Abstract: The instant disclosure is generally directed to low viscosity, low volatility lubricating compositions. The lubricating composition of the instant disclosure includes an oil of lubricating viscosity that contains a lubricating base oil and a hydrocarbon oil. The hydrocarbon oil makes up least 20 wt % of the oil of lubricating viscosity and has a kinematic viscosity of less than 3.7 c St at 100° C. and a NOACK volatility (measured by ASTM D5800) of less than 25 wt %. The lubricant composition further includes a polyalkenyl succinimide dispersant, and, optionally, other formulation additives. The lubricating compositions have been shown to increase fuel economy in internal combustion engines.

Abstract: A system comprises a storage system comprising one or more storage devices and a storage controller operatively coupled to the storage system, the storage controller comprising a processing device, the processing device to receive first raw data from a first tenant of the storage system to a first non-volatile memory express (NVMe) input/output (I/O) queue of the storage system. The processing device further to determine that the first NVMe I/O queue corresponds to a first key, wherein the first key corresponds to the first tenant. The processing device further to encrypt the first raw data using the first key to generate first encrypted data. The processing device further to store the first encrypted data on the storage system.

Abstract: In some embodiments of present disclosure, a method includes: obtaining an aluminum sheet comprising a 3xxx or a 5xxx alloy having a tensile yield strength as measured in the longitudinal direction of 27-33 ksi and an ultimate tensile strength; wherein the ultimate tensile strength minus the tensile yield strength is less than 3.30 ksi (UTS?TYS<3.30 ksi); and forming a container having a dome from the aluminum sheet.

Abstract: A pipe vise stand having increased utility and greater useable work space, particularly during use of vise provisions associated with the stand, is described. The stand features a base plate having a unique configuration in which one or more pipe benders are located within a workpiece support region defined along an upwardly directed face of the plate between vise provisions and corresponding support provisions.

Abstract: A pipe vise stand and system for increasing the size capacity of the pipe vise stand are described. Upon incorporation of the system in a pipe vise stand, the stand can accommodate pipes of significantly larger diameter. The system includes a pipe support member which is configured to be positioned on a vise base of the stand. The system also includes a jackscrew extender that provides or relocates a jackscrew associated with the stand to a lateral position alongside the stand. Related provisions and methods are also described.

Abstract: A variety of work stands and support assemblies for supporting workpieces such as pipes, are described. The work stands include a base plate and a welding stand-off or grounding lug, at which an electrical grounding cable can be readily attached.

Abstract: An imaging system comprising a lens, a detector array (e.g., focal plane array), a signal processing module and a shutter, wherein the shutter is positioned in front of the lens (between the lens and the scene being imaged). This front lens shutter mount configuration allows offset correction to compensate for internal radiant flux and other deficiencies associated with conventional systems.
