Abstract: Co-products from juice extraction, in particular for use in beverage and food products to enhance the metabolic and gut health benefits, including an enhanced feeling of satiety, a reduction of postprandial glucose response, reduction of postprandial insulin response, an increased fermentability by colonic microlfora, an increase short-chain fatty acid production in the colon provided to the consumer are provided. The co-product has a number average particle size of between 1 and 2000 microns, a total polyphenol content of at least 2500 parts per million, a moisture content of between 70% and 85% by weight, and a combined peel and seed content between 0.01% and 20% by weight.

Abstract: An odor eliminating solution comprises the active deodorizing and antimicrobial agents of silver nanoparticles dispersed in colloidal suspension in a solution containing excess sodium tetraborate decahydrate, commonly referred to as borax. The silver nanoparticles provide deodorizing and antimicrobial properties through the colloidal dispersion which provides a high surface area to volume ratio for the suspension. The sodium tetraborate decahydrate provides deodorizing and antimicrobial properties through its co-complexing ability with various substances. The combination of both provides the present invention with long term stability and deodorizing and antimicrobial activity. Furthermore, the present invention include the method for formulating the odor eliminating solution through the combination of a silver nanoparticle source solution and an aqueous sodium tetraborate solution which results in a chemical reaction that synthesizes the silver nanoparticles from the silver cations.

Abstract: An armrest includes a stem and a sleeve defining a cavity. At least a portion of the stem is received in the cavity, with the stem being moveable relative to the sleeve. The sleeve includes opposite side walls defining in part the cavity, wherein at least one of the side walls includes a plurality of vertically spaced recesses. A carrier is moveably coupled to the stem. At least one lock member is carried by the carrier and is moveable relative to the carrier between a locked position and an unlocked position as the carrier is moved. The at least one lock member is received in at least one of the vertically spaced recesses when moved to the locked position. The at least one lock member is displaced from the vertically spaced recesses when moved to the unlocked position. A method of adjusting the armrest is also provided, as well as an adjustable arm support supported by the stem and methods for the use thereof.

Abstract: A system and method for training a user on any number of computer software applications. The computer is directed by at least one computer program within a distribution engine 15 to perform a diagnosis of the skill level of a user on a computer software application, prescribe a training plan that will allow the user to achieve a minimum skill level on the computer software application, and provide the user access to a plurality of training software programs to enable a user to complete the training plan.
