Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for brokering the purchase and/or sale of mixed-color glass and/or cullet, optionally over a computer network. In one embodiment, the broker facilitates the purchase and/or sale of three color mixed cullet between beneficiators, MRFs and/or glass plants, in order to supply, for example, glass plants with and/or allow glass plants to purchase desired quantity and/or quality (e.g., cleanliness) of cullet.

Abstract: A pet blanket providing anti-flea properties is disclosed. The blanket is formed of an upper, permeable layer and a lower, impermeable layer, which together form a closeable pocket for receiving an insert that is impregnated with one or more anti-flea agents. As a pet reclines on the upper, permeable layer, the anti-flea agent(s) diffuse from the insert, through the permeable layer and onto the supine animal.

Abstract: An injectable aqueous composition for veterinary use containing a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compound in an amount of from about 0.25 to 30% (w/v) together with a physiologically acceptable oxygenated polymeric surfactant in an amount of from about 0.5 to 20% (w/v).

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a quantity of cullet having at least two colors of glass from an input stream of recyclable material and non-recyclable material. In an embodiment, the system includes a sortation station, a screening apparatus, an air classifier, and a crushing apparatus to provide as output substantially pure cullet having at least two colors.

Abstract: The invention concerns an aqueous silicone emulsion for the preparation of anti-adherent coating on fibrous or non fibrous supports for example paper. Said emulsion-comprises polyorganosiloxanes (POS) with Si-vinyl units and POS with SiH units, cross-linkable by polyaddition in the presence of a platinum catalyst. Known emulsions of this type are not stable and tend to be cross-linked prematurely and to produce a chemical foam. Said undesirable phenomena constitute a great nuisance for industrial machines used for anti-adherent paper coating.

Abstract: A composition prepared for treating animals suffering from parasites which parasites are known to be susceptible to at least one of the avermectins, milbemycins or salicylanilides, comprises for example ivermectin in an amount of from 0.1 to 10%(w/v), a solvent selected from the group consisting of glycerol formal, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and combinations thereof, and a salicylanilide such as closantel in a required dosage amount for the animal to be treated, typically about 2.5 mg/kg live weight of the animal to be treated, a polymeric species selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene block copolymers, the said polymeric species improving the bioavailability of closantel to the extend that blood plasma levels of the said compound greater than about 20 ppm over period of treatment are achievable.

Abstract: A variable pulse width optical pulse generation system includes a first and a second optical interferometric modulator. A first drive signal applied to the first modulator modulates an input optical signal, so as to provide a first modulated optical signal. A second drive signal applied to the second modulator modulates the first modulated optical signal, producing output optical pulses. One or both of the drive signals may be formed by superposing a plurality of waveforms having different frequencies, for example a base frequency and its odd harmonics. By adjusting the relative amplitudes of the drive signals, or the relative amplitudes of the component waveforms forming the drive signals, the pulse width and the extinction ratio of the output pulses can be varied so as to achieve an optimal value.
