Abstract: Systems and methods for managing the allocation of incoming charge power between an on-board power supply power output and HV battery power input. An electric vehicle (EV) may be used to provide power to one or more electrical devices connected to an on-board power supply of the EV. When the EV is connected to a charging device, a rate of charge may be determined. An allocation of the incoming charge power from the charging device may be determined as between a high voltage (HV) battery of the electric vehicle and the on-board power supply of the electric vehicle. Power may be simultaneously provided to the HV battery and the on-board power supply.

Abstract: An example system in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a cache engine, a validate engine, and an access engine. The cache engine is to cache, into an address cache of an object reference, an object address corresponding to an object, in response to performing a lookup of the object via at least one indirection. The validate engine is to validate that an object ID of the object located at the cached object address corresponds to a reference object ID that is stored in the object reference and associated with the object. The access engine is to access the object via a lookup of the object address cached in the address cache of the object reference, in response to validating the reference object ID.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a method for data type management may include adding a first data to a first data set. The first data set may belong to a plurality of data sets stored in a memory and each data set in the plurality may correspond to a type table defining data types in the corresponding data set. The method may further include determining that a first data type of the first data is not in a first type table corresponding to the first data set and generating an identifier corresponding to the first data type. The identifier may identify uses of the first data type within each data set in the plurality and may be a standardized value that is used by each data set in the plurality. The method may also include inserting the identifier into the first type table.

Abstract: There is provided a memory access control method and system in which one or more memory blocks are allocated to hold data for a dataset and the one or more memory blocks are associated with metadata related to the dataset and a policy related to allowing access to the one or more memory blocks for attachment of the memory blocks to a node. Upon receiving a request from a requesting entity to access an allocated memory block for attachment of the requested memory block to a node, the policy is enforced to determine whether to allow access to the requested memory block for the attachment of the requested memory block to the node given a set of memory blocks already attached to the node.

Abstract: A copy protection system and method enabling storage of copy protection information separately from protected content is disclosed. One embodiment includes a mechanism for playing a recording medium, the recording medium having stored thereon a digital content file and a copy protection information file, the mechanism producing a digital content signal from the digital content file and a copy protection signal from the copy protection file; a digital to analog converter operatively connected to the mechanism for converting the digital content signal to an analog signal; a copy protection detector connected to the mechanism for detecting a copy protection trigger present in the digital content signal; and a signal modifier connected to the copy protection detector for modifying the analog signal to include the copy protection signal in response to detection of the copy protection trigger.

Abstract: A centrifuge is provided with a mounting arrangement that secures a centrifuge bowl to a turntable in response to centrifugal force generated when the turntable is rotated. The centrifuge includes first and second retainers, one of which is connected to the turntable, while the other is connected to the centrifuge bowl. The second retainer engages the first retainer when the first and second retainers are in an interlocking position to secure the centrifuge bowl to the turntable. A movable arm is provided on the turntable and coupled to the second retainer, the movable arm has a ballast that forces the movable arm and second retainer in a first direction in response to centrifugal force generated by rotating the turntable so that the second retainer is forced into the interlocking position with the first retainer. In one embodiment, a vacuum applied to an opening in the turntable assists in mounting a centrifuge bowl to the turntable.

Abstract: Coal or other fine particles are pelletized by mixing relatively moist particles of them with fine particles of a waste product collected during grain transport and storage and extruding or pelletizing the mixture without extensive heating or steaming.

Abstract: In an improved continuous process for the production of linear alternating polymers of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon by contacting the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon under polymerization conditions in the presence of a reaction diluent and a catalytic quantity of a catalyst composition formed from a compound of palladium, the anion of a strong non-hydrohalogenic acid and a bidentate ligand of phosphorus, an improved start-up procedure is employed in which the catalyst composition concentration in the reaction diluent is increased until steady state polymerization is reached.

Abstract: Injection of gas into a bed of solids contained in a hopper is compartmentalized to allow independent control of gas to be vented upward and gas and solids to be discharged.

Abstract: In the process of producing linear alternating polymer of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon in the presence of a catalyst composition formed from a palladium compound, a bidentate ligand of phosphorus and a non-hydrohalogenic acid having a pKa below 2, lessened reactor fouling is encountered when the amount of acid initially provided is limited with additional acid being provided when polymerization has reached a certain minimum level.

Abstract: Linear alternating polymers of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon are produced in a continous flow reactor under conditions that result in a bulk density greater than 0.2 g/ml. The polymers are produced by polymerizing carbon monoxide and one or more olefinically unsaturated compounds in a continuous flow reactor in the presence of a palladium catalyst composition, the polymerization occuring in a liquid diluent in which the polymer product is almost or entirely insoluble, and by maintaining the polymerization at steady state wherein the ratio of the quantity of the polymer product formed per hour to the quantity of the polymer product in the reactor is less than 0.2.

Abstract: An elongated slot dryer is disclosed for drying wet solid particulate material. The slot dryer is constructed in the form of a trench with at least one aperture outlet at the bottom of the trench formed by two non-connecting walls. The wet particulate material (coal) enters through the top and exits through the bottom aperture while countercurrently contacting a drying fluid emitted through perforations situated in a drying fluid access means or conduit located substantially throughout the entire length of the slot dryer. The perforations in the fluid access means or conduit are limited to the bottom one half of the fluid access means relative to the aperture outlet to ensure that drying fluid is passed at first in a downward direction and then gently turns upward to countercurrent contact with the wet descending particles. An underlying conveyor will act to continuously remove the relatively dried particulate material passing through the aperture outlet.
