Abstract: The present disclosure relates methods for treating skin disorders caused by an immune deficiency with topical formulations comprising ethyl (R)-4-((1-(2-cyanoacetyl)piperidin-3-yl)amino)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate (Compound I) or pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof. In particular, the topical formulations described herein may be used to treat atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, or vitiligo.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a software defined radio for a mobile network system including a plurality of satellite transponders, each satellite transponder operating using single channel per carrier (SCPC) transmission to allocate an entire bandwidth of a given frequency channel of a plurality of channels to the network management system, at least one ground station in communication with the plurality of satellite transponders, the at least one ground station communicating on at least one of the plurality of channels, using the plurality of satellite transponders, to a remote host, and a management server, that sets a bandwidth available for a particular channel of the plurality of channels at a predetermined maximum and dynamically adjusts the bandwidth allocated to a particular channel of the plurality of channels based upon a present determination of a utilization of the particular channel of the plurality of channels.

Abstract: Methods separates a gas comprising providing a first electrode in ion-conducting contact with an electrolyte, providing a second electrode in ion-conducting contact with the electrolyte, wherein the second electrode comprises a liquid metal, providing a displacing material comprising a first surface in contact with the second electrode and a second surface exposed to an environment outside the second electrode, wherein said material permits flow of gas and impedes flow of liquid metal, and establishing a potential between the first and second electrodes, whereby gas flows toward the liquid metal. Other aspects include methods and apparatuses comprising electrodes, electrolytes and displacing materials.

Abstract: In some aspects, the invention relates to apparatuses and methods for connecting a liquid first metal cathode to a current source of an electrolytic cell comprising a conduit having a first and second end, liquid first metal disposed at the first end of the conduit, a solid first metal disposed at the second end of the conduit, and a solid conductor portion in electrical contact with the solid first metal.

Abstract: The present invention is an educational system which adapts at least portions of educational content to a learning style of a student, provides substantially immediate and effective feedback of student performance to parents, and incentivises each participant in the students' education to use the system. For example, the educational system presents interactive educational lessons and exercises to a student to determine the student's learning style or modality. Thereafter, the educational system adapts the presentation to the modality. In addition, the education system provides homework curriculum and educational content based on, for example, the student current educational needs or scholastic exercises. Moreover, the educational system provides rewards to teachers, students, and parents for using the system. For example, the education system enables parents to accumulate a fund for college education.
