Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for treating or preventing a disease, a disorder, or symptom associated with picornaviruses in a subject including a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, Formula II, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein X, Y, L, A, B, A1, A2, A3, R1, R2, R3, R4, R7, R8, R9, and R10 are as described herein.

Abstract: Systems (200) and methods for making different plastic products (202, 204) in a single melting process are provided. A method includes melting a plastic resin in a first extruder (104) to form a melt (106) and transferring at least a portion of the melt to a second extruder (114). Any portion of the melt (106) that is not transferred to the second extruder (114) is formed into a first plastic product (202). Additives (116) are blended with the melt in the second extruder to form a second melt (118), and a second plastic product (204) is formed from the second melt (118).

Abstract: Improved systems and processes for storing resins are disclosed herein. These systems and processes are especially useful for reducing the tendency of resins to sinter. In polymerization processes, the improvements disclosed herein can reduce the tendency of resins to sinter while also allowing downstream operations to continue.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an insect repelling device that may serve as an effective barrier against ticks. The insect repelling device may include a band of technical fabric, with the fabric being very stretchable. The insect repelling device may be worn around the ankles, wrist or head. The insect repelling device may be worn in pairs on each ankle and/or wrist. The insect repelling device may have an open, tubular design and be made of a high performance, nylon/ polyester fabric, allowing a user to easily insert the foot or hand and fit the device around the ankle or wrist area. Each insect repelling device may be pre-treated with an insecticide or insect repellant, such as Permethrin. In use, the insect repellant device may be effective at preventing biting insects, such as ticks, from crawling onto the user, for example from crawling up the legs of the user.

Abstract: A submersible pump for pumping radioactive liquids comprises a pump cartridge (2) which is removably mounted in a cavity (3) formed in the pump body (1). Seals (30a, 30b) are provided between the cartridge (2) and the cavity (3). The cartridge houses a pneumatically operated motor to drive an impeller which discharges liquid through an outlet duct (10). Compressed air required for driving the motor is supplied through an air inlet tube (12) and air exhausted from the motor is conveyed through an air outlet tube (14). Both the air inlet and the air outlet tubes extend through the interior of the outlet duct (10).
