Abstract: Systems and methods to automatically provide graphics rendering optimization settings in real-time to a client device for rendering of graphics by a client application such as running on a browser or hand-held device. Specifically, a specially-configured Graphics Rendering Optimization Client application running on a client device sends requests to a corresponding Graphics Rendering Optimization Service running on a server system to obtain graphics rendering settings in real-time for rendering of graphics by the client application running on the client device, thereby providing automated and real-time graphics rendering optimization with little impact on the performance of the client application and client device. In certain embodiments, the Graphics Rendering Optimization Service employs an AI-based model that is trained and used to predict the graphics rendering settings in real time to improve the rendering performance.

Abstract: Disclosed are fried, edible sauerkraut foodstuff(s) having a predetermined shape. The foodstuff includes (a) shredded cheese and cream cheese dispersed throughout the foodstuff (b) a meat product, diced onion, and diced oven bell pepper heterogeneously dispersed in the foodstuff; (c) seasoning homogeneously dispersed throughout the foodstuff and (d) shredded sauerkraut. The shredded sauerkraut of the foodstuff is aggregated and adhered together by the shredded cheese and/or cream cheese to form the fried, edible sauerkraut foodstuff having a predetermined shape with the meat product heterogeneously dispersed throughout the foodstuff.

Abstract: An electrical generation system includes a plurality of wind generators. Each of the wind generators extends upwardly out of a body of water. Each of the wind generators is rotated by wind thereby facilitating each of the wind generators to generate electricity. A platform is slidably coupled to each of the wind generators. The platform travels upwardly and downwardly along the wind generator when the body of water raises and lowers. A plurality of motion units is operationally coupled between an associated one of the wind generator and the platform. Each of the motion units converts the upward and downward motion of the platform into electrical energy. A plurality of solar cells is coupled to the platform to convert sunlight into electricity.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically loading route and dependency information in a single-page application (SPA) that executes on a client device are provided. In one technique, a SPA includes a route handler that receives a requested route. The route handler determines whether the requested route matches any route in a list of routes. The only route that the request route may “match” is a wildcard route, which is associated with a function, when called with the requested route as input, causes a server request to be generated and transmitted from the client device to a server. The server responds with the requested route, dependency information for the requested route, and, optionally, one or more other routes, which may be “child” routes of the requested route. A module instance is generated based on the dependency information and loaded into the SPA.

Abstract: A water resistant battery box for use with electronic faucets. The battery box includes a lower housing, a cover supported by the lower housing, and an upper housing positioned between the lower housing and the cover. The upper housing includes a lip seal cooperating with the lower housing to prevent water from leaking into the housing while permitting for internal pressure within the battery box to be relieved.

Abstract: A composition or compositions useful as a well treatment fluid is disclosed containing high molecular weight guar and low molecular weight water soluble polymer having a lower molecular weight than the high molecular weight guar. The composition can also contain water and a crosslinking agent, and the low molecular weight water soluble polymer can include a low molecular weight guar. A method of treating a subterranean formation is also disclosed including placing the composition(s) in the subterranean formation.

Abstract: A method is provided for treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a well bore comprising the steps of: a) forming a phosphate ester gelled hydrocarbon fracturing fluid comprising a liquid hydrocarbon and a an alkyl phosphate gelling agent; b) adding said fluid a delayed gel breaker, c) injecting said fluid down a well, and d) allowing said breaker to break the fracturing fluid gel after an initial delay period and destabilize a metal crosslink in said gel, reducing the volatile phosphorous present in the fluid by at least about 25%.

Abstract: Packaging systems and apparatus include a product chutes a clipper mechanism residing downstream of the product chute, and a vertically extendable and retractable product holding member disposed downstream of the clipper mechanism. In operation, the product holding member is configured to: (a) automatically vertically move to a first operative position whereby the holding member contacts and traps a target product to inhibit the target product from traveling downstream thereof, then (b) automatically vertically move to a second different position to allow a product to travel downstream thereof.
