I am generally good at finding papers via various techniques, but some have evaded my grasp. Try your luck at the documents listed below. I wrote some notes about my own unsuccessful attempts to find these documents. Apologies in advance for likely reducing you all's success rate!

FOUND: H. G. Haines. 2004. “A pilot study evaluating the bioavailability and absorption rates of two vitamin B12 preparations in normal human subjects”. Health Plus International, Inc. (study protocol # HPI-NF-B12-1).

J. Hovingh, “Stability of a flowing circular annular liquid curtain,” Lawrence Livermore Lab., Internal Memo SS&A-77-108, Aug. 8, 1977.

Б. Я. Кузнецов. “Аэродинамические исследования цилиндров”. Труды ЦАГИ, в. 98, 1931. (B. J. Kuznetsov. “Wind channel tests of cylinders”. CAHI/TsAGI report number 98, 1931.)

Here is the first one. The key was finding it cited in the company's patent, though the URL was wrong. But the archive has a search.

I am impressed; I had looked for the paper and failed to uncover the related patent. Could you share the exact string that you searched for (and the search engine you used) to discover the patent?

It's on the first page of results for the serial number (the patent does not mention the author's name). What I was looking for was not the actual study, but additional citations, on the hypothesis that the citation was incorrect. I didn't expect a patent to have a link, but to be more accurate than a alternative medicine website.

Thank you much. I had never seen the patent despite my searches. I'll be sure to check them in the future!
