Abstract: A Pickering particle dry powder and a preparation method are used in food processing. The preparation method includes stirring peanut protein isolate and water as raw materials to obtain peanut protein isolate dispersion, subjecting the peanut protein isolate dispersion to ultrasonic treatment, subjecting the resultant to cross-linking reaction with transglutaminase to obtain a monolithic geld, shearing and homogenizing the monolithic gel to obtain a microgel particle dispersion, spray drying the microgel particle dispersion to obtain the Pickering particle dry powder. The Pickering particle dry powder prepared by the ultrasonic-assisted enzyme method is still in nanometer level after rehydration, which is beneficial to preparing Pickering emulsion with strong stability. The preparation method has the advantages of simple operation and low cost, which is beneficial to actual production in the food industry.

Abstract: In various examples, systems for performing cloud-based updating of operating systems (e.g., root file systems) using system partitioning. For instance, a system(s) may initiate updates of the operating systems of machines, where the machines use system partitioning for the updating. More specifically, the system(s) may cause a machine to update the operating system using a standby system partition while the machine is currently running on another, active system partition. In some circumstances, the system(s) may perform these processes in order to update a cluster of machines, such as during a specific time period or at a certain frequency. By using such processes, the cluster of machines may still operate during the updating of the machines and/or even if the update fails on one or more of the machines.

Abstract: A computer system with programmable serial presence detection (SPD) data is disclosed. The computer system uses a user-programmable memory to store virtual SPD data which includes the configuration information of the memory module. The virtual SPD data is stored separately from the system boot code of the computer system. A computing unit uses a memory driver to drive the memory module. The memory driver accesses the user-programmable memory through a virtual SPD module to acquire the configuration information of the memory module.

Abstract: Described is a method of controlling the absorption of light in a cavity, a system in which absorption is so controlled, and an interferometer embodying the underlying physical concept. Materials can be made to completely absorb incident light when the light is imposed in a specific pattern of illumination. Coherent perfect absorption, as the process is referred to, is achieved when a cavity is illuminated coherently and monochromatically by the time-reverse of the output of a lasing mode. Varying the parameters of the incident light and/or of the cavity allows the absorption of the incident light by the cavity to be controlled; enhanced or even reduced.
