Abstract: An anti-theft device for protecting a portable electronic device from theft or unauthorized removal in a retail environment is provided. The anti-theft device includes a shroud configured to at least partially receive and engage a portable electronic device. The anti-theft device also includes a dock configured to releasably engage the shroud. The dock is configured to engage the shroud in a locked configuration so as to prevent removal of the shroud and the portable electronic device from the dock and to disengage the shroud in an unlocked configuration so as to allow the shroud and the portable electronic device to be removed from the dock.

Abstract: Agriculturally active materials, such as pesticides, herbicides and the like and a process for microencapsulating said materials. The present invention includes trifluralin having a polymorphic form characterized by a yellow color and a melting point of approximately 41.degree.-43.degree. C. The present invention also includes a method of using the yellow polymorphic form of trifluralin as a herbicide. In addition, the present invention includes a method of microencapsulating low-melting agriculturally active materials, such as trifluralin. The microencapsulation process comprises the steps of heating a low-melting, water-immiscible, agriculturally active material to a molten state. The molten active material is then combined with an aqueous solution of a water-soluble, film-forming polymer at a temperature sufficient to maintain the active material in its molten state.
