Abstract: A non-petroleum or renewable feedstock containing oxygen and contaminants of metals, gums, and resins is treated by introducing the feedstock into a reactor at a flow velocity of from 20 ft/sec to 100 ft/sec. The feedstock is heated within the reactor to a temperature of from 700° F. to 1100° F. to remove and/or reduce the content of the contaminants to form a reactor product. The reactor product is cooled to form a cooled reactor product. Non-condensable gases, metals and water are separated and removed from the cooled reactor product to form a final product. The final product has an oxygen content that is 60% or less of that of the feedstock, and wherein the final product comprises 25 wt % or less any triglycerides, monoglycerides, diglycerides, free fatty acids, phosphatides, sterols, tocopherols, tocotrienols, or fatty alcohols, from 5 wt % to 30 wt % naphtha, and 50 wt % or more diesel.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence for keyword recommendations. In an embodiment, raw keyword data are received. The raw keyword data comprise keyword activity records that each comprises a uniform resource locator (URL) for an online resource and metadata for the online resource.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to analyzing developmental progress and productivity of users based upon monitored activity features, and inferring expected levels of productivity for future time intervals. By analyzing code check-ins submitted by a user over a time interval, as other features associated with user activities during the time interval, a metric indicating a level of quality or productivity for the time interval can be determined. Based upon the determined metrics for the time intervals, expected levels of productivity for the user can be inferred for future time intervals. In addition, tasks can be automatically performed to reduce an amount of impact on the productivity of the user during time intervals of expected high productivity, such as scheduling of tasks outside of the time intervals, adjusting certain settings of a user device, and/or the like.
