Abstract: Tools and techniques for unified formats for resources and repositories for managing localization are described herein. The unified resource repositories may include representations of any number of resources, the resources representing textual information that is displayable in user interface presented by software applications. The representations of the resources may include respective data tags that are associated with name attributes identifying the resources, value tags providing values of the resources. Meta tags provide recursive nesting mechanisms for associating the name attribute and the value tag with additional instances of name attributes and value tags.

Abstract: A method for separating a sample using high pressure flash chromatography is provided. The method comprises the steps of: i) providing a pressurized vessel containing an adsorption material; ii) pressurizing a compressible fluid, optionally containing a cosolvent, to create a mobile phase; iii) premixing the sample with the mobile phase or optionally placing the sample in the pressurized vessel; iv) eluting the mobile phase through the pressurized vessel, to obtain a separated sample; v) heating the mobile phase containing the separated sample after the mobile phase exits the pressurized vessel to remove the compressible fluid; and iv) collecting the separated sample. The pressurized vessel contains an adsorption material having a particle size of 10-100 microns, and the pressure of the adsorption vessel is held at 50-350 bar during elution.

Abstract: A system and a method display real estate properties for sale, real estate properties wanted and/or areas in which properties are for sale and/or desired. The system and the method are used without defining whether the user is a buyer and/or a seller. Parameters selected by the user are compared with properties for sale and properties wanted stored in a database to generate a list of properties for sale and properties wanted that match the parameters. The parameters selected by the user may have a user-defined geographical location that may be established by the user choosing points of longitude and latitude. The system and method may indicate a real-time supply and/or demand of specific property types. The system and method may be global in scope and may function in any currency.
