Abstract: Disclosed herein are a repair apparatus, system, and method for a composite sandwich structure. The repair is suited for reinforcing a sandwich panel having a first sheet and a second sheet opposite the first sheet. A core is interposed between and coupled to the first sheet and the second sheet. The repair uses a potting compound packed into an abnormality of the core and located on the outer surface of the first sheet. A patch is coupled to the outer surface of the first sheet over the abnormality of the core and cured. The cured potting compound is interposed between and bonded to the patch and the abnormality of the core and bonded to the patch and the outer surface of the first sheet to form a structural reinforcement.

Abstract: Catalyst compositions are disclosed herein, as well as embodiments of catalyst systems and their use in the production of olefin polymers. The catalysts disclosed herein are simple organometallic, metallocene complexes having at least one guaiazulene-based ligand (e.g., guaiazulene or a guaiazulene derivative). Additionally, the catalyst can be combined with an activator, such as methyl alumoxane and/or a non-coordinating anion to provide a catalyst system. Either the catalyst or the catalyst system can be combined with a support, such as silica and/or alumina. The catalyst system, supported or unsupported, can be used to polymerize olefins, such as propylene or ethylene.

Abstract: The embodiments described herein pertain to constrained geometry catalyst (CGC)-type titanium catalyst compounds with an amido moiety that features asymmetric substituents that give rise to diastereomerism in new catalysts. Catalyst compounds embodying the present technological advancement are excellent catalysts for variety of transformations including homopolymers of propylene (P), ethylene (E), ethylene-propylene (EP)-copolymers and ethylene-octene (EO) copolymers.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a threshold value of a streaming-media key performance indicator (KPI) based on a predetermined target portion of end-user devices that provide an acceptable performance. Performance records are obtained for a content delivery network (CDN) adapted to cache and serve media content requested by the end-user devices. Predicted values of the streaming-media KPI are generated according to the performance records of the CDN and compared to the threshold value of the streaming-media KPI to obtain a comparison. An anomaly is detected according to the comparison, to indicate that a predetermined number of the predicted values of the streaming-media KPI fail to satisfy the threshold value. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to a homogeneous process to produce propylene polymers using transition metal complexes of a dianionic, tridentate ligand that features a central neutral heterocyclic Lewis base and two phenolate donors, where the tridentate ligand coordinates to the metal center to form two eight-membered rings. Preferably the bis(phenolate) complexes are represented by Formula (I): where M, L, X, m, n, E, E?, Q, R1, R2, R3, R4, R1?, R2?, R3?, R4?, A1, A1?, and are as defined herein, where A1QA1? are part of a heterocyclic Lewis base containing 4 to 40 non-hydrogen atoms that links A2 to A2? via a 3-atom bridge with Q being the central atom of the 3-atom bridge.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a repair apparatus, system, and method for structurally reinforcing an abnormal composite structural member. The repair is suited for reinforcing a cured composite structure that defines a strength tolerance and has an abnormality that reduces the structural strength relative to the strength tolerance of the cured composite. The structural reinforcement repairs the abnormality in the cured composite and provides the repair strength so that the repaired composite has a structural strength that meets or exceeds the strength tolerance. The structural reinforcement has a composite patch that is coupled to the cured composite over the abnormality and is covered by pressure-sensitive tape.

Abstract: The present invention is a manual non-mechanized device that consists of a base and a guide. This invention is a device that provides an expeditious method to invert or turn inside-out and to reform or turn glove appendages back to the proper side, that has numerous openings, one of which accepts a guide. The guide is defined as an asymmetrical cylinder having two (2) opposing ends. One end has a concave configuration and above and adjacent to the other end are a couple of grooves that circumscribe the guide with a couple of flexible elements fitted therein. The latter end is fitted into one of the openings in the base, to be securely mounted therein without using threaded means. The present invention facilitates efficient cleaning and/or rapid drying of the lining and quick reformation to the proper side with a proper fit. The main objective of the present invention is to promote healthy, morbidity free hands in the workplace and at home.

Abstract: A cooking system in the form of a fryer is provided to reduce and/or optimize the amount of cooking medium required to operate the fryer, while improving the reliability of movement of food product through the cooking system during a cooking process. To this end, the cooking vat of the system is designed with one or more heating elements positioned to avoid generation of turbulent flow in the cooking medium. Moreover, the movement of food product along the cooking vat and/or out of the cooking vat is done reliably and in such a manner to avoid turbulent flow in the cooking medium. The automatic cooking system provides improved cooking medium life span as well as reduced overall oil volume use.

Abstract: A cache server receives content and an instruction indicating an event associated with the content that causes a processor to invoke a call out to an adjunct device. The instruction further indicates an operation that the adjunct device is to perform. The cache server detects the event associated with the content, halts a flow of the content in response to detecting the event associated with the content, passes via the call out the content to the adjunct device to perform the operation, receives from the adjunct device a response and resulting data from the operation, and performs an additional operation on the resulting data based on the response from the adjunct device.
