Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums described herein are directed to determining and recommending an optimal compute resource configuration for a cloud-based resource (e.g., a server, a virtual machine, etc.) for migrating a customer to the cloud. The embodiments described herein utilize a statistically robust approach that makes recommendations that are more flexible (elastic) and account for the full distribution of the amount of resource usage. Such an approach is utilized to develop a personalized rank of relevant recommendations to a customer. To determine which compute resource configuration to recommend to the customer, the customer's usage profile is matched to a set of customers that have already migrated to the cloud. The compute resource configuration that reaches the performance most similar to the performance of the configurations utilized by customers in the matched set is recommended to the user.

Abstract: A biogas treatment process is integrated with a water treatment process to adjust the pH level of the water and to provide more effective disinfection of the water. A water wash process is utilized to separate methane and carbon dioxide present in the biogas. During the water wash process, the biogas is mixed with water and the carbon dioxide is absorbed into the water. Because the process typically occurs at an elevated pressure and reduced temperature to enhance the solubility of carbon dioxide in water, the water stream becomes supersaturated with carbon dioxide. This water stream, which is supersaturated with carbon dioxide, is provided to the water treatment process to adjust the pH level of the water treatment process. The pH level is regulated to a desired level such that an increased relative concentration of hypochlorous acid is produced when sodium hypochlorite is added to the treatment process.

Abstract: A wireless communication is proposed that utilizes a large available bandwidth (e.g., 10-100,000 MHz) and employs a combination of frequency shifting (from an input RF signal to an IF signal) and frequency hopping from one IF frequency value to another within the available bandwidth. The combination of frequency shifting and frequency hopping adds a level of noise mitigation moving the transmission frequency as a function of time (and avoiding frequencies known to be subject to noise). By its nature, the addition of frequency hopping frustrates the ability of outsiders to access transmissions. A map of frequencies to be used may be delivered to both the transmitter and receiver via a separate command/control signal path. Alternatively, a transmitter may develop the map and forward it to the receiver. The frequency hopping sequence is preferably a randomly-generated sequence that uses the entire available bandwidth.

Abstract: A system for key absence management in a vehicle configured to be started by an electronic key fob includes a key absence management controller that implements a method configured to authorize starting of the vehicle by monitoring presence and absence of the electronic key fob in the vehicle. If the controller finds the electronic key fob to be present in the vehicle, then the controller authorizes starting of the vehicle. If the controller finds the electronic key fob to be absent from the vehicle, then the controller authorizes starting of the vehicle based on detection of a keyless authority indicator. A vehicle configured to be started by an electronic key fob includes the system with the controller that implements the method.
