Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for process control system performance analysis using scenario data. A method includes receiving, by an analysis system, an operating status of a process control system. The method includes identifying, by the analysis system, one or more scenarios in a scenario knowledge base that have at least one output variable that corresponds to the operating status. The method includes producing an output report, by the analysis system, that includes the operating status, the identified one or more scenarios, and one or more input variables or input variable values that correspond to the identified one or more scenarios.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing latencies of main memory data accesses are described. A non-blocking load (NBLD) instruction identifies an address of requested data and a subroutine. The subroutine includes instructions dependent on the requested data. A processing unit verifies that address translations are available for both the address and the subroutine. The processing unit continues processing instructions with no stalls caused by younger-in-program-order instructions waiting for the requested data. The non-blocking load unit performs a cache coherent data read request on behalf of the NBLD instruction and requests that the processing unit perform an asynchronous jump to the subroutine upon return of the requested data from lower-level memory.

Abstract: The invention may be broadly defined as the addition of Argon to FFPE procedures as an RNA stabilizing agent. Argon is an inert gas from the Noble gas group with low saturation concentrations in water. It is therefore highly surprising that Argon would have any effect on RNA stability in the presence of Formalin, or any other chemical. This property of Argon appears to be specific in that other inert gases fail to show any RNA stabilizing effect.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for protecting computing devices from imposter accessibility services may include (1) registering a security application with the computing device as an accessibility service that has special permissions on the computing device that are not available to other applications, (2) ensuring that the security application is the first registered accessibility service on the computing device, and (3) performing, by the security application, a security action after ensuring that the security application is the first registered accessibility service. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and system are disclosed that provision contextual information associated with business data. In one aspect, a framework middleware receives a request via an application to establish connection. Upon processing the request, the application may establish connection with multiple databases associated with multiple business management systems via an adapter framework associated with the framework middleware. Based on the established connection, the business data from the multiple databases maybe retrieved via a real-time provisioning adapter framework associated with the framework middleware. Multiple routines in the framework middleware may be executed to trigger a system landscape transformation model to transform the retrieved business data. Based on parameters associated with the transformed business data, associated contextual information maybe determined. The determined contextual information may be provisioned by rendering the contextual information on a user interface.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for generating a short term password that may be used to access a data warehouse. According to aspects of the disclosure, a user may request a password after inputting a data warehouse environment, an ID name, and a reason for the password reset. A server may receive the request and determine whether the difference in time of the present request and a previous request for the same ID name and data warehouse environment is greater than a time limit. Additionally, the server may determine whether a previous user has logged in using a password for the same ID name and data warehouse environment. Thereafter, the server may generate and output a short term password that expires after the time limit.

Abstract: Methods and system are disclosed that assist improving user experience, when consuming business data. In one aspect, a framework middleware receives a request via an application to establish connection with a multiple systems. Upon establishing the connection, the business data from the multiple systems may be retrieved. The retrieved business data may be transformed by triggering system landscape transformation data model. From the transformed business data, contextual information associated with the business data may be determined. The determined contextual information may be displayed on a user interface or a dashboard that is instantiated by the application. The contextual information displayed on the user interface is customized based on user preferences that enhances and improves user experience when consuming business data.

Abstract: A catalyst composition comprising at least about 10% by weight pentasil, at least about 12% by weight Y-type zeolite at a pentasil to Y zeolite ratio of at least 0.25, and wherein the pentasil and Y zeolite comprise at least about thirty-five percent of the catalyst have been shown to optimize light olefin yields and LPG from FCC processes. Embodiments having matrix surface areas greater than 25 m2/g, phosphorous and rare earth are preferred. The compositions of this invention are particularly useful in typical fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) processes.
