Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of vehicular adaptive distributed antenna systems (V-ADAS) or distributed antenna farms. In exemplary embodiments, the system may include antennas that are sharable with one or more software defined radio (SDR) instances. In exemplary embodiments, the system may be configured to be operable for dynamic selection of the best antenna(s) for the specific situation, e.g., for high reliability communication and/or power and performance optimization, rural versus urban, shadowing effects of the vehicle itself and/or nearby obstructions, etc. In exemplary embodiments, the system may be configured to power down one or more of the remote active antennas that are not needed.

Abstract: A method is disclosed, which comprises estimating a first value of a parameter of a component, prior to a use of the component in a reactor. In an example, the parameter of the component is to change during the use of the component in the reactor. The component may be treated, subsequent to the use of the component in the reactor. A second value of the parameter of the component may be estimated, subsequent to treating the component. The second value may be compared with the first value, where a reuse of the component in the reactor is to occur in response to the second value being within a threshold range of the first value.

Abstract: Embodiments of a search stemming module at a computer configured to receive a query and identify stems from the query and configured to search a secondary index for variants corresponding to the stems are disclosed. The secondary index may comprise one or more lists of stems associated with variants from a primary index; a search reconfiguration module configured to reformat the query to include variants found from the secondary index; and a search engine configured to implement a search of the primary index using the variants received from the search reconfiguration module.

Abstract: A method for operating a shale shaker to separate solids from a solids laden fluid, the shale shaker comprising a basket for holding at least one screen and a vibratory mechanism for vibrating the basket to an acceleration value, the method comprising the steps of monitoring the magnitude of the load of solids laden fluid in the basket and adjusting the acceleration value induced in the basket according to the magnitude of the load, wherein the acceleration is stepped down to a low acceleration value below a low load threshold.

Abstract: Embodiments of preservation solutions are presented herein. In particular, embodiments of such preservation solution may access a collaborative platform to preserve a collaborative content object by determining if any objects of a collaborative content object have been previously preserved. If none of the objects have been previously preserved, an archive for that collaborative content object may be created and stored. If, however, at least one of the objects of the collaborative object have been previously preserved, it can be determined if any objects of the compound content object have changed since the collaborative content object was previously preserved. An archive for only these changed objects (if any exist) may then be created and stored. Using these archives, at some point a review archive may be created and used to review the state of the collaborative content objects.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to vibratory separators that are used for processing drilling fluid, and in particular, vibratory separators that utilize electro-magnetic clamping apparatuses for attaching screen assemblies to a basket assembly. In one exemplary embodiment, an illustrative vibratory separator is disclosed which includes, among other things, a basket assembly having at least one screen support, and at least one screen assembly that is adapted to be releasably secured to the at least one screen support. Additionally, the disclosed vibratory separator also includes an electro-magnetic clamp apparatus that is adapted to releasably secure the at least one screen assembly to the at least one screen support when the electro-magnetic clamp apparatus is energized to a magnetized state, and to release the at least one screen assembly from the at least one screen support when the electro-magnetic clamp apparatus is de-energized to an un-magnetized state.

Abstract: Systems, methods and software products identify emerging issues from textual customer feedback. A message stream of customer feedback is received. The message stream includes a plurality of unstructured text messages from at least one homogeneous source. A time interval is established. The volume of text messages for the time interval is determined to establish a reference volume. The volume of text messages in subsequent time intervals is measured to establish a trend volume. The trend volume is compared to the reference volume to determine a volumetric change. At least one action is initiated in response to a volumetric change above a pre-determined threshold. At least one action is initiated in response to a volumetric change below a pre-determined threshold.
