The present invention relates to cosmetic formulations comprising hyaluronic acids, xylitol, birch leaf extract and/or birch bark extract, and optional ingredients commonly used in cosmetic formulations. The invention also relates to non-therapeutic, cosmetic use of said formulations for increasing skin hydration and/or skin barrier function. Further, the invention relates to a non-therapeutic, cosmetic use of said formulations for upregulating skin hydration markers selected from loricrin, trichohyalin, repetin, comeodesmosin and filaggrin, preferably loricrin and trichohyalin.

The present invention relates to the method of machine milking to use sterile, pure nitrogen gas (N<2>) as the continuous gas flow into the top part of the teat cup liner (gas flow pressure about 120 to 140 kPa compared to atmospheric air pressure of about 100 kPa) in order to produce a constant sterile N<2> gas blanket and by that way to prevent the environmental air with its contaminating microbes to access the interior of the teat cup liner and further the milk collection tube, and accordingly to reduce the level of microbes present in raw milk after machine milking. At the same time, oxygen (O<2>) in air is prevented to get dissolved in raw milk before, during and after machine milking, too, and consequently the dissolved O<2> content in raw milk after the milking phase is kept as low as originally found in milk inside the cistern of the udder. With this method, the raw milk obtained is both ultra-clean and ultra-fresh compared to the raw milk obtained by conventional machine milking.

A method for printing, comprising printing an object using a nozzle (10) to deliver a printing material (13) via a tip (22) of the nozzle; after the object has been printed, providing an amount of the printing material to the tip of the nozzle; and at least partially curing the amount of the printing material at the tip of the nozzle to seal (14) the nozzle.

A wearable apparatus is provided comprising a wearable IMU configured to measure a user, a mounting component, a controller comprising a processing core, at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to: receive data from the wearable IMU, the data comprising movement information related to a user movement, the user movement comprising a relative motion between the user's thumb and a finger of the user, wherein during at least part of the movement the surface of the thumb contacts the surface of the finger, classify, using a gesture classifier and based at least in part on the movement information, the movement as a candidate gesture, wherein the candidate gesture is at least one of: a left directional movement, a right directional movement, a up directional movement, or a down directional movement, and output the classified candidate gesture.

The present application applies to the field of blockchain technology and provides a method and a device for data migration of a blockchain . The method includes: generating a state tree based on state data of accounts in the blockchain, in which the state tree is a B+ tree based on a copy-on-write technology, and each leaf node of the state tree is configured to store the state data; determining a target state tree to be migrated from the generated state tree when data migration is triggered; sending state data of the target state tree to an extended node of a master node; if migration completion information is received from the extended node, updating a data mapping table stored in the master node, in which the data mapping table is configured to represent a mapping relationship between state data stored in the extended node and the extended node; and deleting the target state tree in the master node. Through this method, state data migration can be achieved, thereby reducing the storage pressure on the master node device of the blockchain, while maintaining high data consistency during the data migration process.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a box for disposable pipette tips, comprising: a base portion forming a container to receive the pipette tips therein; a cover portion movable to a closed configuration where the cover portion closes the base portion into a closed container; and a flexible hinge joining the base portion and the cover portion to each other.

There is provided a method for retrieving data from and/or uploading data to a digital library, wherein the digital library comprises storage including information. The method comprises receiving (701) a request including data, comparing (702) the received data with information comprised in or accessible to the storage in order to identify one or more matches, in case one or more match is found, identifying territory (703) for the matched data, and forming a territory map, setting indicators (704) to the territory map, wherein the indicators relate to information associated to the matched data and the identified territory, combining (705) the territory map with a geographical map, and forming (706) an interactive map including the geographical map, the territory map and the indicators.
