Abstract: The present invention includes compounds of formula (I) and methods for its preparation and treatment of disorders with activated peroxisome preoliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), particularly cancer.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to arranging a pickup between a driverless vehicle and a passenger. For instance, dispatch instructions dispatching the vehicle to a predetermined pickup area in order to pick up the passenger are received by the vehicle which begins maneuvering to the predetermined pickup area. While doing so, the vehicle receives from the passenger's client computing device the device's location. An indication that the passenger is interested in a fly-by pickup is identified. The fly-by pickup allows the passenger to safely enter the vehicle at a location outside of the predetermined pickup area and prior to the one or more processors have maneuvered the vehicle to the predetermined pickup area. The vehicle determines that the fly-by pickup is appropriate based on at least the location of the client computing device and the indication, and based on the determination, maneuvers itself in order to attempt the fly-by pickup.

Abstract: An adsorption apparatus and associated method for capturing an target gaseous adsorbate from an atmospheric air based gaseous feed stream.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and electronic system are provided in which payment information is exchanged between a buyer and a seller. A user interface is provided that facilitates seller selection of an identified payment data and amount for early payment. The system operates on the seller selections to identify invoices that may be discounted based on seller selections and offers the discount to the buyer.

Abstract: A composition for gas storage including a mixture of particles of amorphous macroporous organic polymer (MOP) and particles of a metallic organic framework (MOF).

Abstract: An apparatus for producing metal organic frameworks, comprising: a tubular flow reactor comprising a tubular body into which, in use, precursor compounds which form the metal organic framework are fed and flow, said tubular body including at least one annular loop.

Abstract: A method of separating a metal organic framework (MOF) from a solution and associated apparatus. The method comprises: providing a MOF containing solution; contacting the MOF containing solution with an acoustic reflector surface such that, any high frequency ultrasound applied within the MOF containing solution reflects off the acoustic reflector surface; and applying a high frequency ultrasound of at least 20 kHz to the MOF containing solution. The MOF material is substantially separated from solution as aggregated sediment that settles out of solution.

Abstract: A microporous polymeric composition including a matrix polymer having a fractional free volume of at least 0.1 and dispersed particles having a hypercrosslinked polymer.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing metal organic frameworks, comprising: a tubular flow reactor comprising a tubular body into which, in use, precursor compounds which form the metal organic framework are fed and flow, said tubular body including at least one annular loop.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and electronic system are provided in which payment information is exchanged between a buyer and a seller.

Abstract: An optical mount includes a support substrate defining an aperture configured to receive an optical element. A support assembly is positioned proximate a perimeter of the aperture. The support assembly includes a resilient member configured reflects in response to relative motion between the optical element and the support substrate. A support plate is positioned on the resilient member and is in contact with the optical element.
