Abstract: The present invention describes methods for the detoxification of a mixture of nitrile compounds, or a mixture of nitrile and amide compounds by conversion of the nitrile compound(s) to the corresponding amide or acid compounds using a pure culture of an induced microorganism strain capable of converting a nitrile moiety to an amide or acid moiety. If an amide is formed or is present in the mixture, the amide can be further converted, using the present methods for detoxification, to the corresponding acid. The acid can then, if desired, be further degraded to CO2, H2O and biomass. The induced pure cultures are able to detoxify a mixture of nitriles or a mixture of nitrites and amides which are typically present, in high concentration(s), in nitrile production waste streams. The present invention further discloses methods for removing a nitrile compound from an amide preparation, such as an acetamide or acrylamide preparation containing an unwanted nitrile compound, using an induced pure culture of an induced microorganism strain capable of converting a nitrile moiety to an amide or acid moiety. The pure cultures are able to purify or reduce the toxicity of the amide preparation thus improving purity and amide product yield from the amide preparation. The present invention further discloses methods for the conversion of a mixture of amide compounds to the corresponding acid compounds using a pure culture of an induced microorganism strain capable of converting an amide moiety to an acid moiety. This invention also discloses kits, biofilters and methods for use of the kits and biofilters for detoxification containing the useful microorganism strains.

Abstract: A structured screen display process presents structured information that includes a plurality of elements on any width screen display so that the user is able to see as many of the elements as possible at once, and is able to see the complete text of any element as needed. The process dynamically adapts the display of structured infomation to the screen display width of the device. Further, in this dynamic adaption, the user sees at a glance as many as possible of the elements of the structure, and the user can see any of the elements at the user's discretion in a way which is compatible with using structured information such as a menu of choices. The structured information is presented on a screen display by displaying at least a portion of each element in a plurality of elements on the screen display where at least one of the elements has a width greater than a width of the screen display. The at least one element is scrolled horizontally while continuing to display the portion of each other element in the plurality of elements.
