Abstract: Products, compositions, systems, and methods for treating a subject carrying a virus or bacterium. The methods may be performed in situ in a non-invasive manner by application of an initiation energy to the subject thus producing an effect on or change to a target structure of the subject directly or indirectly. The methods may further be performed by application of an initiation energy to a subject to activate within the subject a photoactivatable drug directly or indirectly, optionally in the presence of one or more plasmonics active agents, thus treating the virus or bacterium. Also provided are kits containing products or compositions formulated or configured and systems for use in practicing these methods.

Abstract: A method of and system for adhesive bonding. The method and system a) treat a surface of an element to be bonded to provide an adherent structure including one or more rubber compounds on the surface; b) place a polymerizable adhesive composition, including at least one photoinitiator and at least one energy converting material, in contact with the adherent structure and two or more components to be bonded to form an assembly, c) irradiated the assembly with radiation at a first wavelength, capable of conversion by the at least one energy converting material, to a second wavelength capable of activating the at least one photoinitiator to produce from the polymerizable adhesive composition a cured adhesive composition; and d) adhesively join the two or more components by way of the adherent structure and the cured adhesive composition.
