Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method of fabricating a nano-sized structure in a resin element by nanoimprint lithography (NIL). The method reduces adhesive failure during NIL demolding by inhibiting polymerization at the interface between the resin element and the template. The method includes depositing a layer of polymerization inhibiting compound onto a surface of the template. The layer of polymerization inhibiting compound has a thickness no more than 10 nanometers. A surface of the template has a nano-sized pattern that mirrors that nano-sized structure. The method further includes pressing the template onto the resin element (or the resin element onto the template) to form the nano-sized structure in the resin element. The process also includes curing the resin element after forming the nano-sized structure and removing the template from the resin element after curing the resin element. The polymerization inhibiting compound prevents adhesive failure during the removing.

Abstract: A method for managing flow of particles into an array of pairwise-point-interaction-module includes receiving a first set of particles into a first queue. The first set is a proper subset of a second set of particles that comprises all particles that are to be passed into an array of pairwise-point-interaction-modules during a current time period. Prior to having received all particles from the second set, particles from the first set are allowed to pass from the first queue into the array.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing data. In one exemplary implementation, there is provided a method of generating H output data from W data input streams produced from input data. Moreover, the method may include generating the H discrete output data components via application of the W data inputs to one or more transforming components or processes having specified mathematic operations and/or a generator matrix functionality, wherein the W data inputs are recoverable via a recovery process capable of reproducing the W data inputs from a subset (any W members) of the H output data streams. Further exemplary implementations may comprise a transformation process that includes producing an H-sized intermediary for each of the W inputs, combining the H-sized intermediaries into an H-sized result, and processing the H-sized result into the H output data structures, groups or streams.

Abstract: A mineral extraction system features at least one hydrocyclone, each having input piping, underflow piping, a cyclone portion and overflow piping; a particle size measurement device arranged on some part of the at least one hydrocyclone and configured to sense particles flowing in a process medium, and providing signaling containing information about the size of the particles in the process medium; and a controller having a signal processor configured to receive the signaling, and determine control signaling to control some part of the mineral extraction system, based upon the signaling received.

Abstract: Cooling control systems described herein detect decreased operation of a cooling system of a vehicle, restrict movement of the vehicle without stopping movement responsive to decreased operation of the cooling system, and restrict movement of the vehicle by preventing the vehicle from traveling at a speed and/or power output for a non-zero designated period of time. This can allow for the vehicle to continue moving for a temporary period of time to avoid blocking traffic. Other control systems determine predicted distances and/or times that the vehicle can continue moving before coolant in the cooling system decreases below a designated threshold. Movement of the vehicle can be changed responsive to an upcoming distance and/or time that the vehicle is to travel exceeding the predicted distance and/or time. Other control systems modify a coolant flow rate based on differences between designated and ambient conditions.

Abstract: Header bidding systems and methods increase a number of advertisers that can place bids for an advertising impression while maintaining low latency in loading of the webpage. The systems and methods utilize a specialized control wrapper in the header to manage one or more additional wrappers so as to allow for simultaneous bid collection from multiple groups of advertisers, one group per wrapper, without experiencing the traditional increase in latency of page loading as the number of entities bidding on an impression increases. Each wrapper contains information relating to a separate subset of advertisers from which to receive bids for the advertising impression. The control wrapper, as part of the header of the webpage, controls synchronization and timing of the separate bid processes controlled by the various wrappers to ensure that latency issues are avoided while the number of bids received is increased and revenue maximized.

Abstract: A bug screen for mounting to a grille of a vehicle comprises a membrane disposed in a frame. At least one slot is disposed on the frame, and at least one platform is disposed on the grille. At least one extension is disposed on the at least one platform. A leg is included in the at least one extension. The leg projects perpendicularly from the at least one platform and has an end opposite to the at least one platform. A barb is disposed on the end of the leg. A sloping surface is disposed on the barb, and the sloping surface passes through the at least one slot on the frame to mount the bug screen to the grille.

Abstract: The aluminum alloy product of an embodiment of the present invention includes a pair of outer regions and an inner region positioned between the outer regions. A first concentration of eutectic forming alloying elements in the inner region is less than a second concentration of eutectic forming alloying elements in each of the outer regions. Further, the aluminum alloy product has a delta r value of 0 to 0.10. The delta r value is calculated as follows: Absolute Value [(r_L+r_LT?2*r_45)/2] and the r_L is an r value in a longitudinal direction of the aluminum alloy product, the r_LT is an r value in a transverse direction of the aluminum alloy product, and the r_45 is an r value in a 45 degree direction of the aluminum alloy product.

Abstract: Suspicious credential changes are automatically detected and mitigated. A comparison of data surrounding user-account credential changes with suspicious change patterns forms a basis for detecting suspicious credential changes. More particularly, if a credential change substantially matches a known suspicious change pattern, the credential change can be flagged as suspicious. After a credential change is determined to be suspicious, one or more mitigation activities can be triggered to allay adverse effects associated with a suspicious credential change.

In one embodiment, a system is disclosed that may include one or more processors and one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, performs operations consistent with the disclosed embodiments. In one embodiment, the operations may include receiving a transaction description. The operations may also include identifying known location information corresponding to the transaction description and determining whether information from the transaction description corresponds to the identified known location information. The operations may further include removing location information from the transaction description based on the determination. In another aspect, the operations may also include extracting additional location information from the transaction description that is not associated with the known location information.

Abstract: A higher coding efficiency for coding a significance map indicating positions of significant transform coefficients within a transform coefficient block is achieved by the scan order by which the sequentially extracted syntax elements indicating, for associated positions within the transform coefficient block, as to whether at the respective position a significant or insignificant transform coefficient is situated, are sequentially associated to the positions of the transform coefficient block, among the positions of the transform coefficient block depends on the positions of the significant transform coefficients indicated by previously associated syntax elements. Alternatively, the first-type elements may be context-adaptively entropy decoded using contexts which are individually selected for each of the syntax elements dependent on a number of significant transform coefficients in a neighborhood of the respective syntax element, indicated as being significant by any of the preceding syntax elements.
