Abstract: The present invention is in the field of biocontrol of plant insect and/or mite pests. Particularly, the present invention discloses bacterial strains effective in inhibiting the development of or in killing insects and/or mites, and/or in protecting plants from deleterious effects of insects and/or mites, and use thereof as bio-pesticides.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system are disclosed. The system includes a sensing apparatus configured to monitor cardiac electrical activity of a patient and a computing apparatus operatively coupled to the sensing apparatus and configured to monitor cardiac electrical activity using the sensing apparatus to generate a cardiac signal over time, detect a pacing artifact in the cardiac signal, and determine to account for the pacing artifact when using the cardiac signal based on at least one pacing artifact characteristic of the pacing artifact in the cardiac signal. The computing apparatus is further configured to account for the pacing artifact when using the cardiac signal if it is determined to account for the pacing artifact.

Abstract: Technologies disclosed herein provide one example of a system that includes processor circuitry and integrity circuitry. The processor circuitry is to receive a first request associated with an application to perform a memory access operation for an address range in a memory allocation of memory circuitry. The integrity circuitry is to determine a location of a metadata region within a cacheline that includes at least some of the address range, identify a first portion of the cacheline based at least in part on a first data bounds value stored in the metadata region, generate a first integrity value based on the first portion of the cacheline, and prevent the memory access operation in response to determining that the first integrity value does not correspond to a second integrity value stored in the metadata region.

Abstract: A controller, process, and glass manufacturing apparatus can be configured to minimize defects. Embodiments can be adapted to control injection of nitrogen and/or argon and a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen or nitrogen, hydrogen, and argon during glass float manufacturing to facilitate a pre-selected hydrogen concentration within a tin bath furnace while also minimizing glass surface defects that can be caused from tin condensation and tin bath impurity concentrations. Empirical use data can also be collected and provided to a pre-defined machine learning element of a host device to update a pre-defined control scheme of a controller for adapting the operational condition set points or other target values to account for furnace operation history and performance.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor includes a cache and a core. The core includes an execution unit and cryptographic computing circuitry to encrypt plaintext data output by the execution unit and store the encrypted data in the cache and decrypt encrypted data accessed from the cache and provide the decrypted data to the execution unit for processing. The encryption and decryption are based on both a stream cipher and a block cipher. In some embodiments, the encryption is based on providing an output of the stream cipher to the block cipher and the decryption is based on providing an output of the block cipher to the stream cipher.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-stage system for treating greywater comprising an electrochemical treatment module configured to carry out electrooxidation and electrocoagulation processes and a filtration module comprising a multistage filtration system for the treatment and removal of chemical and biological contaminants in greywater.

Abstract: In the case of a device for the melting and/or crystallizing of non-ferrous metals, especially of silicon, provision is made, for improving the quality of the crystallized and block-shaped non-ferrous metal, for there to be arranged around a container for receiving the non-ferrous metal at least one controllable cooling element for the active removal of heat from the non-ferrous metal.
