Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for enhanced preparation and integration of data sets. In some implementations, data indicating user input that identifies a first data set that includes streaming data and a second data set that includes non-streaming data is received. The first data set and the second data set are integrated to generate a hybrid data set. The data processing system provides access to the hybrid data set through a (i) non-streaming access channel that provides a periodically-refreshed summary of both the streaming data and the non-streaming data and (ii) a streaming access channel that provides a data stream based on combined data of the first data set and the second data set. One or more application programing interfaces are provided. The one or more application programming interfaces allow at least one client device to access the non-streaming access channel and the streaming access channel.

Abstract: The present invention offers some general specifications for the design, assembly, and adaptation of a rotating cylinder electrochemical cell into an autoclave, of a high temperature and pressure system for corrosion studies that simulate operating conditions in pipelines, as well as the operation and safety of an autoclave to evaluate the electrochemical process of metal surfaces exposed to aggressive aqueous solutions. The electrochemical cell consists of an array of three electrodes that include a rotating cylinder electrode designed to operate hermetically, a reference electrode and an auxiliary electrode. The rotating cylinder electrode is considered to be the working electrode, where the oxidation and electrochemical reduction processes are studied. However, the use of the method described in this work can be extended to other testing environments and materials by taking into account the physical and chemical properties of the fluids and materials to be used in order to avoid any risk for the operator.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting a suspicious object, including a wireless signal transmitter with first and second transmitter antennas, a first wireless signal receiver on an opposite side of the object from the transmitter having first and second receiver antennas, and a second wireless signal receiver on a same side of the object as the transmitter having a third receiver antenna. The transmitter may emit wireless signals from each of the transmitter antennas. The signals emitted by the first transmitter antenna may be received at the first and second receiver antennas. The signals emitted by both transmitter antennas may be received at the third receiver antenna. The object's material type may be determined based on channel state information of the wireless signals received at first receiver. A size of the object may be determined based on channel state information of the wireless signals received at the second receiver.

Abstract: The aspects include a method or system that identifies, by an access point (AP), an idle window in a fast locate scan interval. The AP can schedule a Block Acknowledgement Request (BAR) for an idle Station (STA) in the idle window. The AP may then transmit the BAR in the idle window to the idle STA. In response to the BAR, the AP can receive a Block Acknowledgement (BA). The AP may then determine a characteristic about the BA, and, based at least on the characteristic, determine a location of the idle STA.

Abstract: The invention relates to a personal care cream composition, more particularly to a photo-protective composition that maintains its sensory properties while ensuring high sun-protection efficacy. The present inventors have herein determined that inclusion of hydrophobic polymer particles of a specified particle size range enables certain cream compositions to not only provide the sunscreen benefits but also deliver the excellent watery sensation the consumers have come to expect from such compositions.
