Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for optimization and recovery of second-generation sugar diluted stream, comprising pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis and mainly washing the residual solid from the enzymatic hydrolysis, which allows the increase of sugar recovery. The use of this sugar diluted stream is crucial for process integration, may have different possibilities of use, for example, can be applied in the mechanical refining step, microorganisms propagation, enzyme production, fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, including combination of uses.

Abstract: Systems and methods for container orchestration security employ one or more processors that separate a lifecycle of one or more containers into a plurality of predefined container image lifecycle phases; segregates control of the plurality of predefined container image lifecycle phases into a plurality of control environments separately controlled by different enterprise control components isolated from one another. In addition, one or more external processors may generate one or more certificates that are based on the platform, state attributes and meta data for interaction of the container with one or more external nodes. The one or more processors may also control the promotion, update and deletion of container images between the plurality of lifecycle phases and registries in different control environments as well as between the enterprise registries and the plurality of other registries that are part of multiple external clouds.

Abstract: An insulator for an elongated member having a first, proximate end and a second, distal end comprises a tubular member having a wall defining an opening that allows for the insertion of the elongated member and at least one slice extending from adjacent a first end of the tubular member along a portion thereof The slice is configured to allow the first and second ends to be pulled apart to increase the length of the tubular member.

Abstract: A door for selectively opening and closing at least a portion of an opening in a vehicle includes an outer door panel and an inner door panel. The inner panel is attached to the outer panel thus defining a space between the inner and outer panels. The door also includes a tubular reinforcement beam disposed in the space between the inner and outer door panels. The tubular reinforcement beam is attached to the door and has varying material thicknesses. A vehicle having a vehicle body that defines an opening and a subject door configured to selectively open and close at least a portion of the opening is also disclosed.
