Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the treatment, mitigation, and prevention of viral infections (e.g., coronavirus infections (e.g., severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), etc.), etc.) and diseases (e.g., Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)) associated therewith by the administration of cysteamine or derivatives thereof to a subject.

Abstract: A closure device which a consumer or bag manufacturer may affix to most any bag comprises an elongated first strip of flexible material and a thin bendable wire and second strip of material of substantially the same length as the first strip and longitudinally aligned with and affixed to the first strip. The first strip includes an opposite adhesive surface which is covered by a protective strip of release paper at the time of manufacture. A plurality of individual closure devices may be manufactured in sheet form with perforations extending between each adjacent closure device on the sheet. When needed, the consumer tears a closure device from the sheet. The consumer peels away the release paper revealing the adhesive surface and affixes the closure device to the outer surface of a bag. In one preferred method, the consumer affixes the closure device in a traversing manner with the closure device extending between the opposite closed and open ends of the bag.

Abstract: An LED excitation source and module useful for full plate imaging fluorescence instruments as well as methods for calibrating such instruments.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing error compensation by modifying encoder-type position feedback signals supplied to a machine tool controller is illustrated by four embodiments. The first embodiment inserts compensation pulses into position feedback signals by using OR gates, when both square waves of the feedback signals are logically low. The addition or subtraction of the compensation pulses is performed by inserting the compensation pulses at a particular phase relative to each other. The second embodiment is capable of inserting correction pulses when the square waves are in any logical state. The third embodiment is capable of correcting the error completely controlling the feedback signals and not using OR gates to insert correction pulses, but requires a faster microcomputer. The fourth embodiment uses inverters incorporated sequentially, instead of OR gates, to invert the square wave signals before they are supplied to the machine tool controller.
