Abstract: Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include configuring multiple storage system resources to manage a storage entity distributed among the storage system resources. Upon receiving, by a first given storage system resource from a host computer, an I/O request for data in the storage entity, a second given storage system resource responsible for managing the storage entity data referenced in the I/O request is identified, and the I/O request is forwarded to the second given storage system resource. Upon receiving the forwarded I/O request, the second given storage system resource performs a data compression operation while processing the I/O request, and conveys a result of the I/O operation to the first given storage system resource. Upon receiving the result from the second given storage system resource, the first given storage system resource forwards the result to the host computer.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to emulsions, and more particularly, to double and other multiple emulsions. Certain aspects of the present invention are generally directed to the creation of double emulsions and other multiple emulsions at a common junction of microfluidic channels. In some cases, the microfluidic channels at the common junction may have substantially the same hydrophobicity. In one set of embodiments, a device may include a common junction of six or more channels, where a first fluid flows through one channel, a second fluid flows through two channels, and a third or carrying fluid flows through two more channels, such that a double emulsion of a first droplet of the first fluid, contained in a second droplet of the second fluid, contained by the carrying fluid, flows away from the common junction through a sixth channel.

Abstract: Described herein are technologies related to an implementation of a time interleaved digital-to-time converter (DTC) topology to generate high frequency phase modulated local oscillator (LO) signals. A first and second DTC are connected to an oscillator where outputs of the two DTCs are combined to generate a phase modulated signal and the two DTCs have a frequency rate that is half the frequency rate of the phase modulated signal. The two DTCs can operate at a 50 percent or lower duty cycle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new molecular design that allows micelles to report their activation and disassembly by an enzymatic trigger. The molecular design is based on introduction of a labeling moiety selected from a fluorescent dye, a dark quencher, combinations of dyes or dyes/quenchers, and a fluorinated moiety (a 19F-magenetic resonance (MR) probe for turn ON/OFF of a 19F-MR signal) through covalent binding to the focal point of amphiphilic polymer-dendron hybrids with the labeling moiety. At the assembled micellar state, the dyes are closely packed and hence the probability for intermolecular interactions increases significantly, leading to alteration of the fluorescent properties (signal quench or shift) or the 19F-MR signal (OFF state) of the micelles. Upon enzymatic cleavage of the hydrophobic end-groups from enzyme-responsive dendron, the polymers become hydrophilic and disassemble.

Abstract: A rotating liquid ring rotating casing gas turbine (10) has at least one liquid ring rotating casing (13) having an eccentrically mounted impeller (11) adapted to rotate within a surrounding liquid ring (14) so as to form chambers (15) of successively increasing volume between adjacent vanes of the impeller. A working fluid formed by high pressure gas is injected into the impeller where the chambers are narrow via a fluid inlet (19) within a static axial bore (23) of the impeller so as to rotate the impeller and in so doing the gas expands isentropically. A fluid outlet (20) within the static axial bore of the impeller and fluidly separated from the fluid inlet allows the working fluid to escape at low pressure and low temperature.
