Abstract: An aircraft engine incudes: a catalyst, e.g. platinum, applied to turbine blades (580c, 590c) and/or to a catalytic grid downstream of the engine's combustion chamber. An exhaust fluid additive injection system is incorporated upstream of the catalyst via a line 560, in a stator blade within the engine. The catalyst is used to reduce NOx emissions from the engine by a Selective Catalytic Reduction reaction.

In accordance with some embodiments, a file format is assigned to a source electronic data files by a data importation system. The data importation system may further identify a file type identifier associated with the source electronic data file and map the source electronic data file to a transformation template. The data importation system may further store the file format, file type identifier, and an indication of the transformation template as a file type profile associated with the source electronic data file in a database.

Abstract: A computing device is configured to allocate memory for exclusive use of an execution entity from both a shared memory area and a private memory area of the device. Specifically, the shared memory area is configured with a united memory pool (UMP) component. The UMP component is configured to provide portions of huge page-based memory to execution entities for exclusive use of the execution entities. Memory granules that are allocated to the UMP component are divided into smaller memory chunks (which are smaller than a huge page), each of which can be allocated for exclusive use of an execution entity. These memory chunks are mapped to virtual address spaces of the assigned execution entities. Because memory granules can be allocated to, and deallocated from, the UMP component at run-time, the amount of memory that is available for private data generated by execution entities is able to be dynamically adjusted.

Abstract: Systems and methods for computer-aided real estate appraisal using homeowner-directed videography via a personal computer device. The methods include an app on the homeowner device that provides directed videographic-based appraisal through the home. Captured video is then sent to a server for post-processing and analysis, followed by a professional appraisal and issuance of an appraisal report. Various features may modify the videographic data to remove irrelevant data that could bias the appraisal (such as personal information about the seller) and identify data relevant to the appraisal that might otherwise be overlooked. Machine learning models may be used to assess and determine the current state of the property based on the videographic data.

Abstract: High-yield synthesis of higher germanes and higher silanes includes the hydrolysis of a germanium- or silicon-containing alloy with chemical formula AxByGe(Si), wherein A=Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and rare earth metals; B=Al, Si, Sn, Ga, Zn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag; x=0-10, y=0-10. The hydrolysis reaction is promoted by an acidic substance such as boron oxide (B2O3), citric acid, hydrochloric acid (HCl), or sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The present invention provides an efficient method of drying higher germanes and higher silanes to prevent their further hydrolysis. Another synthetic process involves the reaction of germanium oxide, borohydride and boron oxide with water. Still another process comprises hydrolyzing the Si1-xGex alloy with a very dilute base solution.
