Abstract: A sample inspection apparatus irradiates a sample with a conical shell of X-ray or similar radiation generating a plurality of Debye rings originating from a circular path on the sample. The apparatus is provided with two detectors. A first detector receives diffracted radiation and a second detector receives radiation which is transmitted through a coded aperture provided at a detection surface of the first detector.

Abstract: An example computing device includes a battery to power the computing device, a first operating system (OS), a second OS, and a hypervisor. The hypervisor is to: monitor a parameter of the first OS related to power to be drawn by the computing device for the first OS to enter a hibernate state; monitor a parameter of the second OS related to power to be drawn by the computing device for the second OS to enter the hibernate state; set a first modified remaining battery capacity of the first OS based on an actual remaining battery capacity of the battery and the parameter of the first OS; and set a second modified remaining battery capacity of the second OS based on the actual remaining battery capacity and the parameter of the second OS.

Abstract: A process for recommending choices to a user uses a first model representing the user's subconscious and a second model representing the user's consciousness. The process comprises receiving data and performing, using the second model, a simulation by modeling the user and a third party to derive a simulation result that determines how the user would react to a situation based at least in part on the received data. Using the first model and the simulation, a first set of recommendation choices based at least in part on the received data is derived, and a set of recommendation choices for presentation based on the first set of recommendation choices is determined and presented to the user. As the user is making a selection, the user is monitored for conscious decisions and subconscious reactions, which are used to update the first model and the second model.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to reporting a first updated threshold level related to a battery. A parameter related to power to be drawn by the computing device for the first OS to enter a hibernate state is monitored. The first updated threshold level are set based on the parameter. The first updated threshold level is reported to the first OS. The first OS is to vary the first battery level threshold based on the first updated threshold level.

Abstract: A sample (106) is irradiated with electromagnetic radiation such as X-Rays and diffraction data is sampled at inner and outer caustic rims formed at a sensor surface (108) and defined by a continuum of Debye cones (130, 132) formed by diffraction of the incident radiation. Intensities of the inner and outer rims while translating and rotating the sample are converted using a tomographic technique into X-ray diffraction images and material discrimination is also possible.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for accessing one or more files including scanning a storage device using a processor for one or more signed files in response to the storage device coupling to a machine, authenticating one or more of the signed files, and configuring the processor to access accessible files from the storage device in response to authenticating one or more of the signed files.

Abstract: A method for recommending choices to a user comprises receiving data. A first set of recommendation choices based on the data is derived using a first model that models a user's subconscious reactions (i.e., intuition) to the data, and a second set of recommendation choices based on the data is derived using a second model that models the user's consciousness. The first and second sets of recommendation choices are blended using a blending function based on characteristics of a domain of the data to create a third set of recommendation choices that are arranged in an order, which is presented to the user. A conscious decision of the user and subconscious reactions of the user are monitored, and data representing the subconscious reactions of the user and data representing the conscious decisions of the user are appended to a first and second memory space, respectively.

Abstract: A side under-ride collision guard is described configured to be mounted on a large trailer equipped with a sliding rear axle, comprising at least two linear fixed energy absorbing beam structures mounted axially with the trailer and attached to a plurality of support members connecting the beam structures to opposing ends of the trailer's floor beams, and at least two linear telescoping beam structures axially adjustable for position with respect to the fixed beam structures. The guard diminishes the impact hazard to other roadway users that is presented by the lower axial edge(s) of the cargo compartment in the two outboard regions that exist between the trailer's protected regions, which are typically the landing legs or prime mover rear tires to the front and the trailer's sliding axle assembly to the rear of the trailer.
