Abstract: In some implementations, a device may store a set of data in a first database associated with a fixed storage duration and a storage parameter that restricts access associated with adding or modifying information stored in the first database. The device may process a subset of data from the set of data, wherein processing the subset of data includes performing one or more data processing operations performed via data processing operation documentation that defines the one or more data processing operations. The device may store the data processing operation documentation in a second database associated with a variable storage duration for data stored in the second database. The device may provide the first database and the second database as data sources for a data searching application to enable the first database and the second database to be searchable via a dashboard associated with the data searching application.

Abstract: A compact and unobtrusive rotor control mechanism is presented that provides collective and cyclic pitch change to both rotors of a coaxial rotor system as well as a differential collective pitch change to one or both rotors simultaneously.

Abstract: Water-based compositions that are resistant to dirt pickup, efflorescence, tannin bleed-through and surfactant leaching are described. The water-based composition includes a latex or water-dispersible polymer and a non-VOC UV-VIS (preferably, ultraviolet) absorber as a dirt pickup resistance additive. Methods of making water-based compositions including a non-VOC UV-VIS absorber as an additive are also described.

Abstract: An improved biasing spring mechanism for the valve poppet of the self-sealing valve disposed in the bag fitment of a beverage dispensing collapsible bag. A singular integrally formed spring mechanism and valve poppet replaces the two-piece embodiment previously employed for the self-sealing valve. A u-shaped channel on the poppet receives the valve seat in the coupling to seal off the flow of liquid when the poppet is pushed into the closed position. A plurality of petaloid segments connect the poppet to a circumferential ring surrounding the petaloid segments and provide a spring force to the poppet to move the poppet between the open and closed positions.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for terminating an end of flexible pipe body are disclosed, the apparatus comprising an elongate end fitting body, associated with a central longitudinal axis, comprising a connector flange region securable in a back-to-back relationship to a further end fitting body and disposed at a first end of the elongate end fitting body, an open mouth at a remaining end of the end fitting body, a central flange region disposed between the first end and the remaining end and a neck region between the central flange and the connector flange, wherein the neck region comprises a radially inner end fitting neck region portion and a radially outer end fitting neck region portion that is spaced apart from and is radially outside the radially inner end fitting neck region portion to provide an enclosed chamber region therebetween.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a rectangular shaped filter and coalescer elements and a vessel that houses a plurality of such rectangular shaped elements. Greater filtration or separation efficiency is provided due to increased number and alignment of rectangular shaped filter elements in the vessel. The rectangular shaped filter elements are also easy to replace.

Abstract: A computer program product, system, and method to manage access to storage resources from multiple applications. A plurality of virtual controllers is generated in a host memory space. Each virtual controller includes at least one virtual namespace that maps to a physical namespace in a physical controller. Applications are assigned to the virtual controllers. For each application of the applications assigned one of the virtual controllers, a virtual submission queue is generated to communicate with the virtual controller assigned to the application. An Input/Output (I/O) request to a target virtual namespace in one of the virtual submission queues is added to a physical submission queue for the physical controller having the physical namespace for which the target virtual namespace was generated.
