Abstract: Wind turbine rotor blade with reduced trailing edge noise A wind turbine rotor blade is described, the rotor blade extending in a spanwise direction between a root end and a tip end, and extending in a chordwise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The rotor blade comprises a series of serrations projecting from the trailing edge, each serration extending from a base to a tip to define a length of the serration. The rotor blade also comprises a respective distinct set of fins associated with, and arranged adjacent to, each of the serrations, each fin projecting from a surface of the blade and extending between a leading end and a trailing end to define a length of the fin. Each set of fins comprises multiple fins whose trailing ends are in spanwise alignment with, and are located at or upstream of, the base of the serration associated with the set.

Abstract: A method for obtaining elemental concentration and determining the formation mineralogy uses a tool having multiple dual-function detectors that can detect both neutrons and gamma rays simultaneously. The method includes emitting neutrons into the formation, detecting neutron and gamma ray signals from the formation and discriminating the neutron signal and the gamma ray signal, obtaining the space, time and energy dependent fluence rates for fast neutrons and thermal neutrons, obtaining gamma ray energy spectra from inelastic scattering and neutron capture reactions from one or more detectors, obtaining the energy spectrum of inelastic gamma rays and/or capture gamma rays from a single element, calculating concentration of the element in the formation using its energy spectrum of inelastic gamma rays or capture gamma rays from one or more detectors and the space, time and energy dependent fluence rate of fast neutrons or thermal neutrons, and determining the formation mineralogy.

Methods of inhibition of Des1 activity in a human or animal subject are also provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of a method, a non-transitory computer readable medium, and a system for vehicle alerting are disclosed. In an example, a computer-implemented method for alerting vehicles, the method including receiving, at a cloud computing system, digital data that includes location information about an object, determining, by the cloud computing system, a characteristic of a road that corresponds to the location information, and initiating, by the cloud computing system, a digital alerting operation for nearby vehicles in response to the characteristic of the road and at least one additional factor that corresponds to the object.

Abstract: After installation, a device may be not yet powered. It may be awakened by receiving a flash of light of sufficient frequency and amplitude. After waking, the device decodes the message to determine its next action, and, upon request sends an authentication message. This enables a single user action to wake the device up and set it up with networking credentials. The same process may be used to wake the device outside of a normal sleep-wake cycle.

Abstract: A surface cleaning apparatus includes a steam delivery system, a liquid delivery system, and a recovery system. The steam delivery system may include a steam dispenser having one outlet to dispense steam toward the surface to be cleaned and another outlet to dispense steam away from the surface to be cleaned as visible steam vapor. The apparatus may have multiple cleaning modes, including a mode where liquid is dispensed and a mode where liquid and steam are dispensed. Methods for operating a surface cleaning apparatus and for self-cleaning a surface cleaning apparatus are also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe a mental health management system. The mental health management system accesses patient data associated with a patient from a database, determines that the patient is associated with a trigger event, identifies a category associated with the trigger event, generates a notification based on the trigger event and the identified category, validates the notification based on a notification history and transmits the notification to a computing device.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an apparatus for intelligent matching of disparate input data received from disparate input data systems in a complex computing network for establishing targeted communication to a computing device associated with the intelligently matched disparate input data.

Abstract: A safety collar, systems, and methods are provided. The safety collar includes an anchor for securing the safety collar to a pressurized container and a retention slot for retaining and anchoring one or more pressurized components to the anchor. The safety collar anchors the one or more pressurized components to the pressurized container when the one or more pressurized components are decoupled from the pressurized container without first depressurizing the pressurized container.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include accessing a media item that includes multiple media item segments that are to be played back in a specific manner. The method may also include generating playgraphs for the media item, where the playgraphs define different playback paths between media item segments. The method may next include selecting a specific playgraph from the generated playgraphs, and then providing the selected playgraph to a playback device. Playback of the media item according to the selected playgraph may thereby provide a customized presentation of the media item. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling users to pause interactive content, such as streamed exercise classes, and return to the classes without compromising their class performance statistics or metrics are described. For example, when a user decides to pause (e.g., they have to quickly handle something), they may have their rank removed from a leaderboard, with the leaderboard passing the ranking to the next user of the activity, while the user is still placed on the leaderboard according to an approximated position or ranking.
