Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a storage abstraction layer that is a concatenation of a plurality of storage devices that is accessible by a computing device. The plurality of storage devices includes at least one attached storage of the computing device, at least one cloud storage, or a combination thereof. The storage abstraction layer is presented as an application programming interface (API) to applications running on the computing device to allow each application to store and retrieve data as if it was using a single storage, regardless of where each of the plurality of storage devices is located and the type of each of the plurality of storage devices. Access to individual objects or files on this layer is done transparently such that underlying implementation details are hidden from the calling application.

Abstract: A Mobile Content Transfer (MCT) system requires no special equipment or a physical connection to any hardware. The MCT system has no hardware limitation with regard to the number of simultaneous transfers. The MCT system can be used to transfer data from anywhere at any time by anyone without the need to go into a retail location. The MCT system can transfer and store all or some data classes to increase adoption and usage of the MNO Cloud. The MCT system eliminates the need for dedicated personnel allowing more personnel to attend to new sales revenue opportunities. The MCT system eliminates the need to wait for a single machine or individual and empowers the end-user to perform the transfer of their data whenever and wherever they choose. The MCT system provides the option to safely and securely store data in the cloud that can be restored to another device.

Abstract: A herbicidal composition is provided comprising an aqueous solution of N-phosphonomethylglycine, predominantly in the form of the potassium salt thereof, at a concentration of at least 300 g a.e./l of the composition; and a surfactant component in solution or stable suspension, emulsion, or dispersion in the water, comprising one or more surfactants in a total amount of about 20 to about 300 g/l of the composition, wherein the composition has a viscosity of less than about 250 centipoise at 0° C. or a Gardner color value less than 10.

Abstract: The present invention relates to substituted pyrazolyl derivatives, compositions comprising such, intermediates, methods of making substituted pyrazolyl derivatives, and methods for treating cancer, inflammation, and inflammation-associated disorders, such as arthritis.

Abstract: Compounds of Formula I: wherein X1, X2, L1, A, R, L2, R1, R12, R12a, R13, R14 and R14a are as defined herein, are disclosed.

Abstract: The compound 2-[(1R)-3-(diisopropylamino)-1-phenylpropyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenol may be used to prepare the compound (3R)-3-[2-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-N,N-diisopropyl-N-methyl-3-phenylpropan-1-aminium bromide by reaction with methyl bromide.

Abstract: A method of making a combined frozen confection, equipment for forming same. The equipment especially comprises a filling nozzle. The invention is particularly directed to combined frozen confections formed in pop ups or the like. The combined frozen confection is especially a pop up having a shape extruded down the center, preferably an intricate shape such as a star or a pineapple, which remains recognizable over the length of the pop up cylinder. A second confection, preferably one having a different color or other appearance, flows into the pop-up cylinder around the periphery of the centrally extruded frozen confection to form a frozen confection combining the extruded frozen confection design and the peripheral frozen confection identifiable by consumers as different.

Abstract: N-phosphonomethylamines are produced by reaction of an amine substrate with a halomethylphosphonic acid or salt thereof, a hydroxymethylphosphonic acid or salt thereof, or a dehydrated self-ester dimer, trimer or oligomer of hydroxymethylphosphonic acid. Among the products that may be prepared according to the process are N-phosphonomethylaminocarboxylic acids such as (e.g.) glyphosate, N-phosphonomethylaminoalkanols such as (e.g.) hydroxyethlaminomethylphosphonic acid, and N-acylaminomethylphosphonic acids such as (e.g.) N-carbamylaminomethylphosphonic acid. Certain reactions are conducted with a substantial excess of amine reactant in order to drive the conversion while avoiding excessive formation of bis(N-phosphonomethyl)amine by-products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds which are effective as catalysts for dismutating superoxide and, more particularly, the manganese or iron complexes of substituted, unsaturated heterocyclic pentaazacyclopentadecane ligands which catalytically dismutate superoxide.
