Abstract: Stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) for treatment of several neurological, muscular and infertility diseases and conditions is provided. In particular, the stabilized ACC may be used in the treatment of axonal defects and muscular dystrophy. In addition, provided are improved methods used in assistant reproductive technology. Examples of such methods are in vitro fertilization and improvement of sperm quality. The improved IVF method, for example, comprises addition of the stabilized ACC to the cell culture medium in which the stages of fertilization and embryo development occurs.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product of determining a state of a vehicle driver, the method comprising: receiving an image of the driver captured by a hyper spectral camera capable of imaging body features invisible to a human; receiving telemetry information from a car telemetry system; analyzing the image to receive at least one indicator to a clinical parameter of the driver; and fusing the at least one indicator with the telemetry information to obtain an assessment to a stress level of the driver.

Abstract: A multilayer material is disclosed which consists of polyethylene foam sandwiched between two external layers of high-density polyethylene. A two-step manufacturing process for forming such a multilayer material is disclosed, which consists of (1) thermal bonding of a roll stock of PE foam with a roll stock of HDPE/LDPE laminate, followed by cutting into composites, and (2) thermal bonding of two composites to form a multilayer material.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), suitable to being administered by inhalation, and methods for their use in treating ACC-responsive diseases and conditions. Further provided are ACC compositions suitable for buccal or sublingual administration.

Abstract: The present invention provides solid compositions of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and a polyphosphate, bisphosphonate or pharmaceutical salts thereof as a stabilizer. Said stabilizers stabilizes the ACC and prevent crystallization to crystalline calcium carbonate ((?((?) for a long period of time, even in an aqueous suspension. The invention further provides pharmaceutical composition comprising the solid ACC compositions as well their use in treating of certain diseases and conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to construction assemblies or modules. There are attachment members that are connected by pressing an elastic protrusion head through an aperture and threading the protrusion head from one side of the aperture to the other. As the area of the aperture is smaller than area of front projection plane of the protrusion head, threading the protrusion head into the aperture requires the deformation of the protrusion head. After traversing the aperture, the protrusion head returns to its non-deformated shape, and the protrusion neck is settled within the aperture.

Abstract: The present invention provides stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) formulations, comprising ACC and a non-aqueous liquid carrier in which the ACC is dispersed. The present invention further provides cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions comprising ACC.

Abstract: The present invention provides stable amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) compositions, and food articles comprising said compositions.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic documents management system and method for classifying, publishing, searching and locating electronic documents. Electronic documents are classified and published via an ontological description consisting of at least one vector, each vector comprising at least one feature-value pair. Each vector's slot corresponds to a feature and the vector's range of each slot corresponds to the set of all possible values of each feature. In order to classify an electronic document, two hashing functions are applied. A first hashing function maps each feature to a slot number, corresponding to a coordinate in the appropriate vector. A second hashing function maps the value of each pair to a numeric value of a slot, corresponding to the range of each coordinate. The result of the two hashing functions is an ordered vector that can be mapped to a node in hypercube.

Abstract: A method for communication includes providing an item of media content for streaming in a plurality of versions having different, respective bit rates. The media content is streamed from a server to a client by transmitting a first version of the item over a network at a first bit rate from the server to the client via a server buffer associated with the server and monitoring a fill level of the server buffer while streaming the media content. The server switches to transmitting a second version of the item at a second bit rate, different from the first bit rate, to the client in response to a change in the fill level of the server buffer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining an phase spectrum ?(?) of the complex spectral transfer function H(?) of a medium. In some embodiments, the method is applied for detecting or imaging an object screened by scattering medium or for determining a refractive index spectrum of a material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hierarchical system and method for task assignment (TA), coordination and communication of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (DAV's) engaging multiple attack targets and conceives an ad-hoc routing algorithm for synchronization of target lists utilizing a distributed computing topology. Assuming limited communication bandwidth and range, coordination of UAV motion is achieved by implementing a simple behavioral flocking algorithm utilizing a tree topology for target list routing. The TA algorithm is based on a graph-theoretic approach, in which a node locates all the detectable targets, identifies them and computes its distance to each target. The node then produces an attack plan that minimizes the sum of distances of the UAV's in the subtree of a given node to the targets.
