Abstract: A migration manager is deployed within a current cloud environment associated with an enterprise. The migration manager receives a request to generate a migration plan for migrating resources associated with the current cloud environment to a target cloud environment. The migration manager generates a list of resources utilized by the enterprise in the current cloud environment. The migration manager augments the list of resources with metadata comprising a set of descriptive tags generated by the migration manager. The set of descriptive tags indicates a capability associated with a given resource. The migration manager compares the augmented list of resources to a set of known capabilities associated with the target cloud environment. Based on the comparing, the migration manager generates the migration plan for migrating the resources from the current cloud environment to the target cloud environment.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detecting a wearing status of a wearable device, the wearing status indicating whether a user is wearing the wearable device and sending wearing status data to a companion communication device to control a behavior of the companion communication device.

Abstract: A method of operating a mobile industrial machine including an electric motor and a hydraulic motor for driving a common load may include receiving a desired drive request for the electric motor to drive the common load, driving the electric motor based on the desired drive request, sensing that the electric motor is unable to provide the full amount of the desired drive request, and driving the hydraulic motor to fulfill the full amount of the desired drive request.

Abstract: Systems and methods determine a current production rate of a piece of equipment processing first paving material at a worksite, receive first information indicative of an amount of power within a battery of the piece of equipment, receive second information indicative of a characteristic of the worksite, and determine predicted production rate of the piece of equipment to process second paving material at the worksite. The systems and methods further determine an amount of power required by the piece of equipment to process the second paving material at the worksite and determine that the amount of power within the battery of the piece of equipment is insufficient for the amount of power required by the piece of equipment to process the second paving material at the worksite.

Abstract: An asphalt paver may include a tractor and a screed configured for towing behind the tractor. The screed may include a tow arm secured to the tractor at an adjustable tow point. The paver may also include a monitoring system configured for monitoring and displaying the position of the adjustable tow point. The monitoring system may include a sensor arranged at or near the tow point for sensing the position of the tow point and a computing system in communication with the sensor for displaying the position of the adjustable tow point. A method of paving involving adjusting paving parameters to avoid or compensate for movement in the tow point is also provided.

Abstract: An electronic assembly having a multi-slot card assembly and a chassis is provided. The chassis has two or more chassis mounting slots, each including three walls. The multi-slot card assembly is mountable into the chassis and has two or more protrusions. The card assembly comprises at least one heat frame, at least one circuit card module mounted to the at least one heat frame, and at least one expandable fastener. When the card assembly is mounted into the chassis and the at least one fastener is expanded, the at least one fastener applies force against both of one of the walls of the slot and a surface of the at least one heat frame.

Abstract: An extruded butter stick product includes a plurality of pre-defined portions successively connected lengthwise to an adjacent portion by a connecting bridge, each bridge comprising a height that is at least 15% and up to 50% of the total height of the butter stick. Sidewalls of the successively connected portions define at least one trough leading to the bridge. Sidewalls may provide a surface for gripping one of the portions, and a bridge may define a fulcrum for breaking a portion from the butter stick such that each portion of the butter stick can be individually separated from the butter stick at the bridge. Alternatively, sidewalls and the connecting bridge may provide a guide for cutting the pre-defined portions. The butter sticks may be produced by an extruder and/or an extruder die defining an aperture with teeth for defining the troughs and connecting bridges in the butter stick.

Abstract: Provided herein are Streptomyces isolates, designated MH71 and MH243, cultures thereof, and compositions comprising the same. Also provided are uses of the isolates, cultures and compositions, for example, for treating and preventing infections and diseases caused by or associated with plant pathogen infections, reducing the susceptibility of plants to diseases caused by or associated with plant pathogen infections, and for inhibiting or reducing the growth of pathogens on plants.
