Abstract: An application launching user interface that includes a plurality of application icons for launching corresponding applications is displayed. A first touch input is detected on a first application icon of the plurality of application icons. The first application icon is for launching a first application that is associated with one or more corresponding quick actions. If the first touch input meets one or more application-launch criteria which require that the first touch input has ended without having met a first input threshold, the first application is launched in response to the first touch input. If the first touch input meets one or more quick-action-display criteria which require that the first touch input meets the first input threshold, one or more quick action objects associated with the first application are concurrently displayed along with the first application icon without launching the first application, in response to the first touch input.

Abstract: Aspects of the current subject matter are directed to a sensor assembly of an analyte monitoring device including one or more microneedle arrays. Aspects are directed to components and architecture of a sensor assembly to implement power and processing aspects of a microneedle array-based continuous analyte monitoring device for the detection and measuring of an analyte. A source of a power-on event is determined, and the analyte monitoring device is transitioned to a mode that corresponds to the determined source. When a power-on event is determined to be a valid power-on event, the analyte monitoring device is transition to a mode that corresponds to a type of the valid power-on event.

Abstract: The electronic device comprises a housing assembly extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising a first housing part and a second housing part configured to be joined to each other through an overlap welding, and an electronics carrier received within an inner space of the housing assembly defined when the first and second housing parts are joined to each other,

Abstract: The invention relates to a stoichiometric salt of a tetracarboxylic acid and a diamine of the following general formula (I), wherein R1 is selected from tetravalent residues of butane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, tetrahydrofurane and benzophenone and R2 is selected from divalent residues of unbranched, branched or cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbons with 3 to 15 carbon atoms, with the proviso that the salt of the formula (I) is water-soluble and is selected from compounds (1) to (28); and to the polyimides prepared from these salts by polycondensation.

Abstract: The process for classifying anesthetic depth includes: collecting of biological signals, conditioning of said signals, monitoring of activity of the central and autonomic systems, measurement of indexes and classification of patterns in anesthetic depth. The activity includes: i) Awake: Vigil—Ak. and recovery of verbal response—Rc. ii) Light Anesthesia: Light induction anesthesia—Li. Light recovery—Lr, Light dose, increase in drugs or patient movement (La), iii) General anesthesia: General anesthesia—Ga, one minute after the start of the surgery, and iv) Deep anesthesia: identification of the EEG burst-suppression pattern (BSP) associated with deep anesthesia.

Abstract: The motor vehicle camera housing assembly comprises first and second housing parts that define an inner space and joining means for joining housing parts together including a sheet material wound more than one turn around the housing assembly. The sheet material has a support layer and at least one adhesive layer adhered to respective outer surfaces of the housing parts at least partially filling a gap formed in an overlapping portion defined by two edges of the sheet material when wound on the housing parts such that they are sealingly joined together.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a cementitious composite, comprising: 1) a first step of conditioning silica nanoparticles, in which the nanoparticles are heated to a temperature between 85-235° C. for a sufficiently long time interval so as to obtain a maximum humidity content of 0.3% relative to the total weight of the material resulting from the first step; 2) a dry dispersion step, in which the conditioned nanoparticles in step 1) are dispersed over cement and in which inert grinding balls are used; 3) a step of conditioning the cementitious composite obtained in step 2), in which the grinding balls are separated from the cementitious composite produced. The invention also relates to the resulting composite, to cement derivatives comprising said composite, preferably mortars and concrete, to the production method thereof and to the use of these materials in industry.

Analogs of 1-desamino-8-D-arginyl vasopressin, as claim 1, with the following general formula: wherein, X is an amino acid of the group consisting of alanine, asparagine, glutamine, isoleucine, leucine and valine; and is an amino acid of the group consisting of asparagine, glutamine, isoleucine, leucine and valine.

Abstract: A process for the production of cladribine, 2-chloro-2′-deoxyadenosine, is provided which involves the direct glycosylation of 2-chloro-6-aminopurine with 1-chloro-2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-&agr;-D-erythropentofuranose. The process is carried out by first forming the sodium salt of 2-chloro-6-aminopurine and allowing the sodium salt to react with 1-chloro-2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-&agr;-D-erythropentofuranose in the presence of a moderately polar solvent such as acetone. The final product, cladribine, is produced by removal of the p-toluoyl groups by the action of methanolic ammonia or methanolic sodium methoxide.
