20110052753 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR INFLUENCING RECOVERY FROM STRENUOUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY - Compositions and methods for influencing the recovery of an animal from the effects of strenuous physical activity. The compositions generally comprise about 4% to 6% readily absorbable carbohydrate; about 10% to 30% maltodextrins; about 20% to 50% starch, for a total of about 40% to 80% carbohydrate; about 20% to about 40% protein; and optionally one or more antioxidants. The methods generally comprise administering the composition to an animal within the period from about 120 minutes before initiation of or 120 minutes after completion of the physical activity. | 03-03-2011 |
20120171303 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR EHNANCING COGNITIVE AND RELATED FUNCTIONS IN ANIMALS - Compositions comprising melatonin and one or more carotenoids and methods for using such compositions for enhancing cognitive and related functions such as reducing or preventing a decline of social interaction, reducing or preventing age-related behavioral changes, increasing trainability, improving attention, maintaining optimal brain function, facilitating learning and memory, reducing memory loss, and preventing or treating cognitive decline caused by dementia in an animal. Preferably, the compositions are food compositions useful for enhancing cognitive function in humans and companion animals. | 07-05-2012 |

20130273176 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS USEFUL FOR PROMOTING SLEEP IN ANIMALS - Methods and compositions for promoting sleep in an animal are provided. In a general aspect, a sleep promoting amount of astaxanthin and a sleep promoting amount of melatonin are administered in conjunction to an animal. The astaxanthin can be administered in an amount ranging from about 0.1 to about 60 mg/kg/body weight of the animal. The melatonin can be administered in an amount ranging from about U. I to about 40 mg/kg/body weight of the animal. The method can further comprise administering in conjunction a sleep promoting amount of zinc to the animal. The zinc can be administered in an amount ranging from about 10 to about 100 mg/kg/body weight of the animal. | 10-17-2013 |
20130317387 | METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT - The invention provides methods for diagnosing cognitive impairment in a canine. The methods comprise measuring a first body temperature of the canine from about 0.5 to about 3 hours after waking; measuring a second body temperature of the canine from about 8 to about 13 hours after measuring the first body temperature; and determining that the canine is cognitively impaired if the first body temperature is less than 0.6° C. lower than the second body temperature. | 11-28-2013 |
20140113949 | METHODS FOR REDUCING NEURODEGENERATION - The invention provides methods for reducing neurodegeneration in animals by administering a neurodegeneration reducing amount of melatonin to the animal. Generally, the melatonin is administered in amounts of either 0.1 ng/kg/day to about 10 mg/kg/day or from about 0.2 ng/day to about 3 g/day. In preferred methods, the melatonin is administered as part of a food composition. | 04-24-2014 |
20140136118 | METHODS FOR EVALUATING CANINE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY - The invention provides methods and devices for evaluating and tracking canine physical activity by determining for a canine (1) the duration of an activity or exercise; the speed of the activity or exercise based on the type of activity or exercise pace, e.g., walking, trotting, cantering, or running; a breed category factor to accommodate speed differences in distance travelled because of differences in body size and stride length; and an age factor and (2) calculating physical activity points (PAP) for the canine using an equation designed to accept input for the variables in (1) and use those variables to calculate PAP. The results from the equation are used to evaluate the physical activity of the canine and, based upon the evaluation, alter, if required, the canine's physical activity in a way that benefits the canine, particularly the canine's health. | 05-15-2014 |

20080305119 | Modified Bacteriophage Vectors and Uses Thereof - Provided herein are modified phage surface polypeptides, phages with modified surface polypeptides, nucleic acids that encode the modified surface polypeptides, and related vectors and phages comprising the vectors. The provided phage surface polypeptides optionally comprise one or more modifications, including, for example, one or more modifications to enhance targeting to an antigen-presenting cell and one or more modifications that destabilize a viral capsid. Further provided herein are methods of making a lambda phage with a modified surface polypeptide and methods of making a lambda phage with a plurality of modified surface polypeptides. Also provided herein are antigen delivery systems comprising the modified phages of the invention and methods of promoting an antigenic response in a subject by administering to the subject the antigen delivery system of the invention, alone or in combination with other immunization modalities. | 12-11-2008 |
20110081317 | Enhancing Gene Transfer - Described herein are methods of improving the efficiency of gene transfer for a wide range of applications. Specifically provided are methods of increasing expression of an exogenous gene in a cell by contacting the cell with a vector comprising the exogenous gene and contacting the cell with a proteasome inhibitor, a lysosomal protease inhibitor and/or a microtubule inhibitor. Also provided are methods of delivering an antigen delivery vector to a cell or a subject. Provided are antigen delivery systems and kits comprising an antigen delivery vector and a proteasome inhibitor, a lysosomal protease and/or a microtuhulc inhibitor. | 04-07-2011 |

20080305554 | Automated yield monitoring and control - A system is adapted to automatically maintain a desired yield level for a slurry flow. Measurements of the electrical conductivity of a slurry are taken and corrected for the effects of temperature and pressure. The corrected conductivity measurements are used to arrive at a value for system yield. The system automatically determines if the yield is too high or too low relative to a desired level, and controls the rate at which accelerator is added to the slurry in order to increase or decrease yield. | 12-11-2008 |

20140182605 | INTERMEDIATE WRAPPER AND METHOD OF MAKING - A tobacco product is formed by perforated cigar or shell, the shell comprising a sheet of material with an intermediate sheet, the sheet comprising tobacco leaves and/or homogenized tobacco paper. The cigar or shell is packaged for shipment to an end user or consumer. The cigar or shell remains in the rolled, shaped tube form inside the package. After the cigar or shell is removed from the package, a consumer can fill the cigar or shell with crushed tobacco leaves or other tobacco filler material of a favorite blend, thereby eliminating some steps in the making of a “roll-your-own” tobacco product. A liquid can be added to the cigar or shell to moisturize same. The liquid can include flavoring. | 07-03-2014 |
