Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a threat detection system that shows a user an incident as it develops in real time by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to more accurately focus cameras and highlight the areas of concern within those feeds, providing a much more efficient user interface to the operator. These annotated feeds and feed focused triggering events can also be connected to third party systems. This timeline of events and evidence (small annotated clip of detection when available) is archived and can be reviewed at a later date, containing an accurate timeline of the incident as it progressed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a system-level cache to allocate cache resources by a way-partitioning process. One of the methods includes maintaining a mapping between partitions and priority levels and allocating primary ways to respective enabled partitions in an order corresponding to the respective priority levels assigned to the enabled partitions.

Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a turbocharger having a rolling element bearing (REB) assembly contained within a bearing housing includes an axial damper configured to dampen and limit axial displacement of the REB assembly. The axial damper can include different embodiments, including an elastomeric axial damper, wire mesh, or oil film, for interrupting contact between the bearing assembly and a displacement limit when an axial displacement force exceeds a preload force. Further, the axial damper can include an apparatus having at least two axially compressible rings, where one of the axially compressible rings includes a displacement limit feature.

Abstract: A delivery system deposits granular material being pneumatically conveyed within an entraining airflow to sequentially fill a storage silo from bottom to top. The delivery system has a series of vertical tubes and separators, vertically suspended and centered within the silo by a support, for conveying the entrained material upwardly from the bottom to the top of the silo. Each separator selectively separates the material from the airflow by choking the airflow entraining the material therewithin. Each separator automatically selects either to separate the entrained material therewithin and to deposit the separated material therefrom, or else to flow therethrough the entrained material without separation. The support has clamp assemblies, each having clamp halves and clamp brackets, wall brackets, and braces.

Abstract: Vented bearing retainer and roller bearings for turbomachines, such as compressors and turbines. Axial openings in, or adjacent to, the inner circumferential surface of the bearing retainer member equalize pressure differentials on the roller bearings. Axial grooves in the inner circumferential surface can be provided. Damper members on the OD of the retainer member can minimize rigid vibration modes and accommodate thermal growth and misalignment.

Abstract: The invention combines tiles with an optimal width to thickness ratio together into array(s), and then affixes the array(s) to a depressible adhesive coated substrate. This combination of array(s) and substrates compliments the optimal tile thickness to width ratio to create a more advantageous directional shift of energy dissipation that creates a yaw of the bullet's direction, and subsequent increase of ceramic thickness that the projectile must pass through. The invention eliminates hard epoxies and rigid fiber induced wraps to create a truly flexible matrix that can be applied for use to protect the body with traditional concealable or tactical carriers, or can be used as a “peel and stick” high threat armor system that can be easily field mounted to a vehicle, structure, or aircraft.

Abstract: A separator assembly (1c) in the form of a flare tank for separating and igniting gas from non-gaseous components of a fluid stream (such as a well return). The separator assembly (1c) comprises: at least one degasser (4) having a fluid stream inlet (41) for introducing the fluid stream (well return) into a vessel (40) of the degasser (4) at a reduced velocity, and optionally a degasser gas pressure relief system (60) and non-gaseous component filter (40); a tank (3) having a settling compartment (30) and a suction compartment (31); and a flare (5c) for igniting gas leaving the degasser (4).

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes placing a sample of a liquid chemical containing a contaminant on a substantially impurity-free surface of a substrate. The liquid chemical is evaporated, leaving the contaminant on the surface. The contaminant is concentrated in a scanning solution, which is then evaporated to form a residue. A concentration of the contaminant in the residue is determined.

Abstract: Atomic sixteen-byte memory accesses are provided in a 64-bit system in which eight of the bytes are stored in a 64-bit general-purpose register and eight of the bytes are stored in a 64-bit special-purpose register. A 16-byte load instruction transfers the low eight bytes to an explicitly specified general-purpose register, while the high eight bytes are transferred to the special-purpose register. Likewise, a 16-byte store instruction transfers data from a general-purpose register and the special-purpose register. Also provided is an 8-byte compare conditioning a 16-byte exchange semaphore instruction that can be used to accelerate algorithms that use multiple processors to simultaneously read and update large databases.

The controller is capable of transitioning the GPS unit between the DAF mode, the SCAF mode, and the DCAF mode.

The controller transitions the GPS unit between the DAF mode, the SCAF mode, and the DCAF mode. The controller receives an interrupt signal from at least one sensor and, in response, causes the GPS unit to operate in one of the DAF mode, the SCAF mode, and the DCAF mode.

Abstract: Finely divided material, such as flue dust from a steel making furnace, is processed to reclaim constituents. The material in hopper (11) is pelletized. The pellets are dried in a dryer (16) and fed to a first rotary kiln (21) where they are sintered to provide very hard pellets, during which process volatile constituents are driven off and collected. The sintered pellets are screened to remove finely divided material and fed with reductant, such as finely divided washed anthracite (35), to a second rotary kiln (31). Reduction of the pellets causes a second constituent to be driven off and the second constituent is then oxidized in the kiln and collected as finely divided oxide. The original pellets retain their integrity and become essentially sponge iron.
