Methods also include producing a solid drag reducing additive that includes forming a polymer from at least one polar monomer by emulsion polymerization; and disrupting the emulsion by adding at least one demulsifier and at least one anti-blocking agent to form the solid drag reducing additive. Compositions include a solid drag reducing additive comprising a polymer prepared from at least one polar monomer and having an average particle size in a range of about 100 ?m to about 500 ?m, wherein the solid drag reducing additive comprises less than 50 wt % of liquid.

Abstract: An amplifier having one or more channels where each channel includes a two half bridges (a master and slave sub-channel). The sub-channels can be connected either in parallel or in a full-bridge configuration via internal switches that route signals to a pair of speaker jacks. One switch in the amplifier has a first position that selectively connects the outputs of the master and slave sub-channel to the same input of the speaker load so that the two sub-channels will drive the speaker load in parallel and a second position where the output of the slave sub-channel is connected to another input of the speaker load so that the master sub-channel and the slave sub-channel will drive the speaker load in a Full-bridge configuration.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for classifying content in one or more transactions. The apparatus includes a transaction boundary detector to detect boundaries of the one or more transactions associated with a first server or a first destination, wherein the one or more transactions include one or more requests from a client or a source and one or more corresponding responses from the first server or the first destination. A multimedia session generator generates a multimedia session object based on the detected boundaries of the one or more transactions. A multimedia classifier classifies the content associated with a first multimedia session. A traffic processing and policy enforcement unit applies traffic management to the first multimedia session based upon the classification.

Abstract: A system for finishing an interior or exterior drywall surface of a building structure by applying a formulation of dispensable compound material in liquified form at continuous flow with simultaneous surface finishing characteristics while reducing labor intensity and maximizing finish quality to a level 5 standard.

Abstract: A proofing air jet having a hollow elongated body having an air outlet and a suction inlet, the air outlet opposing the suction inlet, a pressurized air inlet into the body between the air outlet and the suction inlet, the pressurized air inlet being angled with respect to the hollow elongated body to flow pressurized air in a direction from the pressurized air inlet to the air outlet and provide a suction at the suction inlet, the air outlet having an innerduct/microduct connector for connecting to an opening of the innerduct/microduct, and the suction inlet having a string inlet configured to accept string. A plurality of the proofing air jets can be connected to a manifold.

Abstract: A waveguide illuminator includes an input waveguide, a waveguide splitter coupled to the input waveguide, and a waveguide array coupled to the waveguide splitter. The waveguide array includes an array of out-couplers out-coupling portions of the split light beam to form an array of out-coupled beam portions for illuminating a display panel. Locations of the array of out-couplers are coordinated with locations of individual pixels of the display panel, causing each light beam portion to propagate through a corresponding pixel of the display panel, thereby improving efficiency of light utilization by the display panel.

Abstract: Provided methods and systems allow dynamic rendering of a reflexive questionnaire based on a modifiable spreadsheet for users with little to no programming experience and knowledge. Some methods comprise receiving a modifiable spreadsheet with multiple rows, each row comprising rendering instructions for a reflexive questionnaire from a first computer, such as a data type cell, statement cell, logic cell, and a field identifier; rendering a graphical user interface, on a second computer, comprising a label and an input element corresponding to the rendering instructions of a first row of the spreadsheet; receiving an input from the second computer; evaluating the input against the logic cell of the spreadsheet; in response to the input complying with the logic cell of the spreadsheet, dynamically rendering a second label and a second input element to be displayed on the graphical user interface based on the logic of the first row.

Abstract: A method for mixing, processing and enhancing signals using signal decomposition is presented. A method for improving sorting of decomposed signal parts using cross-component similarity is also provided.

Abstract: A railcar comprises a first end, a second end, and a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side disposed between the first end and the second end. The first longitudinal side comprises a center panel and an intermediate panel. The center panel is disposed between a center of the railcar and the intermediate panel. The intermediate panel is disposed between the center panel and the first end or the second end. A width of the railcar at the intermediate panel is greater than a width of the railcar at the center panel. The center panel and the intermediate panel comprise generally straight panels coupled together at an angle. The first longitudinal side may further comprise an end panel disposed between the intermediate panel and the first end or the second end.

Abstract: A log management system includes a computing system that executes a set of instructions to receive one or more search terms from a database, and identify one or more element records that match the search terms. The element records are associated with the elements of a distributed computing environment. For each matched element record, the instructions obtain any of multiple log messages associated with the matched element record from a log message database, and facilitates the display of the one or more identified element records and their associated log messages on a display.

Abstract: A wireless access node controls Discontinuous Reception (DRX) for User Equipment (UEs). The wireless access node exchanges user data with network elements over backhaul links and determines backhaul link performance. The wireless access node selects DRX schedules for the UEs based on the backhaul link performance and transfers the DRX schedules to the UEs. The UEs power their wireless receivers per their DRX schedules. The wireless access node transfers data notices to the UEs per the DRX schedules. The UEs wirelessly receive the data notices per their DRX schedules. The wireless access node transfers user data to the UEs per the DRX schedules and the data notices. The UEs wirelessly receive the user data per the DRX schedules and the data notices.

Abstract: Pulling eyes are provided with integrated wiring systems suitable for installing conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may include body portions that define interior cavities that are sized to snugly engage outside portions of the conductors or cables. The body portions are sized to be deformably crimped onto the outside portions of the conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may also include head portions joined to the body portions, with the head portions defining apertures for receiving a strength member for installing the conductors or cables.
