Abstract: Provided herein are phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) degraders, e.g., a compound of Formula (I) or (IA), and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Also provided herein are methods of their use for treating, preventing, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of a PDE4-mediated disease, disorder, or condition.

Abstract: The battery charge indicator provides a color-coded battery status indicator system adapted for attachment to or adjacent the battery compartment on a power tool body. The system includes a first member that is adapted for attachment to the surface of the power tool. The front face of the first member is provided with hook and loop fastener material thereon. A second member has a first face fabricated from green-colored hook and loop fastener material and an opposite, second face fabricated from red-colored hook or loop fastener material. Display of the red-colored face indicates that the battery needs recharging. Display of the green-colored face indicates that the battery is charged.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing profitability is provided disclosing an intelligent customer scoring system (iCSS) for receiving a telephone number and transaction request. When the iCSS receives an initial transaction request, it accesses local information related to the number to predict a real-time initial customer score, wherein the requested initial transaction is allowed in real-time based on a comparison of the initial customer score, an expected profitability of the transaction, and a predetermined threshold level. The iCSS accesses information related to the number and the profitability of the transactions to refine the customer score. When the iCSS receives a subsequent transaction request, it is allowed or denied by comparing the refined customer score and expected profitability with the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods which utilize information communication systems for transaction and information management. According to embodiments, an automated information management engine is provided enabling and facilitating the purchase of goods and services through various payment options resulting in increased profitability and visibility safely, securely and conveniently. Embodiments utilize a telephony system, and/or other information communication system, having access terminals disposed within a controlled environment facility for use by residents thereof to conduct transactions or other desirable exchanges of information, goods, services, etcetera. Embodiments provide integration across various aspects of transaction and information management, such as prepaid account management, collect calling services, and commissary services, to thereby facilitate seamless user interaction for account deposit, account status inquiry, commissary ordering, and collect calling.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method of offering a service to a user. The method comprises receiving a dialed number from a request to initiate a collect telephone call from an origination source; processing the dialed number to determine whether payment may be received for the collect telephone call, wherein the processing blocks the collect call and stores the dialed number when the processing determines that payment may not be received for the collect telephone call; and establishing a telephone connection with the dialed number to communicate an offer for the service to a user associated with the dialed number.

Abstract: A modular food preparation station for storing and cooking food stuffs such as pizza comprising a base including at least one temperature controlled compartment formed therein to maintain the food stuffs within a predetermined temperature range prior to perparation and an infrared continuous conveyor oven including a thermally insulated cooking chamber having an entrance opening to receive raw food stuffs therethrough and a discharge opening to discharge cooked food therefrom formed at opposite ends thereof, and a continuous conveyor operatively disposed within the thermally insulated cooking chamber to move the food stuffs through the thermally insulated cooking chamber, infrared emitters longitudinally disposed above and below the continuous conveyor and passive emitters formed on opposite sides of the thermally insulated cooking chamber to complement the energy from the infrared emitters to uniformly cook the foodstuffs as the food stuffs pass through the thermally insulated cooking chamber.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for recovering gallium from calcined clay leached with hydrochloric acid. The leach solution containing aluminum, ferric and gallium chlorides is treated by ion exchange to first remove aluminum ions, following which the solution containing ferric and gallium chlorides is treated to reduce the ferric ions to ferrous ions. The reduced solution is acidified with hydrochloric acid sufficiently to insure that the gallium is present in the form GaCl.sub.4 - ions, and is then again treated by ion exchange to separate the ferrous ions from the gallium for ultimate recovery of the latter.

Abstract: A pump control comprising a control circuit having a timer which periodically closes the control circuit and hence an energizing electric circuit to an electric motor driving the pump, for predetermined intervals of time, and a float assembly having a vertically movable float surrounded by a vertical guide and shield having openings adjacent its bottom. Inlet and outlet lines extend upwardly through its bottom and establish an upward liquid level in the float chamber and provide support. A reduced flow drain line at the bottom of the float chamber drains liquid to establish a lower liquid level.
