Abstract: A switch control system for controlling a switch group, including two or more switches, to generate a switched output signal, including more than two discrete voltage levels, can include a sequencer, which can be configured to control respective on states and off states of one or more of the two or more switches to generate the switched output signal. This can include controlling the two or more switches through a specified sequence of switch states, where each switch state can include a respective state of one or more of the two or more switches. The switch states can include two or more power states, which can be configured for generating a portion of the switched output signal. The switch states can include one or more transition states, which can be configured for preventing at least one of shoot-through, a reverse current condition, or damage to the switch group when switching between power states.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to systems and methods for optimizing application instantiation in virtual environments. A scheduler may initiate requests for instantiating application instances, which are analyzed by an external analyzer. The analyzer may determine initialization parameters based on resource requirements, historical data, and real-time conditions, and may include using simulations and machine learning models to generate optimized instantiation plans.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to systems and methods for managing application startup within virtual environments. Operational requirements may be determined. A scheduler may receive a request for instantiating application instances that includes initialization parameters, which are analyzed by an external analyzer. The analyzer may generate an instantiation plan and instantiate the instances according to the plan.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an engineered yeast including an exogenous nucleic acid encoding a glucoamylase comprising SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:4, or a variant thereof. The engineered yeast are able to provide glucoamylase into a fermentation media and cause degradation of starch material generating glucose for fermentation to a desired bioproduct, such as ethanol. High titers of bioproduct (e.g., 70 g/kg of ethanol) can be achieved, along with low residual glucose levels. Further the yeast exhibit good growth and bioproduct product at temperatures of 32° C. or greater.

Abstract: The present application discloses genetically modified yeast cells comprising an active 3-HP fermentation pathway, and the use of these cells to produce 3-HP.

Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a thermal management system for electronics includes a vapor chamber that at least partially envelops the electronics, a working fluid contained within the vapor chamber and used to dissipate heat from a part of a heated portion of the electronics and a precision sintered 3D wick structure independently created on some of the interior of the vapor chamber. The precision sintered 3D wick structure transports the working fluid by capillary action from at least one working fluid receptacle to a part of the heated portion of the electronics. In one embodiment of the invention, the 3D vapor chamber may be formed by the additive manufacturing processes. A further example includes precision sintered 3D support structures integrated into the closed 3D vapor chamber.
