Abstract: The present disclosure provides recombinant microalgae that can deliver both pathogen protection and essential nutrition to honey bees. The microalgae can contain genetic modifications that result in the expression of RNA-interference (RNAi) inducing elements that target honey bee pathogens and endogenous honey bee genes.

Abstract: A method is provided for performing dynamic inferencing at a node configured to communicate with other nodes of an IoT hierarchy. In the method, a schema for an asset object associated with one or more of at least one physical process and at least one physical device is received at the node. The schema is formatted according to an inferencing engine model format. An artificial intelligence model capable of being executed in an inferencing engine is received at the node. Data indicative of one or more of a current state of at least one physical process and a current state of at least one physical device is received at the node. The received data according to the schema and an inferencing engine are processed at the node. The inferencing engine generates a new predictive attribute based on the set of attributes, and the processing normalizes the received data according to the schema to generate normalized data, the normalized data includes the predictive attribute from the inferencing engine.

Abstract: A method for configuring output of information from an IoT network provides an interface for receiving user inputs from a user, the user inputs representing an asset type. User created rules define an asset behavior. The rules are input by the user in a human-readable language. Information representing the asset type and asset behavior is associated with one or more physical devices associated with a node of the network. The asset type is associated with a virtual area, which is associated with a physical area. The physical devices report raw state data of the asset, which is converted into user-defined state data and displayed to the user.

Abstract: Coated particles of metal (such as calcium) silicate that exhibit excellent odor neutralization and sebum absorption properties when present within certain cosmetic and/or personal care formulations and suspensions are provided. Uncoated calcium silicate exhibits a high pH level that may have a deleterious effect upon such cosmetic and/or personal care compositions, thereby rendering the overall composition ineffective for its intended purpose, particularly if the calcium silicate is present in its usual state at high loading levels. Alternatively, if certain materials present within personal care compositions exhibit a sufficiently low pH level, the effectiveness of such calcium silicates may be compromised as well.

Abstract: Precipitated silica product having low surface area and enhanced flavor compatibility. The precipitated silica product is especially well-adapted for use in dentifrices containing cetylpyridinium chloride, which do not attach to the low surface area silica product in a meaningful level and thus remain available for antimicrobial action. Processes for making the low surface area silica product are also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fluid personal care composition comprising a metal oxide silicate and a vehicle, wherein the metal oxide silicate is capable of absorbing a malodorous compound. These fluid personal care compositions that provide effective, long-lasting suppression of the malodors associated with human perspiration. The personal care composition may be in the form of a solid stick deodorants, liquid roll-on deodorants, aerosol, and pump spray deodorants, semi-solid gel deodorants, soap bars, and deodorant lotions and creams.

Abstract: A method of permitting out of order execution of load instructions with respect to older store instructions in a general purpose computer evaluates whether the same data bytes are being accessed by both the store and load instructions and if they are not the same, then out of order execution of the load with respect to the store instructions is permitted.

Abstract: An instruction selector receives M instructions per clock cycle and stores N instructions in an instruction queue memory. An instruction queue generates a precedence matrix indicative of the age of the N instructions. A dependency checker determines the available registers for executing the instructions ready for execution.An oldest-instruction selector selects the M oldest instructions responsive to the precedence matrix and the eligible queue entry signals. The instruction queue provides the M selected instructions to execution units for execution. Upon completing the instructions, the execution units provide register availability signals to the dependency checker to release the registers used for the instructions.

Abstract: Time-out checkpoints are formed based on a predetermined time-out condition or interval since the last checkpoint was formed rather than forming a checkpoint to store current processor state based merely on decoded instruction attributes. Such time-out conditions may include the number of instructions issued or the number of clock cycles elapsed, for example. Time-out checkpointing limits the maximum number of instructions within a checkpoint boundary and bounds the time period for recovery from an exception condition. The processor can restore time-out based checkpointed state faster than an instruction decode based checkpoint technique in the event of an exception so long as the instruction window size is greater than the maximum number of instructions within a checkpoint boundary, and such method eliminates processor state restoration dependency on instruction window size.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a zero flag (z-flag) status signal in a microprocessor includes a z-flag signal generator that generates a z-flag signal from unaligned data simultaneous to the load alignment of such data. The z-flag generator first performs a zero detect on each byte of data retrieved from memory. The zero detect results are next decoded according to bit selection signals generated from a data format code which corresponds to the specific format of the retrieved data.
