Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition is provided that comprises an effective amount of dillapiole or a derivative thereof, and a pharmaceutically-acceptable vehicle, carrier, or excipient. Methods of treating a bacterial infection are also described and include administering an effective amount of dillapiole or a derivative thereof to a subject in need of such treatment. Methods of reducing bacterial virulence are further described and include contacting a bacterium, such as a F. tularensis or A. baumannii bacterium, with an effective amount of dillapiole or a derivative thereof.

Abstract: Transmission and reception of communications via high frequency antenna systems employing cooled pure copper or high-temperature superconductor filters and/or amplifiers are presented. A comb linear amplifier combiner and comb limiter combiner may be modified with, for example, cryogenically cooled pure copper and/or high-temperature superconductor components, such as matching units of bandpass filters. A computer control unit may be coupled to the transmission circuit and reception circuit to control operation of one or more filters, and/or amplifiers.

Abstract: An electronic jamming circuit and method used to place a protective area around a person or vehicle so that an explosive device cannot be triggered are described. A wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) device in proximity to an explosive device is prevented from being triggered by a WCDMA communication by disruption of the ability of the WCDMA device to synchronize with, and thus cannot decipher, the communication. The jammer device may operate by forcing timing circuits in the WCDMA device to lock onto a jamming signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed relating to transmission of communications via high frequency antenna systems employing high-temperature superconductor filters and/or amplifiers. In certain embodiments, a comb linear amplifier combiner may be modified with, for example, cryogenically cooled and/or high-temperature superconductor components, such as matching units of bandpass filters. A computer control unit may be coupled to the transmission circuit to control operation of one or more of the low-power transmitters, filters, and/or amplifiers.

Abstract: A mirror image package is disclosed along with several embodiments for using such package in connection with a normal package. Embodiments include side-by-side and top-over-bottom mounting arrangements. Embodiments also include color or graphic coding so that normal and mirror image chips may be easily distinguished.
