Abstract: The subject invention pertains to the use of zinc, zinc ionophore, one or more vitamins, folate, selenium, garlic, and/or Echinacea as a treatment of viral infections, and the training needed for subjects to recognize such symptoms to be able to stop respiratory viral infections including colds flu and coronavirus, or to prevent respiratory virus infections, such as SARS-CoV-2 infections. The subject invention further pertains to pharmaceutical compositions, packaged dosage formulations, and kits for stopping respiratory virus infections, or for preventing respiratory virus infections in contact subjects that might have such infections.

Abstract: A method for the photocatalytically active coating of surfaces is presented and described, as well as an article (1) photocatalytically actively coated according to this method. The object of providing a method for the photocatalytically active coating of, in particular, metallic surfaces, whereby a permanently stable coating is produced without negatively affecting the photocatalytic activity of the layer, is achieved by a method, in which a substrate article is prepared which has a surface, a metallic adhesion-promoting layer is applied to the surface of the substrate article, a photocatalytically active layer consisting of one or more metal oxides is applied to the adhesion-promoting layer, wherein the metallic adhesion-promoting layer and the surface of the substrate article consist of a different material and the adhesion-promoting layer is selected such that it is not oxidized or reduced by the photocatalytically active layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cold gas spraying in which a spray powder containing photocatalytically active spray particles is accelerated by means of a carrier gas in a nozzle and forms a coating upon striking a substrate. According to the invention, the method is characterized in that at least one part of the photocatalytically active spray particles consists of nanocrystalline agglomerates having a porosity of 200 to 800 m2/g, the porosity being determined by means of a BHT measurement with nitrogen. Coatings produced with the method according to the invention and objects having such a coating are also claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods for cold spraying with a spraying unit, a particle supply, a gas supply, and at least one heating unit. The heating unit contains a graphite felt that can be heated with an electric heater current, through which a gas stream can flow, wherein the at least one heating unit is arranged separately and/or in a pressure tank through which the gas stream can flow.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing diamond or diamond-like carbon (DLC) by converting at least one other form of carbon such as graphite, amorphous carbon, fullerenes, glass carbon, graphene, carbon foam or a mixture of these forms. This method comprises an acceleration of particles and causing them to collide with a substrate. The particles and/or the substrate contain(s) or consist(s) of one other form of carbon. The conversion is induced by impact of the particles with the substrate, wherein cold gas spraying is used to advantage.
