interlocked at both ends of the stationary guide bar. These gauges measure a cut line along both the top surface and edge surface of a workpiece. These gauges are easily swapped or replaced for use with different power saws, blades or blade tilts.
