Abstract: Technologies for applying a scrambling function in unfair load balancing scenarios include a network device having a communication circuitry and compute engine executing software on the network device. The compute engine is to determine, using a load balancing function, a distribution for data sets to each of multiple bins. Each bin maps to a destination. The network device determines, as a function of the distribution, an unfairness score indicative of the distribution being unequal among each of the destinations. In response to a determination that the unfairness score exceeds a specified threshold, the network device enables a scrambling function to be performed during configuration of the plurality of bins with the destinations.

Abstract: In a gas turbine engine, each vane has pressure and suction surfaces extending radially from an inner to outer endwall of an annular working gas engine passage, and extending axially from a leading to a trailing edge of the vane. Each vane has transverse sections providing respective aerofoil sections. Neighboring vanes are arranged in unequally-shaped pairs in which either: (i) the first vane of each pair exhibits compound lean, and the second vane of the pair exhibits reverse compound lean or has substantially no tangential lean, (ii) the first vane of each pair has substantially no tangential lean, and the second vane of the pair exhibits reverse compound lean, or (iii) the first vane of each pair exhibits reverse compound lean, and the second vane of the pair exhibits greater reverse compound lean. Within each unequally-shaped pair the first vane is on the pressure surface side of the second vane.

Abstract: Various processes and methods are disclosed for incorporating polyvinyl alcohol additives into products. In one embodiment, polyvinyl alcohol particles are dissolved in a solvent without the use of external heat to form a polyvinyl alcohol solution for incorporation into a product. In an alternative embodiment, polyvinyl alcohol particles are directly incorporated into a starch-based adhesive composition. Through the processes of the present disclosure, solid polyvinyl alcohol particles can be delivered directly to a manufacturing facility where the product that incorporates the polyvinyl alcohol additive is being made or formulated. In this manner, since the polyvinyl alcohol particles are not predissolved, the costs associated with shipping and transporting the polyvinyl alcohol product are greatly reduced.

The additive composition contains a nitrogen-containing polymer and a reactive agent capable of forming a crosslinking reaction with the nitrogen-containing polymer. Small amounts of the additive composition contained in a product cannot only increase one or more properties of the product but can also minimize the use of redispersible polymers in the product.

Abstract: It is applied in those processes in which it is required to modify the configuration of a first piece (1) for which, when joined to a second piece (2), for carrying out different tests, as is the case of measurements of aerodynamic properties of objects in a wind tunnel, it is required to modify the first piece, which implies modifying the coupling part of the second piece (2) on the first piece (1). The invention avoids manufacturing the complete second piece (2) with each new design of the first piece (1), for which the latter is designed and manufactured with a fixed configuration, valid for any possible configuration (1a, 1b) of the first piece (1) and which lacks the coupling part (3) with the first piece (1) in such a way that a third piece (3) is designed and manufactured corresponding to the coupling part between the configuration (1a, 1b) of the first piece (1) and the second piece (2) for carrying out the joint between both, with each design of the first piece.
