Abstract: A plurality of road-to-traveler feedback (“RTF”) devices integrated with a plurality of electronic computing devices transmits location data to a server. The server transmits to the RTF devices traffic signal timing data based on the location data. RTF devices present suggested velocities based on the traffic signal timing data, such that if a traveler conformed to the suggested velocities and other travel-related data, the traveler would position himself into a geographic region on a roadway in which the traveler is ensured to avoid red lights and other traffic impediments. The server is operatively connected to traffic controllers and receives traffic light state data. The server facilitates a plurality of geographic regions based at least on the traffic light state data and detected travelers on roadways, wherein each of the geographic regions are synchronized to allow continuous traffic flow for the travelers positioned therein.

Abstract: Layering of initially mixed granular dissimilar material components deposited by surface flow is realized by varying the relative angle of the flowing layer periodically with respect to the bulk of the pile formed. Layer thickness and extent can be controlled by varying the timing and extent of the surface variations. Variation in surface flow rates may be realized by varying the feed rate from an inlet to a collection base at a fixed feed location, varying the feed location relative to the collection base, tilting the collection base that is supporting the material, and reducing the pile repose angle using vibration or fluid flow through the base.

Abstract: Carbon nanofiber doped alumina (Al-CNF) supported MoCo catalysts in hydrodesulfurization (HDS), and/or boron doping, e.g., up to 5 wt % of total catalyst weight, can improve catalytic efficiency. Al-CNF-supported MoCo catalysts, (Al-CNF-MoCo), can reduce the sulfur concentration in fuel, esp. liquid fuel, to below the required limit in a 6 h reaction time. Thus, Al-CNF-MoCo has a higher catalytic activity than Al—MoCo, which may be explained by higher mesoporous surface area and better dispersion of MoCo metals on the AlCNF support relative to alumina support. The BET surface area of Al—MoCo may be 75% less than Al-CNF-MoCo, e.g., 166 vs. 200 m2/g. SEM images indicate that the catalyst nanoparticles can be evenly distributed on the surface of the CNF. The surface area of the AlMoCoB5% may be 206 m2/g, which is higher than AlMoCoB0% and AlMoCoB2%, and AlMoCoB5% has the highest HDS activity, removing more than 98% sulfur and below allowed levels.

Abstract: A machine learning method predicts whether a specified subject is at high risk of developing cognitive impairment based upon a data record for said specified subject, and a method of training a dual neural network for such. These methods may work by automatically classifying said subject into a first class associated with a first predicted risk of cognitive impairment or a second class associated with a second predicted risk of cognitive impairment. Subject records are obtained comprising a first set of measured data and a second set of data including results for two or more health assessment questionnaires; and a label indicating that the subject belongs to the first class or second class. These records are used to train first and second neural networks, and in the latter method these trained networks are able to predict whether a specified subject should belong to said first class or second class.
