Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to compositions that include antibodies, e.g., monoclonal antibodies, humanized antibodies and antibody fragments, that specifically bind a MS4A4A polypeptide, e.g., a mammalian MS4A4A or human MS4A4A, and use of such compositions in preventing, reducing risk, or treating an individual in need thereof.

Abstract: Described herein are highly thermally conductive hybrid carbon fiber composites. The composites are composed of one or more alternating layers of (a) a pyrolytic graphite sheet and (b) carbon fibers impregnated with a resin. The thermal conductivity of the composites is substantially higher when compared independently to the pyrolytic graphite sheet and carbon fibers. In addition to increased thermal conductivity, the composites possess other desirable properties such as increased thermal emissivity and solar absorptivity. The enhanced properties of the composites make them suitable for use in a number of different applications where heat flow is desirable.

Abstract: A system has a collection of central processing units. Each central processing unit is connected to at least one other central processing unit and has a path into flash memory resources. A central processing unit supports a mapping from a data address space, to a flash memory virtual address space, to a flash memory virtual page number to a flash memory physical address space.

Abstract: In general, embodiments of the technology relate to a method for managing data.

Abstract: Embodiments provide various techniques for dynamic adjustment of a number of threads for execution in any domain based on domain utilizations. In a multiprocessor system, the utilization for each domain is monitored. If a utilization of any of these domains changes, then the number of threads for each of the domains determined for execution may also be adjusted to adapt to the change.
