Abstract: Disclosed are silane-based and silane-free compounds that can be used in a method for sand consolidation in a subterranean formation, sand consolidation compositions, a method for reducing water effective permeability in a subterranean formation, and water block compositions.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can be invoked while a user is interfacing with a foreground application in order to retrieve data from one or more different applications, and then provide the retrieved data to the foreground application. A user can invoke the automated assistant while operating the foreground application by providing a spoken utterance, and the automated assistant can select one or more other applications to query based on content of the spoken utterance. Application data collected by the automated assistant from the one or more other applications can then be used to provide an input to the foreground application. In this way, the user can bypass switching between applications in the foreground in order to retrieve data that has been generated by other applications.

Abstract: A system for electrical impedance tomography comprises: a plurality of electrodes; a plurality of impedance measurement units, each being associated with two or more electrodes, and wherein each impedance measurement unit comprises a current generator for generating a stimulation current between the electrodes and an amplifier for amplifying a measurement voltage between the electrodes; wherein the system is configured to perform a plurality of impedance measurements, wherein, for each impedance measurement, one impedance measurement unit is set in a stimulation mode for providing a stimulation current into the object, and wherein the impedance measurement unit being set in the stimulation mode is switched among the plurality of impedance measurement units, and wherein each impedance measurement unit is configured to be set in a calibration mode during at least one of the plurality of impedance measurements.

Abstract: A method and system of deflecting air circulated in a data center room are disclosed. A method for controlling air circulation within a room having an aisle between racks with computer systems mounted thereon comprises supplying cooling air to computer systems in the racks via holes in a floor of the room and using a deflector to reduce flow of cooling air along the aisle toward an air intake of a cooling unit without passing the computer systems.
