Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to processes for the selective separation of carbon dioxide (CO2) from multi-component feedstreams containing CO2. The processes use a potassium-form MER framework type zeolite having a stick-like morphology. The potassium is present in the zeolite as K+ in extra-framework locations, and the zeolite is essentially free of an extra-framework cation other than potassium.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, devices, and the like for segmentation of the processor architecture platform. In one embodiment, a system and method are introduced which enable the use of a segmented platform in an extended network. The segmented platform is introduced for processing using standardized plugins enabling the use of processing and services available at the segmented network. In another embodiment, processing on the segmented platform can include the integration of microservices for the completion of the transaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and annotating cell documents include extracting tables from a document using a table extraction engine. Headers are extracted for each of the tables using a header detection engine. Cells are extracted from each of the tables using a cell extraction engine. A cell document is generated for each of the cells which are each correlated to corresponding portions of the headers, each cell document recording the correlation between the cells and the headers. Each cell document is annotated to generate annotated cell documents with a cell recognition model trained to perform natural language processing on the cell documents by classifying each term in each of the cell documents and extracting relationships between the terms of each of the cell documents.

Abstract: A breakaway stethoscope includes a chest piece, a headset, a tube, and a coupler. The chest piece captures sounds generated inside a person's body when the chest piece is positioned adjacent the person's body. The headset directs the sounds captured by the chest piece toward a person's ear when the headset is positioned on an ear of the person. The tube connects the chest piece to the headset and conveys the sounds captured by the chest piece toward the headset. The tube has a length and includes a first portion connected to the chest piece and a second portion connected to the headset. The coupler releasably connects the tube's first portion to the tube's second portion and releases one of the tube's portions when the tube experiences a force that urges at least one of the tube's portions to move away from the coupler.

Abstract: Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to providing authorization code management for published static applications. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A monitoring system may include a module configured to couple to a base. The module may include a memory configured to store a firmware application and data, a processor operably coupled to the memory and configured to execute firmware to control the monitoring system, a wireless communication transceiver configured to allow communications between the module and other modules external to the monitoring system, and at least one sensor. The monitoring system is operable to monitor data measured via the at least one sensor and provide monitoring and alarm functions. The module is replaceable separately from the base, which has a shape generally resembling a safety cone.

Abstract: A construction material comprising a cellulose material impregnated with cementitious particulates, a cellulose material impregnated with cementitious particulates, cement, and sand, a cellulose material impregnated with cementitious particulates, cement, sand, and stone, and manufacturing processes thereof are described.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, devices, and the like for obtaining real-time estimates. In one embodiment, a novel customizable, transferable system architecture is presented that enables the characterization of a task, designated for time estimate, into steps or processes. The characterization may occur using the novel architecture which introduces an estimates service module that can provide an initial timing estimate by obtaining a composite time estimate of all steps. Timing of each of the steps can be predicted using a job scheduling enterprise designed to model the job or step. In another embodiment, delays are captured by time estimate monitors which can provide the alerts and delta time differences. Such alerts and time differences can be updated and presented to the user.

Abstract: In some examples, a device can be used for measuring a length of a wear indicator on a brake assembly. The device includes a moveable component configured to move based on contact with the wear indicator. The device also includes a sensor configured to detect a displacement of the moveable component. The device further includes processing circuitry configured to determine the length of the wear indicator based on the displacement of the moveable component detected by the sensor.

Abstract: A method for rendering linked content in a first document having a table with a plurality of cells is described. A first user entry of a first link in a cell of the plurality of cells is received at a computing device. The first link refers to a first set of content having a source location that is external to the cell. The cell is displayed in a user interface that displays the first document. Displaying the cell includes retrieving, by the computing device, the first set of content using the first link. Displaying the cell also includes updating, by the computing device, the user interface to display, within the cell, both the first set of content and a second set of content that is distinct from the first set of content.
