Abstract: It may be determined when at least one boost achievement condition is satisfied for temporarily boosting visibility of a video streaming channel within one or more interfaces of a video streaming service. The boosting of the visibility of the video streaming channel may be initiated based on satisfaction of the at least one boost achievement condition. It may be determined when at least one boost reward condition is satisfied. The boosting of the visibility of the video streaming channel may be terminated based on satisfaction of the at least one boost reward condition. The at least one boost achievement condition and the at least one boost reward condition may differ for different video streaming channels and may be determined based at least in part on viewership of the different video streaming channels.

Abstract: Rubber to be recycled is first ground to rubber crumb and then is transferred to a plasticizing unit. The rubber to be recycled is mixed with chemicals including an aromatic, environmental-friendly, low volatility reaction oil, a thickening agent and an activator. This mixture is heated to a desired temperature under anaerobic conditions and then is maintained at that temperature for a suitable time. The processed material is then transferred to a cooling unit in which it is cooled to a temperature below 60° C. prior to being released from the machine.

Abstract: A tool that obtains a performance goal based on actual calculated performance of the vehicle, thereby eliminating a driver model. The tool includes an optimizer to determine path target points to be sent to controls, such as a steering controller, to obtain a performance goal—such as minimum transit time for a road segment. The design parameters and target lateral coordinates are input to a closed loop steering controller in a generic vehicle dynamic code. The invention uses discrete points to describe targets for path and speed making the use of optimization tools effective. The optimization is based on the actual calculated performance of the vehicle; therefore the path followed by the vehicle may be different from that described by the target(s). The target path is simply modified to obtain the best performance.
