Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of formula (I): and related aspects.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure leverage near field communication (NFC) technology to provide dynamic and interactive monitoring of an environment. NFC devices may be used to check items in and out of a storage facility, obtain readings from instruments or other machinery present in the environment (e.g., to perform tests on the items, etc.), track movement of users and items within the environment, and to prompt users with information about the environment, such as information about the instruments or machinery currency being used to perform operations with respect to one or more items checked out to the user. Additionally, the NFC device may be used to configure the instruments with appropriate settings for the particular item(s) for which the instrument is currently being used or for other purposes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of recovering non-hydrophilic components from algae-containing water. The process includes providing algae-containing water and a non-polar solvent. The algae-containing water and the non-polar solvent are mixed in a high shear environment under conditions effective to lyse the algae and cause non-hydrophilic components within the algae to be solubilized within the non-polar solvent. The water and the non-polar solvent containing non-hydrophilic components are separated from residual algal biomass. The non-polar solvent containing non-hydrophilic components is recovered. Also disclosed are a system for recovering oil from algae-containing water and a ship including the system of the present invention.

Abstract: A method of making morphine-6-glucuronide comprising the selective enzymatic cleavage of the 3-glucuronide moiety in morphine-3, 6-glucuronide or substituted morphine-6-glucuronide using at least one .beta.-glucuronide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a detector for a blade tracking system. The detector comprises a lens for focusing in a plane a bundle of radiation passing therethrough. Two or more radiation sensors are disposed within the plane, in such an arrangement that an object passing through the radiation bundle is sensed sequentially by the sensors.

Abstract: A method for producing a spun-like yarn simulating a staple yarn is described wherein continuous filament yarn is produced which has characteristics similar to a staple spun yarn. The unusual continuous filament yarn produced is made by a texturing process which involves the crimping of a continuous synthetic yarn followed by overfeeding to an air bulking means and thence to heat setting means. The preferred method utilizes false twist texturing of synthetic filaments such as polyester, nylon, cellulose acetate or cellulose triacetate and mixtures thereof with an air bulking jet interposed to act on the false twist textured yarn while it has a high residual torque and subsequently decaying said torque.
