Abstract: A controlled environment chamber is provided. The controlled environment chamber includes a chamber housing and a window component that is secured to the chamber housing. The window component includes a window plate having a first surface that faces away from an interior of the controlled environment chamber and a second surface that faces toward the interior of the controlled environment chamber. The window plate comprises at least one signal manipulation element.

Abstract: A window component of a controlled environment chamber is provided. The window component includes a window plate; a first array of coupling elements disposed on a first surface of the window plate; a second array of coupling elements disposed on a second surface of the window plate; and a plurality of waveguides formed in a volume of the window plate between the first and second surfaces. A respective waveguide of the plurality of waveguides optically connects a respective first coupling element of the first array of coupling elements to a respective coupling element of the second array of coupling elements.

Abstract: Acyclic CB[n]-type compounds, methods of making such compounds, and uses of the compounds. For example, these compounds can be used as nanocontainers to solubilize pharmaceutical agents. Also provided are compositions and methods of using them for therapy or prophylaxis of a wide variety of conditions for which therapy or prophylaxis is desirable.

Abstract: An anti-car jacking/theft device for detecting an unauthorized person who is attempting to operate a vehicle and activating an alarm including a measurement mechanism adapted to be coupled to a driver's seat of a vehicle for transmitting an input weight signal indicating a person's weight; a key receiving mechanism adapted for receiving a user-supplied key and transmitting a reset signal when the key is activated, a set signal when the key is de-activated, and a key status ready signal having one mode indicating that the key receiving mechanism is active and another mode indicating that the key means is inactive; control circuitry for receiving the input weight signal from the measurement means and the reset signal, set signal, and key status ready signal from the key receiving means, comparing the input weight signal with a resident reference weight signal and a resident input threshold signal with the control circuitry having one mode for transmitting an alarm command signal indicating that an unauthorized
