Abstract: A cuttings processing unit may include a conveyor interface configured to interface with a mud cleaning complex to receive drill cuttings. The cuttings processing unit may further include a breaker mill module operably positioned to receive the cuttings via the conveyor interface, a cuttings tank module operably positioned beneath the breaker mill module, and a pump module operably positioned beneath the cuttings tank module. The breaker mill module may be configured to grind the cuttings into a finer composition. The cuttings tank module may be configured to agitate the finer composition and create a slurry. The pump module may be configured to move the slurry.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a device may identify, for a set of frequency values and a set of temperature values, characterization gain values associated with an analog component. The device may determine a frequency contribution based at least in part on comparing a first observed gain associated with a reference frequency and a second observed gain associated with a target frequency. The device may determine a temperature contribution based at least in part on comparing a first characterization gain value associated with a reference temperature and a second characterization gain value associated with a target temperature. The device may determine a gain offset for the target temperature and the target frequency based at least in part on combining the frequency and temperature contributions. The device may configure the gain offset for the analog component. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Stable odor controlling compositions, methods for incorporating the compositions, and disposable absorbent articles, which release perfume and subsequently are able to minimize odor caused from bodily fluids via the presence of an oil-in-water emulsion that serves as a carrier and preservation system for the perfume. The stable odor controlling emulsion compositions include an oil-in-water emulsion comprising: a) an aqueous phase comprising a modified starch and water; b) an oil phase comprising a perfume; c) an effective amount of a rheology modifier; d) an effective amount of a co-surfactant; and e) an effective amount of an antimicrobial agent; wherein said emulsion composition is applied to said article in the form of stable emulsion droplets having an median size of less than about 1 ?m and dries to form a discontinuous film.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pet food composition comprising an antioxidant component. The antioxidant component can be derived from a decaffeination stream produced during the decaffeination process of coffee beans.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process to recover an antioxidant component. The process can include decaffeinating coffee beans to produce a decaffeination stream and decaffeinated coffee beans and then processing the decaffeination stream to recover the antioxidant component. The decaffeinated coffee beans can be in a usable form after decaffeination so that they can be used as part of a coffee making process to make roast and ground coffee for conventional brewing.

Abstract: An interface between an automation host and a plurality of tools is used to perform a processing step. The interface includes a single communications and process behavioral connection interface to the automation host. The interface also includes a plurality of virtual host interfaces. Each virtual host interface from the plurality of virtual host interfaces provides a communications and process behavioral interface to one of the tools in the plurality of tools. The automation host can control and coordinate operation of all tools in the plurality of tools via the single communications and process behavioral connection interface.

Abstract: A folding portable exercise apparatus having a contoured chest bar and a contoured lap bar. Two pairs of rods connect the bars. Each pair of rods is joined by a coil spring. An adjustable belt may be fastened around underneath the user. The device may be used to exercise the upper abdominal muscles, the triceps, the biceps, the pectoral muscles, the latissimus muscles, the back and lower abdominal muscles and the leg muscles such as calves, quadriceps, hamstring and gluteal muscles. The device may be disassembled and folded into a compact arrangement for storage and travel by detaching the coil springs from one pair of rods. This allows the device to be separated into components. The four rods may lie in the cavity along the major length of the respective chest bar and lap bars. The belt, springs and thumbscrews may then also lie together within the cavities and when closed produce a compact package the length and width of the chest bar and lap bar.

Abstract: A first clutch circuit for an automatic transmission in a hybrid drive vehicle comprises an apply line extending from a manual valve to a clutch, with a check ball disposed in the apply line operable to move out of the apply line upon upstream fluid pressure, and an exhaust line extending from the apply line, downstream of the check ball, to an exhaust valve. A driver-triggered valve actuating means operates to close the exhaust valve when the driver selects drive with a driver shift lever and to open the exhaust valve when the driver shifts out of drive thereby releasing the clutch.

Abstract: A composition for lubricating the top of a rail is disclosed. The composition is composed of: (a) 25 to 45 wt % of a first polyoxyalkylene glycol comprising a linear copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide copolymer and having an average molecular weight of about 2,500; (b) 0.5 to 3.0 wt % of a second polyoxyalkylene glycol comprising a linear copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide copolymer and having an average molecular weight of about 12,000; (c) 5 to 35 wt % of a solvent; and (d) a rust inhibitor. Methods of making and using the composition are also disclosed.

Abstract: A folding portable exercise apparatus having a padded chest bar and a padded lap bar. Two pairs of length-adjustable telescoping rods connect the bars. Each pair of telescoping rods is joined by a coil spring. An abdominal belt may be fastened around and underneath the user. The device may be used to exercise the upper abdominal muscles, the triceps, the pectoral muscles, and the back and lower abdominal muscles. The device may be disassembled and folded into a compact arrangement for storage and travel by detaching the coil springs from one pair of telescoping rods. This allows the device to be separated into two components. The telescoping rods may be folded so that they lie along the major length of the respective chest bar and lap bar. The belt may then be used to secure the two folded components together producing a compact package approximately the length and width of the chest bar and lap bar.

Abstract: Oil-in-water dispersions of .beta.-carotene and other carotenoids that are stable against oxidation, even in the presence of polyphosphates, especially sodium hexametaphosphate. These oil-in-water dispersions are typically prepared by contacting a water-dispersible beadlet comprising at least about 5% colloidal carotenoid with the water phase to form droplets of the carotenoid that are in intimate contact with sufficient oil phase such that the carotenoid is stable against oxidation, even in the absence of an effective antioxidant such as ascorbic acid. The oil-in-water carotenoid dispersions of the present invention are especially useful in dilute juice beverages for providing vitamin A fortification and color, as well as other oil/water food and beverage products where vitamin A fortification and/or color are desired.
