Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods are described that can be used to generate an operating schedule for a controller of an energy storage asset that is in communication with a transport vehicle, based on an optimization process. The operating schedule is generated based on an operation characteristic of the energy storage asset, an energy-generating capacity of the transport vehicle in communication with the energy storage asset based on a motion of the transport vehicle, and a price associated with a market (including a regulation market and/or an energy market). Operation of the energy storage asset according to the generated operating schedule facilitates derivation of energy-related revenue, over a time period T. The energy-related revenue available to the energy customer over the time period T is based at least in part on the regulation market and/or the energy market.

Abstract: Determining a location to consider when purchasing property may be difficult. A system for selecting one or more potentially appropriate neighborhoods for a user may generate profiles of different neighborhoods within a city. A generated user profile may be matched to the neighborhood profiles in order to provide potentially appropriate neighborhoods to a user.

Abstract: The apparatuses and methods herein facilitate generation of energy-related revenue for an energy customer of an electricity supplier, for a system that includes an energy storage asset. The apparatuses and methods herein can be used to generate operating schedules for a controller of the energy storage asset. When implemented, the generated operating schedules facilitates derivation of the energy-related revenue, over a time period T, associated with operation of the at least one energy storage asset according to the generated operating schedule. The energy-related revenue available to the energy customer over the time period T is based at least in part on a wholesale electricity market.

Abstract: It is decided whether to increase a total amount of storage in a pool of Hadoop storage and whether to increase a total amount of processing in a pool of Hadoop processing. If it is decided to increase the total amount of storage and not increase the total amount of processing, the total amount of storage is increased without increasing processing. If it is decided to not increase the total amount of storage and increase the total amount of processing, the total amount of processing is increased without increasing storage. In response to receiving a request to perform a process on a set of data, processing is allocated from the pool of processing and storage is allocated from the pool of storage where the allocated processing and storage are used to perform the process on the set of data.

Abstract: This invention provides processes for preparation of 3-alkyl indoles of Formula 1: wherein A1, A2 and A3 are independently selected from the group consisting of: H, X, OR1, CN, CONR22 and C02R3; R1 is C1-C6 alkyl; R2 is H or C1-C6 alkyl; R3 is C1-C6 alkyl; LG is a leaving group; X is a halogen; and n is 1, 2 or 3.

Abstract: A request is received to perform a process on a set of data. A set of resources, including processing and storage, is obtained to run an appropriate Hadoop system to process the received request. The set of data is processed using the obtained set of resources. One or more storage resources associated with the distributed system are allocated where a total amount of storage associated with the distributed system is independent of a total amount of processing associated with the distributed system. The processing results are stored in the allocated storage resources.

Abstract: A rear suspension system for an all-terrain vehicle having a chassis and at least three wheels. Two trailing arms are pivotally connected to a chassis. Each of the trailing arms includes a drive shaft bearing. A CV joint pivot arm is pivotally connected to the chassis. A CV joint housing is connected to the CV joint pivot arm. The CV joint housing includes a CV joint bearing. A CV joint is housed inside the CV joint housing and is supported by the CV joint bearing. A drive shaft extends through the CV joint and is rigidly connected to the CV joint. The drive shaft is further supported by each of the drive shaft bearings attached to the trailing arms. A shock absorption system is connected between the drive shaft and the chassis. In a preferred embodiment, a cross bar is connected between the trailing arms for stability. Also, preferably, the rear suspension system includes a sway bar and linear shock absorbers acting in combination to provide optimum suspension.

Abstract: A chuck includes a conductive element that contacts a device under test in a location on the chuck. The chuck includes an upper surface for supporting a device under test and a conductive element that extends through the chuck to the upper surface of the chuck. The conductive element is electrically isolated from the upper surface of the chuck, and makes electrical contact with any device under test supported by the chuck.

Abstract: Apparatus and method of exposing a chemical, biological or biochemical sample to radiation. A sample in liquid or vapour phase is segmented and conveyed along a sample path. At least one generator or source for generating electromagnetic radiation is directed at the sample and at least one of reflected, emitted and transmitted radiation is measured at least one point along the sample path. In one embodiment, the sample is a luminescent culture produced by a continuous culture system.
