Abstract: This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in a defiber process stream by using two or more mechanical devices to separate the solids from the liquids based on density differences. The process produces animal feed products having a protein content ranging from approximately 45% to approximately 64%.

Abstract: A multi-functional well completion apparatus and method of operation thereof that offers the ability, in a single trip and with limited running tool manipulation, to perform downhole completion operations, such as gravel pack operations or sand control frac or other fluid stimulation operations is described. The well completion tool has multiple functions or operational positions by using a self-closing time delay valve without the need of service tools, thereby saving rig time, reducing operating costs and operational risks associated with tripping service tools into and out of a wellbore.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of and a system for securely establishing control of a resource in a distributed ledger is disclosed. The distributed ledger comprises a first shard instantiated on one or more first processor(s) of a first system. The first shard is configured to respond to an instruction originating from a first party. The distributed ledger further comprises a second shard instantiated on one or more second processor(s) and configured to respond to an instruction originating from a second party. The method comprises creating, by means of the publishing of a record by the first system, the resource, wherein the publishing of the record occurs in response to an instruction originating from the first party, wherein the publishing of the record is to the first shard of the ledger, and wherein the publishing of the record establishes that control of the resource resides with the second party.

Abstract: A method for analyzing existing digital files to recognize sensitive data in the textual content. The method includes extracting features describing the environmental context in which a file was created and the file content itself and modeling and analyzing pairwise relations between text that exist within a given file; the text itself; and characteristics that exist about the text in relation to the entire file. The method takes the extracted features, including the data itself and its context, and analyzes this data with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms such as decision trees and neural networks to predict whether a document includes sensitive data. Leveraging AI algorithms rather than discrete algorithms carries with it the advantage of being able to handle massive volumes of data, as well as the ever increasing varieties of data.
