Abstract: A shear web flange (36) for a shear web (32) of a wind turbine blade (18) is described. The flange (36) extends longitudinally and comprises a bonding surface (50) for bonding to an inner surface of a wind turbine blade (18). One or more protruding features (52a, 52b) protrude from the bonding surface (50). A method of making such a shear web flange (36) is also described as are a shear web (32) for a wind turbine blade (18), a wind turbine blade (18) and a method of making a wind turbine blade (18).

Abstract: A medication injection device (2) includes a housing (4) and a needled syringe (8) supported by the housing. The needle syringe has a plunger (10) and a volume containing medication. The medication injection device further includes an expelling mechanism (6) operably coupled to the plunger. Additionally, the device includes a thermal locking mechanism (20) operably coupled to the expelling mechanism, comprising a material which is solid when the device is refrigerated and transitions to a liquid or gel-like state at a phase-change temperature when the device is taken out of refrigeration and warms up together with the contained drug to a temperature which is suitable for performing an injection. In the solid state, the material keeps the expelling mechanism locked in a disabling condition inhibiting delivery of the medication and in its liquid state creates an enabling condition permitting delivery of the medication.

Abstract: 4-Amino-6-(heterocyclic)picolinic acids and their derivatives; 6-amino-2-(heterocyclic)pyrimidine-4-carboxylates and their derivatives; and methods of using the same as herbicides.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of chlorinating a carbohydrate or derivative thereof, for example, a sucrose-6-ester at the 4,1?, and 6? positions, with irreversible removal of HCl formed during the reaction to form the chlorinated carbohydrate or derivative thereof, for example, a 4,1?,6?-trichloro-4,1?,6?-trideoxy-6-O-ester of galactosucrose (TGS-6E). The irreversible removal of HCl can be carried out by an irreversible physical process and/or an irreversible chemical process. Sucralose, an artificial sweetener, can be prepared by deesterification of the TGS-6E. The chlorination reaction takes place at low temperatures and the desired chlorinated product is obtained in high yields and in high purities.

Abstract: A user device for professional workflow assistance provides decision support in the form of concise alerts in the form of immediate feedback (real-time or near real-time) analysis performed by a user device application based on locally stored rules. The decision support is rendered in a timely manner in a current session with the patient, client or customer to maintain a context of the information gathering and the concurrent consideration of the decision support provided. The decision maker need not retreat to an office or separate location for consideration and analysis of the decision support results, but instead immediately considers the application generated results on the rendering screen of the user device.

Abstract: A system and method for designating or tagging an electronic message, such as an email that includes feedback about an employee's performance. The tagged email can then be automatically embedded within, or otherwise associated with, a performance management document such as a performance review. An example method includes providing a user interface display screen, whereby a user may view contents of an electronic message; providing a first user option, in association with the user interface display screen, to selectively designate the electronic message for a predetermined purpose and providing a signal in response thereto; and associating the electronic message with a document in response to the signal in accordance with a designation of the electronic message. In a specific embodiment, the designation of the electronic message includes a feedback designation, such that the electronic message is designated as a feedback message. The feedback message represents unsolicited feedback.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for chlorinating a carbohydrate or a derivative thereof to produce a polychlorinated carbohydrate or a derivative thereof, such as sucralose, the method involves (i) reacting the carbohydrate or derivative thereof with a chlorinating agent to obtain a reaction mixture comprising said polychlorinated carbohydrate or derivative thereof and at least one under-chlorinated carbohydrate or derivative thereof, (ii) returning the at least one under-chlorinated carbohydrate or derivative thereof to a chlorinating step and further chlorinating the at least one under-chlorinated carbohydrate or derivative thereof to obtain the desired polychlorinated carbohydrate or derivative thereof; and (iii) optionally repeating steps (i) and (ii) “n” times where n?1. The polychlorinated carbohydrate or a derivative thereof is obtained in high yields.

Abstract: A high intensity LED based lighting array for use in an obstruction light with efficient uniform light output is disclosed. The high intensity LED based lighting array has a ring assembly having a plurality of reflectors and light emitting diodes. The ring assembly has a planar surface mounting each of the plurality of primary reflectors in perpendicular relation to a respective one of the plurality of light emitting diodes. A secondary diffuser is positioned on the ring to mix light from the light emitting diodes to create a uniform light emission in a range of azimuth angles.
