Abstract: A media propelling system comprises a motor for rotating a wheel assembly that is configured to propel the media and a valve assembly configured to control flow rate of the media to the wheel assembly. The valve assembly includes a media valve configured to selectively open and close to control the flow rate of the media to the wheel assembly, an actuator that actuates the media valve to open or close the media valve and thereby change the flow rate of the media, and a control valve configured to receive pressurized material and dispense the pressurized material to the actuator to thereby control operation of the actuator. A control system is in communication with the motor and the control valve and is configured to control the control valve based on a comparison of a sensed or actual amperage of the motor and a target amperage of the motor.

Abstract: Compositions, such as consumer products and/or fragrance/flavoring compositions, that include a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy)salicylaldehyde, such as ortho-ethylvanillin. Processes of making and using such compositions.

Abstract: A dosimetry system for monitoring radiation exposure for a device under inspection comprises a support structure, a plurality of detectors, a signal processing unit, and a computing device. The support structure includes an upper surface on which the device under inspection is positioned. The detectors are positioned in proximity to the device under inspection. Each detector is configured to detect radiation and generate a radiation electronic signal whose level varies according to an amount of radiation to which the detector is exposed. The signal processing unit is configured to receive the radiation electronic signal from each detector and output data derived from the radiation electronic signals. The computing device is configured to receive the data from the signal processing unit and determine an accumulated radiation level for each detector.

The present invention also provides methods of treating a disease, disorder, or condition such as those disclosed herein, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a disclosed lipid prodrug or a pharmaceutical composition thereof.

Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for slicing an item such as a bagel. One slicer has an upper assembly, which has an upper interior portion, and a blade; and a lower assembly, separable from the upper assembly, has a holding plate to support the item when placed within the lower assembly, and movable centering plates to secure the item in a position that lies substantially in the center of the lower assembly to facilitate a substantially even bisection of the item when the upper assembly engages with the lower assembly. Another slicer has an upper assembly with interior vertical rails, and a blade affixed to the upper assembly within the rails; and a lower assembly similar to the first slicer with interior vertical rails containing a vertical slot down the center for receiving a knife for slicing items. The device cuts the item within about +/?one-sixteenth of an inch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds and their uses, in particular, compounds in the form of prodrugs that promote transport of a pharmaceutical agent to the lymphatic system and subsequently enhance release of the parent drug.

Abstract: An embodiment provides a device for cleaning a sleeve of an ultraviolet light source, including: the ultraviolet light source for the disinfection of a fluid, wherein the sleeve surrounds the ultraviolet light source; a cleaning composition encapsulated in a polymer material to form a compound; a canister around and in contact with the sleeve and encapsulating the compound against the sleeve thereby placing the compound in a location adjacent to the sleeve, wherein the polymer material dissolves at a pH above a target value above the polymer material dissolution point releases the cleaning composition. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: An embodiment provides a method for cleaning a surface, including: encapsulating a cleaning composition in a polymer material to form a compound, wherein the polymer material surrounds the cleaning composition; placing the compound in a location adjacent to the surface, wherein the location adjacent to the surface is a volume separated from an outer volume; dissolving the polymer material at a pH above a target value above the polymer material pH dissolution point, wherein the dissolving releases the cleaning composition; and cleaning the surface using the released cleaning composition. Other aspects are described and claimed.
