Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to automatic script generation using a multi-layered ingestion program. An automatic ingestion platform may generate the program. The platform may receive a request to ingest information. The platform may automatically generate a plurality of executable scripts using the program. The plurality of scripts may include at least one script corresponding to a first layer of the program and a plurality of scripts corresponding to a second layer of the program. The platform may identify a subset of information to be ingested based on executing a script corresponding to the first layer. The platform may execute the scripts corresponding to the second layer. Executing the scripts corresponding to the second layer may cause the platform to deploy a schedule management program and transfer the subset of information to a third layer. The platform may cause synchronization of a central information repository with the third layer.

Also provided is a method of manufacturing a turbine housing, assembly for use in a turbocharger, or a turbocharger.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to pre-completion skin repair of releasably isolated wellbore perforation clusters. In an illustrative example, a completion method includes dividing a target portion of a wellbore casing into N distinct portions. For each distinct portion, a wireline bottom hole assembly (BHA) may be positioned, for example, in a most downstream unperforated portion. The selected portion may, for example, be releasably fluidly isolated from downstream perforation clusters, and a new perforation cluster may be generated. A non-particulate skin-repairing fluid may, for example, be pumped from uphole until a breakdown pressure of a geological formation surrounding the wellbore is exceeded. The BHA may, for example, be operated to reestablish fluid communication before moving to a next portion. After repeating the process in the N distinct portions, for example, the BHA may be removed prior to final wellbore completion.

Abstract: Multiple users of a household can each have a different profile associated with a common account for an online concierge system. This association of different profiles with the common accounts allows the concierge system to show a user of the household what other users of the household purchased and rank items for suggestion to the user based one purchases of other users, facilitating order building. The online concierge system also enables a user profile to designate a user profile associated with the common account for an order pickup or as a contact for a home delivery. Additionally, association of different user profiles with the common account may be used for account recovery of one of the user profiles. Further, different user profiles may have different permissions for creating an order with the online concierge system.

Abstract: A rotary turbine bypass valve comprises a valve chamber and a valve rotor. The chamber is positioned at a junction of an inlet port, an outlet port and a bypass port. The inlet port is configured to receive exhaust gas, the outlet port is configured to fluidly communicate with a turbine inlet, and the bypass port is configured to fluidly communicate with an exhaust aftertreatment device. The rotor comprises a first and second recess, the first recess defining a primary flow passage, the second recess defining a secondary flow passage. The rotor is rotatable between a first position in which the rotor substantially blocks exhaust gas flow through the bypass port and a second position in which the rotor permits such. The secondary flow passage is configured to selectively permit fluid communication between the inlet port and the bypass port when the primary flow passage is partially blocked.

Abstract: Methods for increasing or decreasing Nitrogen (N) uptake/assimilation and/or usage in plants comprising over-expressing or repressing one or more transcription factors that have been identified by evaluating temoporal transcription of the TFs in response to N signaling and validated based on TF perturbation studies in plant cells and plants. Combinations of TFs may be used, where each TF may be independently induced or repressed to achieve a desired increase or decrease in N uptake/assimilation.

Abstract: A structural joint for a pickup truck, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a C-pillar, a gusset bracket, a cab back bracket, and a box panel. The C-pillar, gusset bracket, cab back bracket, and box panel are directly welded to each other to provide an assembly having a box section.

Abstract: Methods and systems for creating mobile conference rooms for conference calls between client devices and one or more contacts are described herein. A server receives, from the client device, a request to create a mobile conference room. The server creates the mobile conference room by assigning a phone number to the mobile conference room. After notifying the client device, the server receives data regarding one or more contacts to add to the mobile conference room. The server receives, from the client device, a request to initiate a conference call with a subset of contacts. A call is received, from the server, concurrently by each of the subset of contacts. The server bridges the client device and the contacts that have answered the call on the conference call.

Abstract: A current transformer is described which comprises a housing having one or more apertures, each for receiving a primary cable or busbar, one or more magnetic cores enclosed within the housing and being positioned proximate to respective ones of the apertures so that a magnetic field is produced in a magnetic core when a primary current flows through a primary cable or busbar received through the respective aperture, and one or more secondary windings enclosed within the housing, each secondary winding being wrapped around at least a portion of a respective magnetic core so that a secondary current is induced in a secondary winding when a magnetic field is produced in the respective magnetic core. Shunt circuitry is enclosed within the housing and is connected across the secondary windings to generate a respective voltage signal for each secondary winding. A connector socket is integrally mounted to the housing for outputting the voltage signals.
