Abstract: This disclosure describes detergent-free and low-ash lubricating composition achieving piston cleanliness with one or more succinimide dispersants, one or more ashless antiwear additives, and one or more antioxidants when selected ratios of sulfur, phosphorus, and nitrogen are maintained.

Abstract: A filtration cassette including a multilaminate array of sheets including filter sheets alternating with permeate sheet members and retentate sheet members, and a cross-flow filter device comprising a multiplicity of stacked filtration cassettes of such type. The improvements associated with the filtration cassettes described herein include, but are not limited to, at least one of: reinforced inlet(s) providing for longevity and improved cleanability of the cassettes; spacer permeate screens to limit throughput restriction; stainless steel or otherwise stiffened permeate sheets to prevent movement and increase flux; and stainless steel permeate sheets that can be used with ultrasonic transmission to minimize fouling of the filter sheets and extend cleaning cycles. Advantageously, the filtration cassettes are more resistant to higher temperatures than the filtration cassettes of the prior art.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compositions, and systems for processing nucleic acids from individual cells or cell populations. Cells are co-partitioned and processed, allowing for analysis of a variety of types of RNA from cells while minimizing ribosomal RNA species. The present invention enables high-throughput measurement of full length RNA from single cells with a streamlined workflow.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compositions, and systems for transposon loading. Transposons are loaded with nucleic acid molecules, allowing for transposition reactions of cellular nucleic acids. The present invention may improve transposon loading, yield of productive fragments, while minimizing potential nucleic acid fragment loss or cross-contamination.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a sulfurized alkyl phenate product to achieve a high sulfurization ratio of sulfurized alkyl phenate to unsulfurized alkyl phenate/phenol in the context of a neutralized and optionally overbased additive.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of improving the storage stability of a lubricating composition including overbased magnesium sulfonate detergents by post-treating the detergents with select hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid or anhydride compounds.

Abstract: This invention relates to copolymers which consist essentially of [-ether-phenyl-ether-phenyl-carbonyl-phenyl-]and [ether-phenyl-phenyl-ether-phenyl-carbonyl-phenyl-] repeat units, as well as end units, which have reduced melting temperature (Tm) compared to prior art copolymers including such repeat units. The copolymers of the invention exhibit crystallinity and have similar glass transition temperatures to the prior art polymers.

Abstract: Methods and compositions to minimize barcode exchange during the preparation of barcoded next-generation sequencing libraries prepared from a single cell. The methods utilize oligonucleotides containing a 3?-terminated blocking group or sequences that prevent amplification or extension.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a sulfurized alkyl phenate product to achieve a high sulfurization ratio of sulfurized alkyl phenate to unsulfurized alkyl phenate/phenol in the context of a neutralized and optionally overbased additive. The sulfurized alkyl phenate product is obtained by sulfurizing an alkyl phenol with a sulfur chloride blend that includes about 40 to about 75 weight percent of sulfur dichloride.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a detergent additives and methods for preparing a sulfurized alkyl phenate product from polyalphaolefins.

Abstract: A system for processing fermented beverages to produce alcohol-reduced or alcohol-free fermented beverages or concentrates, and a method of using same, wherein the alcohol-reduced or alcohol-free fermented beverages have the desirable characteristics of the non-processed fermented beverage including, but not limited to, the flavor, the mouthfeel, and aroma, and wherein the alcohol-reduced or alcohol-free fermented concentrates can be reconstituted for consumption elsewhere.

Abstract: Dietary supplements are described comprising a delayed release HPMC capsule containing, in combination, uncoated cayenne pepper fruit powder, enteric-coated capsaicinoids, peppermint leaf powder, and menthol. The dietary supplements provide desired effects of one or more of increasing metabolic rate and 24-hr REE (Resting Energy Expenditure), elevating Fatty Acid Release via lipolysis, promoting fat breakdown, TRPV1 Receptor activation, and increasing Heat Endogenous Production when ingested by a subject, while additionally improving tolerance by reducing potential discomfort upon ingestion.
