Abstract: A method of reducing viability of a microbe is provided. An illustrative method comprises contacting a microbe with an antimicrobial surface comprising a copper-alloy steel comprising an iron matrix and copper nanoprecipitates distributed throughout the iron matrix, wherein the copper-alloy steel comprises: Cu in a range from 0.5 weight % to 5.0 weight %; C in a range from 0.03 weight % to 0.10 weight %; Mn in a range from 0.20 weight % to 5.0 weight %; Ni in a range from 0.0 weight % to 6.0 weight %; Al in a range from 0.0 weight % to 4.0 weight %; Nb in a range from 0.0 weight % to 0.10 weight %; Si in a range from 0.0 weight % to 2.0 weight %; Mo in a range from 0.0 weight % to 2.0 weight %; Ti in a range from 0.0 weight % to 2.0 weight %; V in a range from 0.0 weight % to 2.0 weight %; Cr in a range from 0.0 weight % to 8.0 weight %; and a balance of Fe. The antimicrobial surfaces are also provided.

Abstract: An electronic periodical advertisement including a number of time dependent offers is generated, e.g., using a computing device. The offers are organized into a number of modules. A default set of the modules is presented to a user. The default set of modules is edited to generate a user-defined set of modules. A user-defined electronic periodical advertisement including the user-defined set of modules is presented to the user.

Abstract: The network is divided into cells each corresponding to the coverage area of a base station adapted to exchange data with the mobile terminal by radio. The position of the mobile terminal is defined continuously when it is in operation by location data that is a function of at least one base station. The method is of the type in which at least two separate geographical areas and at least one operating feature of the mobile terminal specific to each area are defined. Each area is defined by location data that is a function of a set of base stations including at least one of the base stations contained in the area. The location data of the areas and the operating features specific to those areas are stored in a memory of the mobile terminal. The location data of the mobile terminal is compared to the location data of the areas to deduce in which area the mobile terminal is located. The operating feature specific to an area is applied as soon as the mobile terminal is located in that area.
