Abstract: A multi-bay battery charger comprises a power supply (10), a flyback converter (30) including a transformer (40) defining a primary circuit (50) and a secondary circuit (60), a primary circuit controller (70) and a secondary circuit controller (80). The primary circuit (50) includes a primary control switch (51) having a closed state for electrically connecting the transformer (40) to the power supply (10). The primary circuit controller (70) applies a voltage pulse to the primary control switch (51) for selectively closing the primary control switch (51). The secondary circuit controller (80) applies a regulation voltage to the primary circuit controller (70) for modulating a duty cycle of the voltage pulses as a function of a sensed battery voltage relative to a maximum voltage threshold of a rechargeable battery (20) connected to the secondary circuit and of a sensed battery current relative to a maximum current threshold of the rechargeable battery (20).

Abstract: A fosfomycin plus tobramycin combination formulation for delivery by aerosolization is described. The concentrated fosfomycin tobramycin combination formulation containing an efficacious amount of fosfomycin plus tobramycin is able to inhibit susceptible bacteria.

Abstract: An exercise unit that is a bench-based, has an easily adjustable load exercise system using a resistance engine that can provide a constant load level through the entire range of motion to approximate the use of free-weights, is portable, and reconfigures easily to several different shapes for different exercises. The exercise unit is compact, has a minimal vertical height, and weighs much less than the maximum resistance load that it can create. The bench unit can be stood on its end for compact storage.

Abstract: A side skirt system for reducing drag on a trailer includes a side skirt wall configured to be coupled to one side of the trailer to extend below a side wall of the trailer along a length of the trailer. A mounting bracket assembly of the system is coupled to the side skirt wall and is configured to be coupled to a floor assembly of the trailer. The mounting bracket assembly is configured to tilt laterally outwardly and laterally inwardly with respect to a generally vertical axis parallel to the side wall of the trailer.

Abstract: A mutual prodrug of a corticosteroid and a substituted phenylphosphate (?-agonist derivative) for formulation for delivery by aerosolization to inhibit pulmonary inflammation and bronchoconstriction is described. The mutual prodrug is preferably formulated in a small volume solution (10-500 ?L) dissolved in a quarter normal saline having pH between 5.0 and 7.0 for the treatment of respiratory tract inflammation and bronchoconstriction by an aerosol having mass median average diameter predominantly between 1 to 5?, produced by nebulization or by dry powder inhaler.

Abstract: A unique structure for an indoor exercise bike that provides strength in its design, as well as the flexibility to create an aesthetically appealing frame structure. The monocoque frame design, including two symmetrical halves joined together, forms a very strong, light shell that can take on a variety of shapes and sizes. The seat structure, handlebar structure, drive train and support platforms are all able to be readily attached to the primary frame structure to provide an exercise bicycle that is sturdy, easy to manufacture, and light enough to easily move when necessary.

Abstract: A method of hydrolyzing peptide bonds in waste material from dissolved air flotation (DAF float) wastewater treatment systems is disclosed. The method according to the disclosure comprises controlling the pH of said DAF float; adding a lytic agent to said pH controlled DAF float; and incubating the lytic agent/DAF float mixture. The hydrolyzed peptide bonds allow for the cleaving of oil molecules from protein material thereby increasing oil extraction from wastewater streams.

Abstract: The invention provides improved methods and apparatus for control using field and control devices that provide a virtual machine environment and that communicate via an IP network. By way of non-limiting example, such field device can be an “intelligent” transmitter or actuator that includes a low power processor, along with a random access memory, a read-only memory, FlashRAM, and a sensor interface. The processor can execute a real-time operating system, as well as a Java virtual machine (JVM). Java byte code executes in the JVM to configure the field device to perform typical process control functions, e.g., for proportional integral derivative (PID) control and signal conditioning. Control networks can include a plurality of such field and control devices interconnected by an IP network, such as an Ethernet.
