Abstract: A method of mercury-free photochemical micro-/nano-encapsulation of an active material is a process for obtaining micro-/nano-capsules by means of curing by UV LED radiation at ambient or even cold temperatures. A stirrer photo-reactor made from glass or transparent plastics can be used but mixed flow reactor could be also employed. Appropriate mixing is sufficient to expose all droplets, which contain an active material surrounded by curable-shell materials in the emulsion to the LED radiation. Using the optimum light intensities and reactions' times is critical for encapsulating the active material with a high efficiency and producing a high quality micro-/nano-capsules, Solar monochromator device can also be used as long as it generate the same radiation with a narrow/single wavelengths as the LED device. Light emitted diode (LED) is a mercury-free UV radiation source with a long operating life time and an instant ON-Off.

Abstract: A single pill distributing cap has a movable part and a fixed part The fixed part is releasably attached onto a bottle and the movable part is rotationally attached to the fixed pan. The fixed part consists in a pill sorting chamber, and an exit chamber. The pill sorting chamber allows only one pill at a time to egress from the pill sorting chamber by way of a pill sorting chamber hole. Once a pill is out of the pill sorting chamber, upon continued rotation of the movable part, it aligns itself with the exit chamber. Once thus aligned, the pill drops into the exit chamber.

Abstract: The method for low temperature microencapsulation of phase change materials or other components includes the following steps: (a) preparing a phase change emulsion including droplets of at least one active phase-change material in water with a surfactant; (b) adding a monomer of at least one encapsulating agent; (c) introducing the phase change emulsion into a UV reactor while stirring the emulsion; and (d) initiating the photo polymerization of monomers using at least one UV lamp inside the UV reactor for photo polymerization until the phase change material is encapsulated within a polymeric shell to form microcapsules. The microcapsules obtained by this process may have a diameter between about 0.5 to about 2 ?m. Other sizes can also be obtained by changing stirring speed of the emulsion.

Abstract: A heat exchanger 10 includes a conduit 12 for conveying cooling fluid relative to a body to be cooled. A heat transfer arrangement 62 is arranged in communication with an interior of the conduit 12, the heat transfer arrangement 62 and the conduit 12 together defining an assembly that is mountable adjacent the body to be cooled, convective heat exchange occurring, in use, due to movement of the cooling fluid relative to the body and to the heat transfer arrangement 62 of the assembly and radiant heat exchange occurring between the body and at least part of the heat transfer arrangement 62 of the assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for allowing a user to select, from a plurality of TTY-modes, one TTY-mode to associate with one phone number. The associated TTY-mode will be used for either incoming or outgoing calls using that phone number. Further disclosed are a plurality of TTY-modes to associate with individual phone numbers, and, a selectable set of default TTY-modes to use if no TTY-mode is associated with a particular phone number. Selectable audio modes, associable with phone numbers or with TTY-modes, is also discussed.

Abstract: A method and system are provided that examine incoming and outgoing TTY transmissions to determine an identifier for distinguishing between correspondents in a TTY call. The system may utilize contact information associated with an incoming or outgoing call to provide visual distinctions, and/or flow control, to the text from each party as it is displayed on a TTY device.

Abstract: A method and system are provided that examine incoming and outgoing TTY transmissions to determine an identifier for distinguishing between correspondents in a TTY call. The system may utilize existing contact information associated with an incoming call to provide context to a user for accepting incoming calls and during conversations and may apply various display settings. For TTY users, the additional context simplifies the ability to conduct critical reasoning, especially those with cognitive impairments. In particular, a picture from the user's address book is provided to assist in identifying the caller. The other display settings may include modified font styles, colors, multi-line display etc. to differentiate between incoming and outgoing messages.
