Abstract: Cathode collector structures and/or corresponding cathode structures are provided that can allow for improved operation for a molten carbonate fuel cell when operated under conditions for elevated CO2 utilization. A cathode collector structure that provides an increased open area at the cathode surface can reduce or minimize the amount of alternative ion transport that occurs within the fuel cell. Additionally or alternately, grooves in the cathode surface can be used to increase the open area.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for operating molten carbonate fuel cells to allow for periodic regeneration of the fuel cells while performing elevated CO2 capture. In some aspects, periodic regeneration can be achieved by shifting the location within the fuel cells where the highest density of alternative ion transport is occurring. Such a shift can result in a new location having a highest density of alternative ion transport, while the previous location can primarily transport carbonate ions. Additionally or alternately, periodic regeneration can be performed by modifying the input flows to the fuel cell and/or relaxing the operating conditions of the fuel cell to reduce or minimize the amount of alternative ion transport.

Abstract: Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) are operated at elevated pressure to provide increased operating voltage and/or enhanced CO2 utilization with a cathode input stream having a low CO2 content. It has been discovered that increasing the operating pressure of a molten carbonate fuel cell when using a low CO2-content cathode input stream can provide unexpectedly large increases in operating voltage while also reducing or minimizing the amount of alternative ion transport and/or enhancing CO2 utilization.

Abstract: Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) are operated to provide enhanced CO2 utilization. This can increase the effective amount of carbonate ion transport that is achieved. The enhanced CO2 utilization is enabled in part by operating an MCFC under conditions that cause transport of alternative ions across the electrolyte. The amount of alternative ion transport that occurs during enhanced CO2 utilization can be mitigated by using a more acidic electrolyte.

Abstract: Molten carbonate fuel cell configurations are provided that include one or more baffle structures within the cathode gas collection volume. The baffle structures can reduce the unblocked flow cross-section of the cathode gas collection volume by 10% to 80%. It has been discovered that when operating a molten carbonate fuel cell under conditions for elevated CO2 utilization, the presence of baffles can provide an unexpected benefit in the form of providing increased transference and/or increased operating voltage.

Abstract: Compounds that either produced a higher proportion or greater absolute number of phenotypically identified nave, stem cell memory, central memory T cells, adaptive NK cells, and type I NKT cells are identified. Compositions and methods for modulating immune cells including T, NK, and NKT cells for adoptive cell therapies with improved efficacy are provided.

Abstract: A video processing system generates and automatically updates videos. A client inputs a smart script that defines general preferences and information to include in a video. The video processing system generates a model of the story from the smart script. A story model comprises story beats that define order and characteristics of information that is presented in a story. The video processing system accesses client content (e.g., video clips, images, and testimonials from a client website) and assigns content items to story beats. The story model and associated content is rendered into a video. The video processing system can then adapt the story model in response to viewer feedback, external events, or other client-supplied parameters. Adapting the story model may include reordering, adding, or removing story beats, or altering parameter values associated with story beat characteristics. Thus, the video processing system can iteratively improve and update a video automatically.

Abstract: Embodiments for maintaining a company profile of a company associated with a supplier/buyer commerce network are disclosed. One method includes collecting activity information of the company. The collecting includes monitoring a plurality of databases that each maintains activity information associated with the company, assigning a unique identification for the company across the plurality of databases, exporting the activity information associated with the company from each of the plurality of databases, and aggregating the activity information. The method further includes updating the company profile with the aggregated activity information of the company.

Abstract: A processing engine includes descriptor transfer logic that receives descriptors generated by a software controlled general purpose processing element. The descriptor transfer logic manages transactions that send the descriptors to resources for execution and receive responses back from the resources in response to the sent descriptors. The descriptor transfer logic can manage the allocation and operation of buffers and registers that initiate the transaction, track the status of the transaction, and receive the responses back from the resources all on behalf of the general purpose processing element.

Abstract: An efficient syntheses for the preparation of (3R,6S)-3-amino-6-(2,3-difluorophenyl)-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)azepan-2-one.

Abstract: A processing device employs a stack memory in a region of an external memory. The processing device has a stack pointer register to store a current top address for the stack memory. One of several techniques is used to determine which portion or portions of the external memory correspond to the stack region. A more efficient memory policy is implemented, whereby pushes to the stack do not have to read data from the external memory in to a cache, and whereby pops from the stack do not cause stale stack data to be written back from the cache to the external memory.

Abstract: A resource unit has a request interface to allow the unit to receive a request and associated data. The resource unit also has a hashing engine to create a hash of the associated data, a modulo engine to create a modulus result, a read engine to perform a memory read, and a results interface to allow the device to return results.

Abstract: Spent sulfuric acid is decomposed by atomizing it with an oxygen-containing stream into a decomposition furnace.

Abstract: Data is protected using locks, with the protected data sometimes being included in the locking messages, which may reduce overall processing latency, and/or reduce a bandwidth requirement for and/or number of storage operations accessing the native storage of the protected data. For example, the lock manager receives lock requests from each of the requesters, and selectively grants the lock requests. The protected data is typically communicated in the locking messages when the lock is highly contested, or at least two request for access to the data are pending. The lock manager initiates the sequence by indicating in a grant message to a requester to include the protected data in its release message. The lock manager then copies this data received in the release message to its grant message to the next requestor.
