Abstract: The present invention concerns the field of safe disposal or recycling of devices which include flat panel displays (FPDs) such as televisions, public information screens and signs, advertising panels, computer monitors and lap-tops, tablets and computers with integrated flat panel displays.

Abstract: A method for producing an ionized water product for coffee comprises the steps of introducing source water to an ionization system, passing the source water through one or more reaction vessels, wherein one or more ionic species are introduced into the source water, and combining products of one or more reaction vessels to produce the ionized water product having between about 10 ppm to about 40 ppm magnesium ions, about 10 ppm to about 40 ppm calcium ions, and about 40 ppm to about 90 ppm total of bicarbonate and carbonate ions.

Abstract: This invention relates to a belt drive system for a tool driving shaft of an indexing tool turret assembly. A plurality of toolholders are radially supported on a top plate assembly, which is rotatably supported on a hub connected to a turret housing. A housing is provided that supports a driven pulley connected to the tool driving shaft. A spindle motor connected to the turret housing is coupled to the live toolholder via a belt drive. The housing advantageously includes at least one removal portion that provides access to and replacement of the belt drive. Further, the tool driving shaft is supported on opposite sides of the driven pulley.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions for the treatment of conditions associated with abnormal activity or secretion of the hormone gastrin. In particular the invention relates to the treatment of conditions associated with non-amidated gastrin. In one aspect there is provided a method of treatment or prophylaxis of a condition associated with elevated levels of non-amidated gastrin, comprising the step of administering to a mammal in need of such treatment an effective amount of a compound which has the ability to inhibit the binding of ferric ions to any one or more of glycine-extended gastrin17 or progastrin or progastrin-derived peptides, but which does not inhibit the activity of amidated gastrin, thereby to inhibit the activity of non-amidated gastrins.

Abstract: A team sport entertainment simulation game-play innovation that enables the user to optionally choose the offensive or defensive player to control prior to the start of the play regardless of ball possession and to control that player until the play terminates, or for a portion of the play until the user cancels the player specific mode. The user is expected to perform the characteristic behavior of the controlled player's position (e.g. quarterback, running back, wide receiver, defensive back, etc. in the example of the team sport of football). Missions, which describe the characteristic behavior of the position, provide goals and incentives to play the position properly or in another manner. Upon completion of the tasks outlined in the missions the user is rewarded with player attribute upgrades that increase the player's odds of winning the game.

Abstract: An attenuated Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae bacterium has a mutation in a gene required for bacterial virulence. Vaccines based upon the bacterium are provided, as are isolated virulence genes and polypeptides and uses thereof.
