Abstract:
Systems and methods are described for modifying a cosmetic product based on a microbe profile including an ingredient-microbe interaction dataset including information associated with interactions between reference cosmetic ingredients and types of reference microbes; and a computing device including circuitry configured to receive information associated with the microbe profile of an individual, receive information associated with an ingredient list of the cosmetic product, compare the microbe profile of the individual and the ingredient list of the cosmetic product to the ingredient-microbe interaction dataset, identify an interaction between at least one cosmetic ingredient in the ingredient list of the cosmetic product and at least one of the one or more types of microbes in the microbe profile of the individual, recommend a modification to the ingredient list in response to an identified interaction, and report to a user the recommended modification.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for actively releasing food additives to deliver aromatic compounds to consumers during food or drink consumption. The food additives may be contained within an encapsulation layer. The encapsulation layer may be configured to release the food additives in response to being exposed to energy provided by an activation source proximate to the food additives. The activation source may be incorporated into, or connected with, an eating utensil or an oral implant. The activation source can be manually controlled by a consumer, can be controlled based on conditions near the food additives, or can be programmed with a release schedule that defines how and when food additives are to be released.
Abstract:
Observing intracranial physiology includes inserting a bladder at least partially filled with a fluid into a subdural region of interest within a subject, wherein the bladder is coupled in flow communication with a means of indicating a pressure exerted on the bladder within the region of interest. Embodiments also include non-invasively interrogating the means of indicating to determine the pressure exerted on the bladder
Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein for treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition in a vertebrate subject. A device is provided that includes one or more cooling elements configured to be applied to one or more tissues of a vertebrate subject to modulate at least one activity of brown adipose tissue of the vertebrate subject, and a programmable controller configured to provide instructions to the one or more cooling elements in response to information regarding one or more physiological conditions of the vertebrate subject.
Abstract:
A micro-impulse radar (MIR) may be configured to provide information about at least one person in a region. A media output device may be driven responsive to the information to output media content to the at least one person.
Abstract:
Diatom devices are disclosed including devices for biocompatible implantation. The diatom structures are useful for providing living cells and tissues as well as biologically active molecules to subjects.
Abstract:
Methods and related systems for modulating neural activity by repetitively or cyclically blocking conduction in a peripheral neural structure are disclosed. Timing of delivery of blocking stimuli may be based upon overall activity level of the subject or use/activity of a portion of the body of a subject.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a system includes, but is not limited to, at least one computer program for use with at least one computer system and wherein the computer program includes a plurality of instructions, including but not limited to, one or more instructions for determining at least one correlation between at least one epigenetic-influencing event and at least one aspect of epigenetic phenotype information regarding at least one individual.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, devices and systems are described that include accepting one or more blood vessel sleeve dimensions based on blood vessel data from an individual; and making a rapid-prototyped blood vessel sleev at least partly based on the one or more blood vessel sleeve dimensions.
