Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for compact radar systems. In some examples, a compact radar system can include a first set of transmit antennas, a second set of receive antennas, one or more processors, and at least one computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the radar system to coordinate digital beam steering of the first set of transmit antennas and the second set of receive antennas, and coordinate digital beam forming with one or more of the second set of receive antennas to detect one or more objects within a distance of the radar system.

Abstract: An example method of automatically deploying a containerized workload on a hypervisor based device is provided. The method generally includes booting the device running a hypervisor, in response to booting the device: automatically obtaining, by the device, one or more intended state configuration files from a server external to the device, the one or more intended state configuration files defining a control plane configuration for providing services for at least deploying and managing the containerized workload and workload configuration parameters for the containerized workload; deploying a control plane pod configured according to the control plane configuration; deploying one or more worker nodes based on the control plane configuration, and deploying one or more workloads identified by the workload configuration parameters on the one or more worker nodes.

Abstract: A system for opening a secure specimen sample bottle includes a base having a first area and a first raised hollow portion for receiving and holding the specimen sample bottle. The first raised hollow portion has a groove formed along an outer surface thereof. The system includes a cutter for cutting a first portion of the specimen sample bottle. The cutter has a handle at a first end and a second end portion that receives the first portion of the specimen sample bottle and a blade for cutting the first portion. The second end portion has a flange with a raised rail formed along an inner surface of the flange, with the raised rail being received within the groove to couple the cutter to first raised portion during performance of a cutting operation.

Abstract: A secure specimen sample bottle includes a base container for receiving a specimen. The base container has a plurality of locking protrusions formed along an inner surface of the base receptacle. A bottle includes a lock ring that has an upright spire structure that has a closed top end and the opposing open bottom end including a plurality of flexible fins that are configured to interlockingly mate with the locking protrusions so as to prevent removal of the lock ring relative to the base container upon engagement of the flexible fins to the locking protrusions. A removable cap is coupled to the lock ring.

Abstract: The present invention relates to devices and methods that use cooling and/or heating systems in pillows. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems that can constantly transport a fluid throughout a pillow in order to keep the fluid at a desired temperature. In order to start the cooling/heating process, a cooling/heating device can use fluid from a tank or reservoir that can be cooled/heated by a radiator. This fluid can then exit the system, be filtered through a hose or line, and then enter the pillow itself. After flowing through the entire pillow, the fluid can be transported out of the pillow and back to the cooling/heating device. By utilizing such a design, the cooling/heating system can keep the fluid moving throughout the pillow and at a desired temperature. As such, the pillow can also maintain a corresponding desired temperature.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved process for the production of deashed coal which includes contacting coal with coal dissolving solvent at elevated temperature and pressure in a hydrogen atmosphere and thereafter passing the resulting mixture to a vacuum tower to remove coal dissolving solvent for recirculation and leave vacuum tower still bottoms, which are substantially free of coal dissolving solvent. Said still bottoms then are contacted with a solubilizing solvent to dissolve a substantial quantity of said still bottoms after which said dissolved still bottoms are separated from undissolved still bottoms. The separation procedure may be effected by settling, countercurrent decantation, or filtration using pressure precoated rotary and plate filters and the like.

Abstract: A method of separating methylolphenols from an organic solution containing the methylolphenols by contacting the organic solution with an aqueous alkaline borate solution in which lithium ions are present in a quantity greater than any other single alkali metal ion for a period of time sufficient to form a solid complex of the lithium and boron with the methylolphenols which then are separated from the organic solution.The methylolphenols subsequently may be recovered from the complex by decomposing the complex with acid and dissolving the released methylolphenols in an organic solvent.
