Abstract: A fuel composition wherein the fuel composition comprises (a) a major amount of liquefied methane based gas in cryogenic state having a temperature in the range from ?182° C. to ?100° C. and, preferably, a pressure in the range of 1 bar to 15 bar, and (b) a minor amount of an 5 ignition improving additive, wherein the ignition improving additive has a melting point of less than ?105° C., a boiling point of less than 60° C. and an autoignition temperature of lower than 480° C. and wherein the ignition improving additive is selected from alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, ethers, alkynes, aldehydes, ketones, amides, nitroalkanes, nitrosoalkanes, nitrates, nitrites, cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes, dienes, peroxides, triatomic oxygen, trimethylamine, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A solar powered cell phone charging device has been disclosed that provides a cell phone case with integrated solar panels and a power connector coupled to the case for connecting to a cell phone charging port, allowing the user to charge a cell phone by using solar power. In an increasingly digital age, with further reliance on cell phones for almost every aspect of daily life, there exists a need to be able to portably charge a cell phone. Further, there exists a need to perform this charging through renewable energy sources, rather than non-renewable sources, due to the cost and deletion of non-renewable energy sources. Finally, there exists a need to be able to portably charge cell phones without being tethered to a wall or a portable battery pack, which must be independently charged through traditional non-renewable energy sources.

Abstract: This invention relates to a titanium dioxide catalyst particle, the catalyst particle comprising rutile nanorods having metal nanoparticles deposited at or near the free ends of the nanorods, which is suitable to catalyze reactions after exposure to temperatures above 550 deg C. The invention also provides for the use of a catalyst particle in catalyzing reactions and a method of catalyzing reactions, the catalyst particle being suitable to catalyze reactions after exposure to temperatures about 550 deg C.

Abstract: A method and system is provided to use the same design manipulation processes for both chip design and kerf design. Concurrent generation of kerf designs and chip designs provides a consistent, accurate, and repeatable process. Improved quality of wafer testing results because the data in the kerf matches data in the chip. The total cycle time for mask manufacturing is reduced because kerf build is accomplished prior to start of the mask manufacturing process. Also provided is the use of load balancing across multiple servers during kerf and chip design to optimize computing resources.

Abstract: A male incontinence device has one coupling part 200 attachable to a silicone pad 500 and a second coupling part 300 attached to a condom-like drainage member 400. A stretchable ring or wall 312 can be shifted ("snapped") by manual pressure between a locking position wherein the two coupling parts are locked together and an unlocking position wherein the two coupling parts can be separated to permit removal of the condom-like drainage member from the silicone pad.
