Abstract: A remote follow spot system includes a remote controller that has a body movable in pan and tilt directions, and an attached display. Movements of the body in the pan and tilt directions are translated into signals sent to a light to cause the light to move in the same directions as the body. The display receives a video feed from a camera mounted on the controlled light. The display hence shows the field of view where the light is pointing. In this way, an operator of the follow spot can control the light without physically being near the light.

Abstract: A metamaterial heat spreader includes a base, and a projection. The base is configured to be attached to a first surface of a heat generation component. The projection is continuous with and extends away from the base such that the projection is configured to be spaced apart from and overlap a second surface of the heat generation component. The projection is constituted by a metal with a periodic pattern. The projection is configured to have a high impedance surface (HIS).

Abstract: Chemical formulations for chemical products can be represented by digital formulation graphs for use in machine learning models. The digital formulation graphs can be input to graph-based algorithms such as graph neural networks to produce a feature vector, which is a denser description of the chemical product than the digital formulation graph. The feature vector can be input to a supervised machine learning model to predict one or more attribute values of the chemical product that would be produced by the formulation without actually having to go through the production process. The feature vector can be input to an unsupervised machine learning model trained to compare chemical products based on feature vectors of the chemical products. The unsupervised machine learning model can recommend a substitute chemical product based on the comparison.

Abstract: A remote follow spot system includes a remote controller that has separately movable parts that are movable in two orthogonal directions, and a display attached to one of said two separately movable parts. The display receives a video feed from a controlled light, that is controlled to move in the same directions as remote controller. The display hence shows the field of view where the light is pointing. In this way, an operator of the follow spot can control the light without physically being near the light.

Abstract: A robust, reliable, and efficient UHD HDR Internet Protocol IP client device, such as a set top box, receives content, for example, from a cable service provider so that the content can be displayed to a compatible display device with improved visual effect. The content is 4K or higher content that requires UHD/HDR for a satisfactory user experience. The UHD provides for an improved resolution of the content while HDR provides for a more intense or greater contrast range of the content when displayed on a compatible display device.

Abstract: A multiple-antenna device including a printed circuit board, a first antenna formed into a first corner of the printed circuit board, a second antenna formed into a second corner of the printed circuit board, and a dual-band decoupler formed in the printed circuit board between the first antenna and the second antenna. The multiple-antenna device includes WLAN circuitry located on the printed circuit board between the first antenna and the decoupler. The first and second antennas have polarizations orthogonal to each other.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for managing hydrogen sulfide in a refinery is provided. In the process, a hydrogen sulfide stream from said refinery is fed to a sulfur recovery unit to produce sulfur and a sulfur compound stream or to a thermal oxidizer. The sulfur compound stream and the hydrogen sulfide stream are then thermally oxidized to produce a sulfur oxide stream. The sulfur oxide stream is then reacted with an ammonia stream. In aspect, the product of the reaction can be a fertilizer. The ammonia stream can be obtained from stripping the hydrogen sulfide stream.

Abstract: A method for inoculating a plant with a nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus, said method comprising administering the nitrogen-fixing bacteria to a wound of a growing plant, for example to recently cut grass. Inoculation in this manner leads to enhanced growth characteristics including increased greenness of grass. Novel compositions suitable for use in the method are also described and claimed, together with kits for producing these.

Abstract: A control process and apparatus provide feed forward control of stoichiometric proportions of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia to a thermal oxidizer and an ammonia scrubber, respectively. To account for unmeasured or uncalculated sulfur feed to the thermal oxidizer, a feed back measurement of sulfur dioxide and ammonia concentration is used to correct the flow rate of hydrogen sulfide to the thermal oxidizer and/or ammonia to the ammonia scrubber.

Abstract: An artificially intelligent retirement income planning computing engine and methods for determining and documenting a withdrawal plan for a person who has multiple income sources. The computing engine has a data collection module to electronically receive a specification of cash flow receivable by the person from the income sources and a calculation module configured to employ multiple strategies employs rules-based artificial intelligence techniques to achieve a maximum or a pre-determined after-tax income that can be obtained by the person from the income sources during the person's retirement.
