Abstract: An elastic request handling technique limits a number of threads used to service input/output (I/O) requests of a low-latency I/O workload received by a file system server executing on a cluster having a plurality of nodes deployed in a virtualization environment. The limited number of threads (server threads) is constantly maintained as “active” and running on virtual central processing units (vCPUs) of a node. The file system server spawns and organizes the active server threads as one or more pools of threads. The server prioritizes the low-latency I/O requests by loading them onto the active threads and allowing the requests to run on those active threads to completion, thereby obviating overhead associated with lock contention and vCPU migration after a context switch (i.e., to avoid rescheduling a thread on a different vCPU after execution of the thread was suspended).

Abstract: A method of manufacturing bipolar plates includes passing a metal sheet through at least one tension roller disposed either upstream or downstream to a BPP forming roll to establish a longitudinal tension on the metal sheet as it passes through the BPP forming roll. A first pair of inner and outer lateral tension features are formed along a first side of the metal sheet and a second pair of inner and outer later tension features are formed along a second side of the metal sheet for use in establishing a lateral tension on the metal sheet as it passes through the BPP forming roll. The inner and outer lateral tension features in each of the first and second pairs have varying or different heights to advantageously provide a more consistent application of the lateral tension to the metal sheet.

Abstract: Methods for extracting from microalgae biomass valuable biomaterials, including polysaccharides, which can be used as coatings (biofilms) and other applications are described. The methods provide for partial separation of biomaterials into fractions enriched in different materials, which increases the utility and value of the original biomass, including a protein-enriched fraction, a polysaccharide-enriched fraction, and a lignin-rich fraction.

The methods can advantageously be used for utilization and valuation of left-over biomass after astaxanthin extraction from microalgae.

Abstract: Some data storage devices select blocks of memory from a free block pool and randomly allocate the blocks as primary and secondary blocks to redundantly store data in a write operation. However, some blocks, such as blocks on the edge of a plane, may not serve well as primary blocks. One example data storage device presented herein addresses this problem by allocating such blocks as secondary blocks instead of primary blocks.

Abstract: Processes for cracking hydrocarbons include contacting hydrocarbon feedstocks with conditioned cracking catalyst in a riser reactor to recover an effluent. The effluent is separated to recover a cracked hydrocarbon stream and a spent catalyst. The spent catalyst is contacted with steam, stripping residual hydrocarbons from the spent catalyst, and the stripped catalyst is fed to a catalyst regenerator and regenerated via combustion of coke contained in the spent catalyst, forming a regenerated catalyst and combustion products. The regenerated catalyst, containing entrained combustion products (e.g., NOx, SOx, and COx) including nitrogen from the regenerator, is fed to a catalyst standpipe hopper. The regenerated catalyst containing entrained combustion products is conditioned in the catalyst standpipe hopper by contacting the regenerated catalyst with steam to recover the conditioned catalyst and a vapor stream comprising steam and the combustion products.
