Abstract: An angiosperm index-1 and an angiosperm index-2 are correlated to an age of a liquid hydrocarbon sample and can be used to distinguish oil age of Late Cretaceous (100-65 million years before present, or 100-65 Ma BP) vs. Paleogene (65-55 Ma BP) vs. Eocene or younger (<55 Ma BP). This method improves over existing methods that cannot distinguish oil age between Late Cretaceous and Miocene (ca. 100-5 Ma BP).

Abstract: The water purifier includes a nozzle (9) in a jacket pipe (1). At least one inlet bore (21) connects an inlet-side section of the jacket pipe (1) to a turbulence chamber (19), which is open towards an outlet-side section of the jacket pipe (1).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adjusting the creep torque to maneuver a vehicle to a target location. In various embodiments, the creep torque adjustment mode is deactivated when the driver changes the direction of travel. The change in direction also causes the parameters of the creep torque control to be reinitiated to their initial values. In various embodiments, the creep torque mode is increased from a low creep towards a target creep. If the driver engages the brakes, the input torque is set to zero, and when the driver releases the brake, the minimum creep torque is set to the value that creep torque had risen to just before the brake was applied. This allows the driver to control the acceleration and speed, by just braking. In various embodiments, the creep control controls reverse creep to aid in hooking up a vehicle to a trailer.
