Abstract: A bearing assembly, method of assembling a bearing assembly and a pump are disclosed. The bearing assembly is for mounting a rotatable shaft of a pump, and comprises an inner ring and an outer ring and a plurality of rollable elements mounted between said inner and outer rings. The bearing assembly has a lubricant directing element extending radially outwards from an outer circumference of the inner ring. The lubricant directing element may comprise a sloped radial surface, at least a portion of the sloped radial surface facing an annular gap between the inner and outer rings, a radially inner portion of the sloped surface being closer to the rollable elements than a radially outer portion of the sloped surface.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to embodiments of optical measurement systems that are configured to perform spectroscopic measurements. The optical measurement systems are configured to provide compact arrangements for introducing light into a sample and collecting light returned from the sample. Reducing the size of the launch and/or collection architecture of an optical measurement system may make the overall optical measurement system smaller, thereby providing flexibility in integrating an optical measurement system into various form factors.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to processes for activating Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalysts. In particular, the application concerns a process for the activation of a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst, the process comprising: (i) contacting the catalyst with a first gaseous composition comprising at least 80% N2 at a pressure in the range of 2 barg to 20 barg at a temperature of no more than 150° C.; (ii) contacting the catalyst with a second gaseous composition comprising at least 80% H2 to form a H2/N2 gaseous composition with a H2:N2 molar ratio in the range of 0.2:1 to 2:1, resulting in a pressure in the range of 10 barg to 30 barg; (iii) increasing the temperature to a range of 220° C. to 260° C.; (iv) maintaining the catalyst at the conditions of step (iii) for a hold period in the range of 2 hr to 96 hr.

Abstract: A pair of eyeglasses may include one or more adjustable lenses that are each configured to align with a respective one of a user's eyes. The adjustable lenses may each include electrically modulated optical material such as one or more liquid crystal cells. The liquid crystal cells may include arrays of electrodes that extend along one, two, three, four, or more than four directions. Control circuitry may apply control signals to the array of electrodes in each liquid crystal cell to produce a desired phase profile. Each lens may be foveated such that portions of the lens within the user's gaze exhibit a different phase profile than portions of the lens outside of the user's gaze. The control circuitry may adjust the location of the optically distinct area so that it remains aligned with the user's gaze.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for aggregating and presenting recent activities for online synchronized content management system are disclosed. The system can identify recent events that are associated with a user account in a content management system. The recent events may refer to events or activities that have occurred within a threshold time duration in the past, across one or more client devices that are associated with the user account. The recent events may be about creating, modifying, viewing, accessing, renaming, deleting, or sharing of content. The system can aggregate two or more events in those recent events into one aggregated event when they meet a criterion, such as folder location similarity, time proximity, file type similarity, file name similarity, geographic proximity, user preference, etc. The system can then present the aggregated recent events at one of the client devices.
