Abstract: The present invention discloses a Double Metal Cyanide (DMC) catalyst(s) useful for the production of polyether polyols (PEPO) and a less energy intensive room temperature method for the synthesis thereof. The catalyst(s) comprises of a DMC complex, an organic complexing agent, i.e., ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and other co-complexing organic agents, e.g., t-BuOH, PEPO of composition ranging from about 1 to 10 wt %, wherein the average molecular weight of PEPO used ranged from 200 to 1000. A method of preparing a series of DMC catalyst(s) at room temperature with varying compositional ratios of the complexing and co-complexing agents targeting a wide range of PEPO of varying kinematic viscosity range is also disclosed. These DMC catalyst(s) are amorphous, highly active, and easily separable from product PEPO with recyclability/recoverability, making the product PEPO better industrially applicable and DMC catalyst more cost-effective.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for defending against row hammer attacks. Some aspects of the present disclosure include systems and techniques for defending against row hammer attacks using dynamic assignment of guard rows. One example computing device for memory protection generally includes at least one memory and one or more processors coupled to the at least one memory and configured to: receive a first memory assignment for a service; determine, in response to receiving the first memory assignment, that the service is associated with a type of data; assign guard rows adjacent to a memory subset to protect the memory subset based on the determination; and dedicate at least a portion of the memory subset for storage of data for the service.

Abstract: A double metal cyanide [DMC] catalyst and a method for the synthesis thereof at room temperature is disclosed herein. Various Schiff bases are incorporated as organic complexing agents in the DMC catalysts. The catalysts of the present invention are highly active for the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of epoxides in the presence of different H-functional initiators to produce polyether polyols (PEPO) with a wide range of average molecular weight (Mw) and polydispersity index (PDI).

Abstract: An improved resource need forecasting tool enables more accurate forecasts by leveraging models (e.g., machine learning models) of short-term phenomena such as rapid growth that, if not properly accounted for, can distort forecasts. Improved forecasting provides more reliable labor need projections, and includes receiving activity data for a facility; producing normalized activity data adjusted for the short-term phenomena; forecasting, based at least on the normalized activity data, predicted activity data; adjusting, based at least on an activity cannibalization index, the predicted activity data for the first facility to produce adjusted predicted activity data; adjusting, the adjusted predicted activity data based at least on the short-term phenomena; and generating a resource need report.

Abstract: Examples provide a workforce manager that analyzes historical pharmacy transaction data to generate a set of forecasted future prescriptions for a selected pharmacy. The forecasted future prescriptions are divided into predicted new prescriptions and predicted refill prescriptions. The predicted refill prescriptions are classified into a set of high confidence refills and a set of low confidence refills. The labor demand associated with the set of high confidence refills are redistributed within a range of pickup dates associated with each high confidence refill prescription to smooth labor demand minimizing variation within a selected time-period. A number of personnel are identified for each day in the selected time-period based on the smoothed labor demand. A schedule is published assigning at least a portion of the forecasted future prescriptions and the number of personnel to each day in the selected time-period is output.

Abstract: This document describes apparatuses and techniques for monitoring social media for breach of organizational privacy. In some aspects, these techniques receive social media content from a social media site or social media stream. The social media content is compared with organizational information that includes private information and public information to determine an amount of private data disclosed by the social media content. Based on a ratio of amounts of the private data and public data disclosed, a score is provided that indicates a degree to which the social media content breaches organizational privacy.
