Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to electrical overstress protection devices, and more particularly to electrical overstress monitoring devices for detecting electrical overstress events in semiconductor devices. In one aspect, an electrical overstress monitor and/or protection device includes a two different conductive structures configured to electrically are in response to an EOS event and a sensing circuit configured to detect a change in a physical property of the two conductive structures caused by the EOS event.

Abstract: Provided herein is A compound of Formula I: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the various substituents are described herein.

Abstract: A backing strip for a windscreen wiper blade assembly, and a clip for securing the backing strip to the assembly are disclosed. The backing strip and clip may be used in a wiper refill replacing existing windscreen wiper blades or may be provided as original equipment. The backing strip comprises rails (20) and (22) which can be engaged with claws (12) of the wiper assembly. The backing strip has two channels (34) and (36) for receiving a wiper element (40) and either rails (20) or (22) can be engaged with the claws depending on the size of the claws. The wiper element (40) is arranged in an appropriate one of the channels (34, 36) depending on which of the rails (20, 22) are engaged with the claws. The backing strip may include a third pair of rails (102) for enabling the backing strip to be used with claws of three different sizes.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for softening and purifying molasses or syrup to obtain a clarified syrup that can then easily be handled by conventional ion-exclusion or other techniques for recovery of sugar. The process comprises steps that can be performed at ambient temperature. The molasses or syrup is carbonated at high pH, followed by adding organic solvent(s) such as ethanol. The sludge and liquid phases are separated. The solvent is then recovered, leaving a liquid phase comprising a soft and very clear sugar-containing liquid. The liquid phase may then be used in known systems for sugar recovery such as ion-exclusion chromatographic systems. Organic acids such as aconitic acid may be recovered from the sludge residue.

Abstract: A non-toxic composition, and method, for the clarification of raw sugar-containing juices, especially sugar cane juice, and related products, for analysis. A composition constituted of A) aluminum chloride hydroxide, B) lime and C) activated bentonite, bentonite containing calcium aluminum silicate, and preferably also a polymeric flocculating agent, has been found highly effective as a reagent for the clarification of sugar-containing juices, notably sugar cane juice, and related products.
