Abstract: Transport of a vaporizable liquid containing at least one solute through a material containing nanochannels is performed by contacting material with at least one vaporizable liquid component and inducing liquid transport along nanochannel interior wall surfaces, wherein the material contains nanochannels having an average diameter up to about 300 nm, preferably up to about 100 nm, and liquid transport is induced by partial liquid vaporization. A film of solid material is deposited onto an interior nanochannel wall surface by removing the transport liquid.

Abstract: The disclosure provide compounds of Formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The variables, R1, R2, R3, X1, X2, and Z are defined herein. Certain compounds of Formula I act as selective mitochondrial protonophore uncouplers that do not affect the plasma membrane potential. Compounds and salts of Formula I are useful for treating or decreasing the risk of conditions responsive to mitochondrial uncoupling, such as cancer, obesity, type II diabetes, fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, Parkinson's disease, ischemia reperfusion injury, heart failure, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD), and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Because mitochondrial uncouplers decrease the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are known to contribute to age-related cell damage, compounds of Formula I are useful for increasing lifespan. Compounds and salts of Formula I are also useful for regulating glucose homeostasis or insulin action in a patient.

Abstract: A system is provided which operates to compare three-dimensional models of inspection gages constructed from computer aided design (CAD) data for a manufactured part and standard geometric dimension and tolerance call-outs to three-dimensional models constructed from inspection data obtained from the manufactured part. The comparison is made both graphically, to assist an operator, and mathematically to determine part condition. Parts are found to be either in tolerance or out of tolerance. If out of tolerance they are found to be either reworkable or scrap. Additionally, the system is capable of determining syntax correctness for tolerance standards, defining the sequence of steps for a specific job prior to job execution, performing individual part tolerance conformance analyses and statistical part tolerance analyses for a population of parts, tolerance analyses for mating parts, and generation of tolerance call-outs for fixed and floating fastener features on parts.
