Abstract: This specification discloses methods for removing unwanted flavors from legume protein concentrates, which are powdered legume compositions that have been classified to increase the protein compared to the protein content of the base legume. In at least some embodiments the methods are used to make de-flavored pea protein concentrates. Advantageously, the methods are selected to minimize damage to the de-flavored legume protein concentrates by reference to percent change of denaturation enthalpy compared an untreated legume protein concentrate.

Abstract: This specification discloses methods for removing unwanted flavors from legume protein concentrates, which are powdered legume compositions that have been classified to increase the protein compared to the protein content of the base legume. In at least some embodiments the methods are used to make de-flavored fava bean protein concentrates. Advantageously, the methods are selected to minimize damage to the de-flavored legume protein concentrates by reference to percent change of denaturation enthalpy compared an untreated legume protein concentrate.

Abstract: This specification discloses de-flavored legume flour have less intense flavor profiles compared to untreated legume flour. The disclosed de-flavored legume flours have been processed to reduce flavor while minimizing damage to the components to the de-flavored legume flour (compared to an untreated legume flour). The disclosed de-flavored legume flours can be adjusted to have functionality like an untreated legume flour or to have improved function compared to untreated legume flour.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for generating a new chart based on a source chart and a destination chart. The method includes accessing source chart data in respect of the source chart, wherein the source chart data defines a set of source chart data series and a set of source chart colours, and wherein each source chart data series is associated with a source chart colour and accessing destination chart data in respect of the destination chart, wherein the destination chart data defines a set of destination chart data series and a set of destination chart colours, and wherein each destination chart data series is associated with a destination chart colour. The method further includes determining that the number of source chart colours is less than the number of destination chart colours and, in response, generating one or more new chart colours.

Abstract: A firearm hand grip can have a cylindrical body with grooves, digit ridges, and a digit rest. The grooves can be circumferential grooves completely encircling the cylindrical body and providing improved grip relative to a smooth surface. The digit ridges can be positioned to fit comfortably between a user's fingers while the digit rest supports the lowest finger. The hand grip's top section includes a right cheek, a left cheek, and a receiver interface. The top section can be used to attach the hand grip to a firearm and can be shaped to blend smoothly into a firearm receiver. The cylindrical body is between the top section and the bottom of the hand grip. The dimensions of the hand grip include the cylindrical body's outer diameter, digit ridge offset distance, and digit rest offset distance. The dimensions are selected to ensure user comfort while using the firearm.

Abstract: The technology disclosed in this specification pertains to a heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrates having between 50% and 73% and a denaturation enthalpy from about 5.5 and 6.5 J/g. This is limited degree of denaturation. The disclosed heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrates are useful as emulsifiers, and good solubility in water, and reduced flavor.

Abstract: The invention relates to new compounds that reduce c-Myc expression and useful for cancer treatment, particularly hematological cancers such as aggressive B- and T-cell lymphomas. The new compounds may be combined with adjunct c-Myc inhibor agents such as a PI3K inhibitor, CK-1 inhibitor, Akt-inhibitor, proteasome inhibitor and/or mTor inhibitor. The c-Myc reducing agent may be provided as a lead-in treatment to reduce or initiate reduction of c-Myc prior to adminstration of the adjunct cancer therapeutic agent. Treatment with a c-Myc reducing agent modulates the disease state of the c-Myc overexpressing cancer making it less malignant and more susceptible to adjunctive cancer therapies.

Abstract: The invention relates to the co-administration of select proteasome and PI3K inhibitors is useful for treating c-Myc-overexpressing cancers, particularly hematological cancers such as aggressive B- and T-cell lymphomas. In exemplified embodiments, coadministration of a dual PI3K/CK-1 inhibitor with a proteasome inhibitor synergistically increases cell death of aggressive B- and T-cell lymphomas as well as multiple myeloma over the individual or additive effect of either or both agents. This synergistic effect is associated with the previously unknown inhibition of the kinase casein kinase 1 epsilon (CK-1?) by a PI3K inhibitor, such as TGR-1202. Accordingly, use of PI3K inhibitors that possess CK-1? inhibition in combination with proteasome inhibitors provides a new therapy regime for treating c-Myc-overexpressing cancers, and particularly hematological cancers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing fraud protection in purchase transactions made by a customer. The method including the steps of: receiving a purchase request for one or more items having a first price; generating a second price and/or an applied identifier that is unknown to the customer; applying a charge of the second price and/or the applied identifier using payment details provided; receiving data indicative of a third price and/or a recorded identifier; and comparing the data with the second price and/or the applied identifier; wherein if data is equal to the second price and/or applied identifier then finalise the purchase request.
