Abstract: Methods and systems for producing sulfuric acid and/or sulfur trioxide, which may include contacting a first stream that includes oxygen and a second stream that includes sulfur to produce a third stream that includes sulfur dioxide, and subjecting the third stream to an oxidation reaction to produce a fourth stream that includes sulfur trioxide. The contacting of the first and second streams may include contacting a molar amount of oxygen that exceeds a molar amount of sulfur.

Abstract: A method is provided to form a security barrier of an electronic device under protection. The method includes depositing a transformable dielectric material layer on the electronic device under protection, and converting a target portion of the transformable dielectric material layer into at least one electrical circuit structure having at least one measurable electrical characteristic. The method further includes depositing a thermal stabilizing material layer onto the transformable dielectric material layer.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for optimizing a process of manufacturing a product. In one aspect, the method comprises repeatedly performing the following: i) selecting a configuration of input settings for manufacturing a product, based on a causal model that measures causal relationships between input settings and a measure of a quality of the product; ii) determining the measure of the quality of the product manufactured using the configuration of input settings; and iii) adjusting, based on the measure of the quality of the product manufactured using the configuration of input settings, the causal model.

Abstract: Containers are provided and include a container body having an opening extending into a hollow interior, and a cap extending across the opening. The cap has an inlet port with an inlet valve configured to couple to a fluid source such that fluid can be delivered through the inlet valve to pressurized the hollow interior of the container body. The cap also has an outlet port with an outlet valve having a cracking pressure at which the outlet valve is configured to move from a closed configuration to an open configuration to dispense fluid from the hollow interior, and a closing pressure at which the outlet valve is configured to move from the open configuration to the closed configuration to prevent fluid from passing therethrough. The cracking pressure is greater than the closing pressure.

Abstract: The present inventive concept is related to antibodies, such as recombinant humanized and monoclonal antibodies, methods of making antibodies, and methods of using antibodies, such as antibodies directed toward and capable of specifically binding to and clearing amyloid-beta (A?) plaques in the brain that are suitable for use in the treatment of disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

Abstract: SP-C peptoid compounds, lung surfactant compositions and related surfactant replacement therapies. Such SP-C peptoids can mimic lung surfactant protein C, and can be used in conjunction with biomimetic SP-B compounds over a range of lung surfactant compositions.
