Abstract: In one embodiment, a lidar system includes a light source configured to emit optical pulses using multiple pulse intervals (PIs) that include a first PI and a second PI, where the first PI and the second PI are not equal. The lidar system also includes a receiver configured to detect multiple input optical pulses. The lidar system further includes a processor configured to generate multiple pixels, where each pixel of the multiple pixels corresponds to one of the multiple input optical pulses and is associated with one of the PIs. The processor is further configured to (i) determine, for a particular pixel of the multiple pixels, a group of nearby pixels and (ii) determine whether the particular pixel is range-wrapped based at least in part on the PI associated with each pixel of the group of nearby pixels.

Abstract: Processes and systems for making recycle content hydrocarbons, including olefins, from recycled waste material. Recycle waste material may be pyrolyzed to form recycle content pyrolysis oil composition (r-pyoil), at least a portion of which may then be cracked to form a recycle content olefin composition (r-olefin). In some cases, the pyrolysis and cracking may be carried out in different sections of the same furnace, or in different furnaces in the same cracker facility. Pyrolysis conducted in a furnace may or may not require retrofitting a furnace previously used to crack alkanes to form olefins.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon cracker stream is combined with recycle content pyrolysis oil to form a combined cracker stream and the combined cracker stream is cracked in a cracker furnace to provide an olefin-containing effluent. The r-pyoil can be fed to the cracker feed. More specifically the-pyoil is present in said feedstock in an amount of not more than 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the feedstock.

Abstract: A composition having a recycle content value is obtained by reacting a recycle content feedstock to make a recycle content alpha olefin or by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value applied to an alpha olefin composition. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or in an allotment obtained by an alpha olefin manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste and/or pyrolysis of recycled waste and/or in thermal steam cracking of recycle content pyoil.

Abstract: The technology disclosed is a method of testing handling of secure communication sessions of clients with servers by device or system under test (DUT). The method includes (i) establishing a secure communication session between the client and the server while the client and the server transitions past a standards-required verification step or validation step without performing the required verification or validation, (ii) establishing a secure communication session between the client and the server while the client and the server reuse standards-required security mechanisms without generating or obtaining new standards-required security mechanisms, or (iii) establishing a secure communication session between the client and the server while the client and the server generate and transmit content contrary to an established standard-based procedure that poses certain requirements of the content.

Abstract: The eye examination kiosk and method may comprise a structure for rotating and/or translating ophthalmologic examination devices such as an auto-refractor, an auto-keratometer, a corneal topographer, a fundus camera, an external photo camera, a perimeter, a lensmeter, a specular microscope, a retinal and external eye imager, an Optical Coherence Tomographer (OCT), or a non-contact tonometer into a position such that they may be used for examination of a patient. The kiosk outer shell may comprise an opening allowing the ophthalmologic examination equipment to perform eye examinations of a patient. Eye examination results are transmitted to a remote location where they are read by a physician, who transmits examination findings and recommendations for follow up treatment to the patient. The results may include the identity of qualified physicians who practice geographically near the patient, or who are qualified to treat a patient for a specific condition indication.
