Abstract: Various aspects of this disclosure relate to a composition, comprising a liquid phase that comprises a plurality of cations, an anion, a molecule, a base, and a solvent, wherein the plurality of cations, the anion, the molecule, and the base are solutes that are dissolved in the solvent; each cation of the plurality of cations is a metal cation or an ammonium cation; the molecule is a cannabinoid; the solvent is not water; the solvent has a solubility in water at 37 degrees Celsius of at least 25 grams per liter; each cation of the plurality of cations has a net charge of 1, 2, or 3; the anion has a net charge of ?1; the molecule lacks a net charge; the base has a net charge of ?1; the composition has a molar concentration for the anion, the molecule, the base, and each cation of the plurality of cations; the composition has an equivalent concentration for each cation of the plurality of cations, which is equal to the molar concentration of a cation multiplied by the net charge of the same cation; the composi

Abstract: A method and apparatus to provide phototherapy to companion animals. The apparatus includes at least one light source configured to flood illuminate inside a housing, a housing sized to surround at least one companion animal, and a control system to adjust the light flux and light duration of the at least one light source. The method includes providing said apparatus and flood illuminating at least one companion animal with a clinically significant light flux and light duration.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to provide phototherapy to domesticated animals. The apparatus includes at least one light source configured to flood illuminate a housing, a housing sized to at least partially surround at least one domesticated animal, and a control system to adjust the light flux and light duration of the at least one light source. The method includes providing said apparatus and flood illuminating at least one domesticated animal with a clinically significant light flux and light duration.

Abstract: A control frame for a boiler includes a control mounting surface and a control panel. The control frame can be formed from a single piece of sheet metal, such that the control mounting surface and the control panel form a single undivided unit. In addition, the control frame can structurally support a boiler enclosure. The control mounting surface can include mounting interfaces for a control device, an optional microcontroller and wiring terminal strips. The control panel can also include cutouts or mounting interfaces for instrumentation or other control devices. The control frame can further include a latch interface to hold a separate cover panel in place.

Abstract: A tribological debris analysis system alternately including a general purpose computer used in conjunction with an imaging device and an illumination delivery system, or a circuit board integrating an embedded processor with the imaging device used in conjunction with the illumination delivery system. The circuit board can be mounted on or coupled to an individual machine. The illumination delivery system includes a bypass conduit connected to the machine under evaluation, an optical flow cell, a pump for pumping a fluid through the optical flow cell connected to the bypass conduit, and a laser for illuminating the fluid flowing through the optical flow cell. The imaging device detects any debris in the fluid illuminated by the laser, and sends information representative of the debris to the general purpose computer or the embedded processor for analysis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of proteins or polypeptides using genetically manipulated plants or plant cells, as well as to the genetically manipulated plants and plant cells per se (including parts of the genetically manipulated plants), the heterologous protein material (e.g., a protein, polypeptide and the like) which is produced with the aid of these genetically manipulated plants or plant cells, and the recombinant polynucleotides (DNA or RNA) that are used for the genetic manipulation.

Abstract: Constructs and methods are provided for expressing peptides derived from eukaryotic organisms in plant plastids. Constructs have a promoter functional in a plant plastid, a DNA sequence encoding a peptide derived from an eukaryotic organism and a transcription termination region. Other elements include a selectable marker for selection of plant cells comprising a plastid expressing the marker and DNA regions of homology to the genome of the plastid and optionally a ribosome binding site joined to the promoter. By methods using such constructs high levels of eukaryotic peptides, such as mammalian proteins, are produced in a plant cell by growing plant cells under conditions whereby the DNA encoding sequences re expressed to produce eukaryotic peptide in said plastid.
