Various embodiments include visible and blue light for disinfecting surfaces of a mobile device and the case.

Abstract: For qualitative and quantitative production of biogas, nanoparticles and use of macroalgae when added to AD feedstock at proper concentration, temperature and time of digestion can bring a revolution to meet the future needs of energy. The process of biofuel production can be altered by using various nanomaterials in various ways, such as by improving the stability of cellulose enzymes, enhancing the catalytic production of biohydrogen, and improving biological and chemical digestion. This influence of nanoparticles on the process is determined by their distinct catalytic activity based on structure, shape and size which is complementary to the relevant process. The addition of seaweed in the AD feedstock improves biogas output and digestate quality thus enhancing the economic viability with the simultaneous positive impact of reducing global warming.

Abstract: This invention provides processes for preparation of 3-alkyl indoles of Formula 1: wherein A1, A2 and A3 are independently selected from the group consisting of: H, X, OR1, CN, CONR22 and C02R3; R1 is C1-C6 alkyl; R2 is H or C1-C6 alkyl; R3 is C1-C6 alkyl; LG is a leaving group; X is a halogen; and n is 1, 2 or 3.

Abstract: Provided for in the instant application are two additional forms of rifaximin, namely rifaximin polymorphic forms APO-III and APO-IV. Also provided are allegedly novel processes for preparing the previously disclosed rifaximin polymorphic forms APO-I and APO-II. Rifaximin is a non-aminoglycoside antibiotic that has previously been found to be useful for the treatment of traveller's diarrhea caused by Escherichia coli bacteria, as well as in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular disease, hepatic encephalopathy, pyogenic skin infections and as an antibacterial prophylactic prior to colon surgery.

Abstract: Provided are a cocrystal of Adefovir dipivoxil and nicotinamide as well as a cocrystal of Adefovir dipivoxil and salicylamide cocrystal and processes for the preparation thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel crystalline forms of adefovir dipivoxil and salts thereof.

Abstract: Certain ?-amino acids that bind to the alpha-2-delta (?2?) subunit of a calcium channel are disclosed. These compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful in the treatment of a variety of psychiatric, pain and other disorders. Also disclosed are methods of making the ?-amino acids.

Abstract: A method of financial planning in which a financial model is created from data relating to a subject's income, expenses, assets and liabilities. A planning rules database is created from data relating to a preferred financial strategy. First, an unplanned future financial situation of the subject is projected by applying predicted circumstances to the data of the financial model. Then, planning rules selected from the database are applied to the unplanned future financial situation to calculate a planned future financial situation, and the resulting data is displayed for comparison. An allocation and funding routine applies to the selected planning rules automatically, but the method also permits iterative alteration of the planned future financial situation, to permit the subject to see the effect of particular events on the situation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a generally flat bed warmer which is formed from a flexible, non-porous material. The bed warmer is inserted beneath or between the sheets of a bed for heating up the same. An inlet is defined in the flexible, impervious envelope so that the envelope can be coupled to and inflated by a source of hot air. The heat from the hot air in the bed warmer is transferred to the bed linens through the wall of the envelope. Furthermore, a plurality of apertures are defined through at least one wall of the bed warmer so as to allow controlled leakage of hot air from the bed warmer.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic machine for the reversal processing of lithographic printing plates which are required to be exposed overall after heating. The method and apparatus of the invention provide that the exposure be effected while the plates are being conveyed through water in a shallow bath.
