Abstract: The present invention relates to devices and methods for containing gas leaks in pipelines. In particular, the present invention describes a device for eliminating gas leaks by sealing a gas leak in an expansion joint arranged between two pipes misaligned with each other, the device comprising a metallic structure comprising a sealing blanket, in which the metallic structure and blanket fully enclose the expansion joint using cables. In addition, the present invention describes a gas leak elimination device for sealing a gas leak in an expansion joint arranged between two aligned pipes, the device comprising a sealing blanket, steel cables, straps and fastening elements to fully enclose the expansion joint.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for optimization and recovery of second-generation sugar diluted stream, comprising pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis and mainly washing the residual solid from the enzymatic hydrolysis, which allows the increase of sugar recovery.

Abstract: The present invention addresses to an optimized process for the production of ethanol from energy cane, by the integration of first-generation (1G) and second-generation (2G) technologies, which presents the advantages of reducing energy and water consumption. More specifically, the secondary juice from the second set of three rolls of mills of the conventional process (1G) is used for dilution, in the enzymatic hydrolysis step, in the cellulosic ethanol production process (2G).

Abstract: This invention relates generally to anellosomes and compositions and uses thereof.

Abstract: A method for large-scale distributed machine learning using input data comprising formal knowledge and/or training data. The method consisting of independently calculating discrete algebraic models of the input data in one or many computing devices, and in sharing indecomposable components of the algebraic models among the computing devices without constraints on when or on how many times the sharing needs to happen. The method uses an asynchronous communication among machines or computing threads, each working in the same or related learning tasks. Each computing device improves its algebraic model every time it receives new input data or the sharing from other computing devices, thereby providing a solution to the scaling-up problem of machine learning systems.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to viral vectors and viral particles based on Anelloviruses, which can be used to deliver an agent (e.g., an exogenous effector or an endogenous effector, e.g., a therapeutic effector) to a cell (e.g., a cell in a subject to be treated therapeutically). Described herein are anellosomes, anellovectors, and compositions and uses thereof.

Abstract: In-memory computation of algebraic machine learning, such as computation of selected operations on data directly in RAM memory without need of transferring the data to a processor, enables higher internal bandwidth, more parallelism, and better energy efficiency, e.g., when performing operations related to large scale machine learning.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chipless RFID tag (T), comprising: —a dielectric substrate (1); and —electromagnetic resonators (3) excitable by an external electromagnetic field and respectively arranged on separate spatial locations of the dielectric substrate (1) forming a row, and configured to resonate at a common resonant frequency. The dielectric substrate (1) defines several predetermined encoding areas that include the separate spatial locations, so that data is encoded by the presence/absence of operative electromagnetic resonators (3) thereon. The present invention also relates to a system comprising the chipless RFID tag of the invention and a RFID reader (R) reading an encoded code by detecting the presence/absence of attenuation peaks on an electromagnetic wave providing the external electromagnetic field to the electromagnetic resonators (3). The present invention also relates to a method for encoding data on a chipless RFID tag defined according to the present invention.
