Abstract: A first embodiment of a composition for treating vitiligo includes Cassia tora powder, Saussurea lappa root powder, Punica granatum L. (pomegranate) peels powder, and Psoralea corylifolia black seed powder. A second embodiment of a composition for treating vitiligo can include Cassia tora powder, Saussurea lappa root powder, Punica granatum L. (pomegranate) peels powder, Berberries (or Berberis) vulgaris root powder, red clay (with trace copper), and Ptychotis verticillata root powder. Topical administration of the first composition followed by UV radiation exposure can facilitate inducing melanogenesis as well as generating ROS. Topical administration of the second composition following the UV radiation exposure can scavenge the ROS generated by the first composition.

Abstract: Data is stored in a multi-level MRAM (MLC MRAM) cell in a manner that reduces transition states that require high energy. A new data block is received, and the new data block is divided into one or more sub-groups of bits, with each sub-group comprising at least two bits. Each sub-group is assigned data bit locations in a memory store. The received bits are compared with sub-groups present at the data bit locations to determine subgroups of hot bits. For each subgroup of hot bits, an encoding flag value is determined by XORing their most significant bits. The most significant bits of each subgroup of hot bits are complemented and the encoding flag is SET. A data block is generated to establish a data group for each subgroup of hot bits including the subgroup of hot bits and the encoding flag for that subgroup.

Abstract: The method of recycling brine from a multi-stage flash desalination plant recycles the high-salinity, high-temperature brine output from a multi-stage flash desalination plant to produce diluted brine suitable for reinjection back into the multi-stage flash desalination plant as a makeup stream. The high-salinity, high-temperature brine output from the multi-stage flash desalination plant is diluted with water extracted from treated wastewater effluent output from a wastewater treatment plant, thus providing further recycling of the treated wastewater effluent. Following osmotic transfer of the diluting water from the treated wastewater effluent to produce the diluted brine, the remaining concentrated treated wastewater effluent passes through a secondary filtration system to yield a solid product and a volume of permeate water. The volume of permeate water may be further mixed with the diluted brine.

Abstract: The method of treating delayed healing of a wound associated with diabetes includes administering to the wound a composition comprising an anti-senescence compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The anti-senescence compound may be 18α-Glycyrrhetinic acid, a Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) inhibitory compound, or a Polymerase I Transcript Release Factor (PTRF-1) inhibitory compound. The anti-senescence compound may be effective in preventing and/or reversing premature cellular senescence. The anti-senescence compound may be effective in promoting healing of a wound, e.g., delayed or incompletely healed wound. The anti-senescence compound may be effective in promoting healing of a delayed healing wound or chronic wound of a diabetic patient, such as a diabetic ulcer or venous ulcer.

Abstract: The heuristic fuzzy controller for gantry cranes provides for controlling the position of the cart of a gantry crane while suppressing the swing angle of the payload. The rules of the controller are obtained taking into account the knowledge of an experienced crane operator. The controller uses only one fuzzy system to achieve the two control objectives.

Abstract: The odd/even invert coding for phase change memory with thermal crosstalk devises a cost model that captures Phase Change Memory (PCM) SET/RESET write asymmetries, as well as write disturbs caused by thermal crosstalk. The cost is computed by counting the different types of transitions between the old and the new data to be written to PCM. An Odd/Even Invert data encoding/decoding algorithm makes intelligent decisions based on a cost model by taking into account the number of bit flips, write asymmetry, as well as write disturbs. The data encoding algorithm recodes the data on the fly based on selective inverting (even, odd, or full invert) to search for a minimum cost solution with aim at reducing write activities and extending the PCM lifetime. A hardware architecture for the present encoding/decoding algorithm is presented that requires only two bits storage overhead for coding, regardless of the width of data.

Abstract: The drive system for wind turbine with contra-rotating generator includes various embodiments of belt drive pulley systems for a direct drive contra-rotating wind generator. The generator has a magnetic rotor and an armature mounted on a shaft configured to rotate in the opposite direction from the magnetic rotor. In some embodiments, a belt extends across two pairs of coaxially mounted idler pulleys between a pulley on the magnetic rotor shaft and a pulley on the armature shaft. In other embodiments, the pulleys on the magnetic rotor and armature shafts are double sheave pulleys, and a first belt extends across one or two coaxial pair(s) of idler pulleys between an inner and outer sheave, and a second belt extends across one or two coaxial pair(s) of idler pulleys between an inner and outer sheave. Either the magnetic rotor or the armature shaft or both are coupled to a wind turbine rotor.

Abstract: The combined pump and energy recovery turbine includes at least one fluid flow pressurizing a sliding vane pump and a sliding vane energy recovery turbine that recovers energy from a second fluid flow, such as the brine discharge from an RO seawater desalination system. A cylindrical rotor has two sliding vanes in respective slots, the rotor being concentrically disposed within an oval-shaped enclosure defining two mirror image crescent-shaped chambers, each chamber having inlet and outlet passageways. The first chamber pressurizes the first fluid flow, and the second chamber functions as a second outflow-driven energy recovery turbine, thus enabling the single rotor device to operate as a pressurizing pump on the first fluid flow, and second outflow-driven energy recovery turbine recovering energy from the pressure drop in the second fluid flow.
