Abstract: Methods and systems are described for detecting and reporting a vulnerability fix in a code repository. A commit obtained from the code repository is preprocessed to generate file-level token sequences each representing a file-level code change for respective files. Respective file-level code change embedding vectors are generated by inputting each file-level token sequence into a transformer model, each file-level code change embedding vector being a vector representation of the file-level code change for the respective file. The file-level code change embedding vectors are combined into a commit-level code change embedding vector that represents all code changes contained in the commit. A predicted commit-level vulnerability fix score is generated by inputting the commit-level code change embedding vector into a classifier. A vulnerability fix report is outputted, containing an identification of the commit and the predicted commit-level vulnerability fix score.

Abstract: A butt fusion machine for joining of polyethylene pipe comprises a carriage assembly and a carriage controller disposed in the fusion machine. Programmed instructions stored in a non-volatile memory of the carriage controller control the carriage assembly for selectively operating in at least one of a manual, automatic, and semi-automatic mode of the butt fusion process. A butt fusion process, after a setup sequence includes (1) selecting a sequence of operating steps of a manual mode, an automatic mode, and a semi-automatic mode; and (2) executing the selected operating mode. The semi-automatic mode includes at least one step requiring intervention by an operator to confirm proceeding to a next step.

Abstract: An extraction reaction process is provided for reacting feedstocks comprising alkylene carbonate and alkanol to form reaction products comprising alkyl carbonate. The process comprises reacting the feedstocks comprising alkylene carbonate and alkanol in a reaction zone at reaction conditions for producing the reaction products comprising alkyl carbonate. The feedstocks comprising alkylene carbonate and alkanol and the reaction products comprising alkyl carbonate are, substantially concurrently with the reacting step and within the reaction zone, contacted with a selective solvent selective for extracting alkyl carbonate from the reaction zone. The selective solvent comprises a distribution coefficient with respect to the alkyl carbonate that is substantially different than the distribution coefficient of the selective solvent with respect to the alkanol.

Abstract: A process is provided for separating alkyl carbonate from a feedstock comprising at least one alkyl carbonate and at least one alkanol comprising extracting the alkyl carbonate from the feedstock in a liquid-liquid extraction step comprising a first extraction solvent comprising hydrocarbon selective for extracting alkyl carbonates relative to alkanol in an amount sufficient to extract a substantial portion of the alkyl carbonate from the feedstock and a second solvent comprising water in an amount sufficient to extract a substantial portion of the alkanol from the feedstock.

Abstract: A process is provided for separating alkyl carbonate from a feedstock comprising at least one alkyl carbonate and at least 0.01 percent by weight water comprising extracting the alkyl carbonate from the feedstock in a liquid-liquid extraction step comprising an extraction solvent selective for extracting alkyl carbonates relative to water in an amount sufficient to extract a substantial amount of the alkyl carbonates from the feedstock. The extraction solvent substantially comprises hydrocarbon boiling at a temperature ranging from about 50.degree. F. to about 700.degree. F. at atmospheric pressure and having a specific gravity ranging from about 0.50 to about 1.00.
