Abstract: A carbon material can comprise a porous scaffold of carbon fibrils and particles of carbon black attached to the carbon fibrils. The carbon material can be provided in an atmosphere of a gas comprising one or more organic compounds, for example, methane. The carbon material and the gas can be subjected to a temperature (e.g., 1700 K) that causes the organic compound(s) to undergo pyrolysis to form carbon and hydrogen. For example, the carbon material can be used as a Joule heating element to heat the material and the gas to the pyrolysis temperature. At least some of the formed carbon can be deposited on or within the carbon material. As a result, the carbon fibrils in the material can merge to form a carbonized matrix, and the carbon black particles can become embedded within the carbonized matrix.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a poultry herbal feed composition for producing eggs characterized by high calcium content. The present invention more particularly relates to the poultry herbal feed composition comprising of a) a plurality of plant extracts; b) a plurality of herbal extract, c) a plurality of pure spices, d) a plurality of algal extract, and e) a Resveratrol grapeseed extract. The composition of the present invention produces eggs with higher nutritional value and high calcium levels in comparison to conventional regular eggs.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for managing multiple heterogeneously owned data stores (e.g., data sets, data lakes) and provisioning a framework for data consumers and data publishers. A computing device can obtain a plurality of data catalogs associated with the data stores. For example, the computing device may update a hybrid data catalog with information from the plurality of data catalogs. The computing device can further provide a portion of the plurality of data catalogs to a data consumer. The computing device may provide the portion of the plurality of data catalogs based on permissions provided by the data publisher. In response, the computing device can receive a request to access a data store associated with the plurality of data catalogs. The computing device can transmit the request to a corresponding data publisher and, based on a response by the data publisher, may modify the distinct access controls for the data store.

Abstract: A urea-based slow-release fertilizer composition comprising an alkaline oil component and a urea component, wherein, the alkaline oil component is coated on the urea component, such that the ratio of the alkaline oil component to the urea component is in the range of 0.01:100 to 0.1:100. The fertilizer is cost-effective, easy-to-use, and its quality is maintained during storage and transport.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting collisions. One system includes a processor configured to receive data from at least one sensor installed on a shovel, identify a plurality of planes based on the data, determine if the plurality of planes are positioned in a predetermined configuration associated with a haul truck to identify whether the plurality of planes represent a haul truck. The processor is further configured to receive a current position and a current direction of movement of a dipper of the shovel, and determine if a collision is possible between the dipper and the identified haul truck based on the plurality of planes, the current position, and the current direction of movement and without receiving any information from the haul truck. If a collision is possible, the processor is configured to alert an operator of the shovel and, optionally, augment movement of the dipper.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an overview-head view of an industrial machine, such as a shovel. One system includes at least one processor configured to receive data from at least one sensor installed on the shovel relating to the area around the shovel, identify a plurality of planes based on the data, determine if the plurality of planes are positioned in a predetermined configuration associated with a haul truck, and if the plurality of planes are positioned in the predetermined configuration, superimpose the plurality of planes on an overhead-view image of the shovel and the area.

Abstract: A page table entry management method and apparatus provide the Microkernel System with the capability to program the memory management unit on the PowerPC family of processors. The PowerPC processors define a limited set of page table entries (PTEs) to maintain virtual to physical mappings. The page table entry management method and apparatus solves the problem of a limited number of PTEs by segment aliasing when two or more user processes share a segment of memory. The segments are aliased rather than duplicating the PTES. This significantly reduces the number of PTEs. In addition, the method provides for caching existing PTEs when the system actually runs out of PTEs. A cache of recently discarded PTEs provides a fast fault resolution when a recently used page is accessed again.
