Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for introducing a compressor bypass flow that is returned from location that is downstream of a pressure source of an internal combustion engine to an air filter housing that is located upstream of the pressure source.

Abstract: An evacuation system may comprise a packboard, an evacuation slide configured to deploy from the packboard, and a lane divider attached to the evacuation slide, wherein a first end and a second end of the lane divider are detachably coupled to a center tube of the evacuation slide, wherein a connecting member is coupled to the center tube between the first end and the second end of the lane divider. The lane divider may be in fluid communication with the center tube. A detachable restraint may be disposed between first end and the center tube, the detachable restraint comprising a first portion coupled to the center tube and a second portion coupled to first end, wherein the first portion of the detachable restraint detachably couples to the second portion of the detachable restraint.

Abstract: A spark plug is disclosed that includes at least one bore extending through a shell of the spark plug in order to form a passageway between an annular volume around the spark plug insulator nose and a pre-chamber volume of a pre-chamber device, thus directing a purge of exhaust gases trapped in the annular volume to a space formed by the exterior of the spark plug body and the interior of the pre-chamber device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing data movement in a computer system. The systems and methods use information or knowledge about the structure of an algorithm, operations to be executed at a receiving processing unit, variables or subsets or groups of variables in a distributed algorithm, or other forms of contextual information, for reducing the number of bits transmitted from at least one transmitting processing unit to at least one receiving processing unit or storage device.

Abstract: Data employed in computations amongst multiple processors in a computing system is processed so that less bits than a full representation of the data needs to be communicated yet all of the relevant information is communicated. More specifically, a sensitivity value is determined for various items of the data which reflect the number of bits in the data items that are not garbage bits, and only information in the data items that are indicated by the sensitivity value to not be garbage bits are necessarily effectively retained. At least the information that is not garbage bits and the corresponding associated sensitivity are packed together. The results of computations that are performed using the data items as at least one of the operands for the computation are associated with a sensitivity that is derived from the individual sensitivities of the operands used in the computation.

Abstract: Data employed in computations is processed so that during computations more of the data can be fit into or maintained in a smaller but higher speed memory than an original source of the data. More specifically, a sensitivity value is determined for various items of the data which reflect the number of bits in the data items that are not garbage bits, and only information in the data items that are indicated by the sensitivity value to not be garbage bits are necessarily effectively retained. At least the information that is not garbage bits and the corresponding associated sensitivity are packed together. The results of computations that are performed using the data items as at least one of the operands for the computation are associated with a sensitivity that is derived from the individual sensitivities of the operands used in the computation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storing large data sets, such as genetic sequence information. Within a “targeted subset” of positions with information, the system stores, both variant states and missing states at each position. Reference states are not stored, but are inferred within the targeted subset when neither a variant nor a missing state is stored at a given position. The absence of a variant state at a given position is assumed to be a reference state. The criteria for missing data are defined in pre-processing and are customizable based on the use case. For example, each data point may represent the genetic information of a sample at a position in the genome. The targeted subset may represent those positions that were included in a sequencing test.

Abstract: A method and system for distributing digital media by creating and presenting optical machine-readable data representation (OMDR) objects. Artists input digital media and associated data into an internet-based computer application storing data on a media system server. Once OMDR objects are created and displayed, users may acquire digital media via the optical recognition functions of a mobile computer application installed on a mobile device. Once the OMDR object is scanned, the mobile application communicates with a media system server configured to store, organize, validate and distribute digital media and associated data. This method allows artists, content-owners and their agents to distribute content digitally via OMDR objects instead of utility-focused distribution methods such as CDs, DVDs, books, online download or streaming subscription vendors.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an antibody composition including antibodies conjugated to nanoparticles. The antibody composition may be used in methods to treat drug use, drug addiction, and effects of drug use.

Abstract: A method of operating a video system to distribute video streams includes receiving at least one video stream at a primary video management system, receiving the video stream at a primary media gateway, receiving a request for access to the video stream from a secondary video management system, and transmitting the video stream for delivery from the primary media gateway to the secondary video management system.

Abstract: The Present invention provides a system and method for fast computing the Cholesky factorization of a positive definite matrix. In order to reduce the computation time of matrix factorizations, the present invention uses three atomic components, namely MA atoms, M atoms, and an S atom. The three kinds of components are arranged in a configuration that returns the Cholesky factorization of the input matrix.
