A jadeite material has a thickness in excess of about 1.0 mm and CIELAB indices of L*>42, a* +6. The grain size of the jadeite material is less than about 30 microns and is an equiaxed grain structure. The jadeite material has an optical transmission peak between 500 and 565 nm with an I/IO optical transmission ratio of over 40%. The first step in making the jadeite material is to wrap a glass block, convertible by HP/HT into jadeite and having a nominal composition of NaAlSi2O6, with a graphite or refractive metal sheet. The wrapped glass block is placed in an HP/HT apparatus, rapidly heated, and subjected therein to a pressure in excess of about 3 GPa and a temperature in excess of about 1000° C. for a time adequate to convert the glass block into jadeite. The jadeite material then is cooled and the pressure subsequently released.

In one embodiment, a plurality of thickfilm dielectric layers are printed on a substrate, with each successive layer being printed over a previous layer, and with each layer having sloped walls. After printing a first subset of the plurality of thickfilm dielectric layers, a first conductive thickfilm is printed over at least the walls of the first subset of dielectric layers. Then, after printing a second subset of the plurality of thickfilm dielectric layers, a second conductive thickfilm is printed over the second subset of dielectric layers (with the first and second conductive thickfilms being electrically coupled).

Use of dried rehydratable food, such as in a dried soup, a dried beverage, a breakfast cereal, a yoghurt and a dried sauce, is widespread. However it has been observed that when the dried components are fruit and/or vegetable, the components, on rehydration, do not resemble the fruit and/or vegetable before desiccation. That is to say they no longer have a fresh appearance but are discoloured and lack firmness. This transformation is due to cellular damage which occurs during desiccation. In particular, it is thought that phospholipid membranes are destabilised by insertion of cellular amphiphiles, phase transition into the gel phase and membrane fusion. This invention seeks to solve the above-mentioned technical problem by providing, amongst other things, a dried rehydratable food which is a fruit, vegetable or part thereof which, on rehydration, has improved appearance, texture and rehydration properties. In particular, a dried rehydratable food is provided, the food comprising less than 10% w/w water and at least 0.02% w/w of a dehydrin protein and derivatives thereof, the dehydrin protein and derivatives thereof comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of K,I,K,E,K,L,P,G; K,I,K,E/D,K,L/I,P,G; and K,I,K,E/D,K,L/I/TA/,P/H/S,G, and wherein the dried rehydratable food is unbroken tissue of a vegetable or part thereof and/or a fruit or part thereof, and not a seed, wherein the unbroken tissue has a shortest linear dimension of at least 0.5 millimetres, preferably a shortest linear dimension of 0.5 to 25, more preferably 0.5 to 10 millimetres. A food product comprising the dried rehydratable food and methods for manufacturing the dried rehydratable food are also provided.

This invention relates to the provision of an edible composition for the treatment of cutaneous signs of ageing, in particular those associated with loss of skin elasticity, wrinkles and sagging. Thus the inventive composition provides skin benefits selected from the group consisting of enhancing collagen deposition in the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and reducing sagging. Thus the invention provides an edible composition for treating aged skin, the composition comprising: (a) 2 to 1000, preferably 5 to 750, most preferably 10 to 500 mg anthocyanidin and derivatives thereof; and (b) 1 to 20, preferably 5 to 15, most preferably 2 to 10 mg lutein and derivatives thereof; wherein the weight ratio of anthocyanidin to lutein is at least 1:1, preferably at least 10:1 and more preferably at least 25:1, even more preferably at least 50:1, most preferably at least 100:1; wherein the composition excludes copper in the form of separately or in combination copper gluconate and copper oxide; and further excludes separately or in combination with the copper exclusion Nandina domestica or an extract thereof. The invention also relates to a cosmetic method for providing the aforesaid skin benefits using the inventive composition.

Systems and methods are provided for encrypting data without regard to applications writing the data to, or reading the data from, encrypted data storage devices. An operating system intercept detects information indicating that a file will be encrypted and, in respond, sets device-level flags indicating encryption and also establishes one or more encryption keys to be used in the encryption process. A second intercept detects an input/output event and, in response, calls an encryption application to encrypt (or decrypt) the data before it is written to (or read from) the data storage device.

A new medicine vial holding device for holding a medicine vial so that a user may extract medicine from the vial with a syringe. The inventive device includes a base and a support member which is upwardly extended from the upper surface of the base member. The back portion of a clip member is coupled to the first surface of the support member so that the clip member is positioned towards the top side of the support member. The clip member also has a pair of spaced apart arms adapted to hold a medicine vial therebetween.
