Abstract: A swirl element for swirling fluid in a nozzle has a swirler body. The swirler body defines a feed channel including an axially oriented channel surface and a swirl chamber in fluid communication with the feed channel. The swirl chamber defines a radially oriented swirler surface substantially normal to the channel surface. The swirl chamber and the axially oriented channel are in fluid communication through a tangential slot for imparting swirl on fluids passing from the feed channel into the swirl chamber. The tangential slot includes a smoothly rounded surface transitioning from the channel surface to the swirler surface for providing a smooth, substantially separation free transition in fluid flow from the channel into the swirl chamber.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, programs, and methods for an allergy management system (AMS). In general, the AMS provides a system through which a practitioner or other user may manage allergy-related care for one or more patients. In one embodiment, the AMS includes an application executed on a computing device, such as a tablet or other type of mobile computing device, which provides an interface for the user to manage various information and/or algorithms to aid the practitioner in providing the allergy care. For example, the AMS provides an interface through which a user may enter information concerning allergy-related care of a patient and store such information in a database. Information concerning multiple patients may be similarly stored in the database from a particular practitioner or for multiple practitioners.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for deterministically switching a free layer in a spin orbit torque magnetoresistive random access memory (SOT-MRAM) cell is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an SOT-MRAM memory cell is provided. The SOT-MRAM memory cell includes a magnetic tunnel junction, a ferromagnetic bias layer, and an antiferromagnetic layer. The magnetic tunnel junction includes a free layer having primarily two bi-stable magnetization directions, a reference layer having a fixed magnetization direction, and an insulating tunnel barrier layer positioned between the free layer and the reference layer. The ferromagnetic bias layer is configured to provide spin orbit torque via anomalous Hall effect and simultaneously configured to provide a magnetic bias field on the free layer to achieve deterministic switching. The antiferromagnetic layer is positioned below the ferromagnetic bias layer and is configured to pin a magnetization direction of the ferromagnetic bias layer in a predetermined direction.

Abstract: A geospatial imaging system may include a geospatial data storage device configured to store a geospatial dataset including geospatial data points. A processor may cooperate with the geospatial data storage device to determine segments within the geospatial dataset, with each segment including neighboring geospatial data points within the geospatial dataset sharing a common geometric characteristic from among different geometric characteristics. The processor may further determine border geospatial data points of adjacent segments, compare the border geospatial data points of the adjacent segments to determine bare earth segments having respective heights below those of the border geospatial data points of adjacent segments, and classify geospatial data points within each bare earth segment as bare earth geospatial data points.

Abstract: A swirler for swirling fluid in a nozzle has a swirler body. The swirler body defines an inlet end, an outlet end opposed to the inlet end, and a circumferential periphery. The circumferential periphery extends axially from the inlet end to the outlet end. The outlet end defines a first swirl chamber. The inlet end defines a second swirl chamber.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs for nesting augmented reality markers within augmented reality overlays to create nested menu options in augmented reality applications are provided. An input image is received from an augmented reality input buffer. The input buffer is a digital representation of information taken from a camera. An output image including an overlay is received from an augmented reality output buffer. The output buffer is scanned for one or more markers, where the markers are associated with the overlay. A first user input is received, indicating a user selection of a first marker. A first maker overlay is displayed. The first marker overlay corresponds to the first marker.

Abstract: Augmented reality overlays for display to a user of an augmented reality device are managed. An object of is received. As received, the object is associated with an augmented reality marker within a field of view of the user. Information associated with the object is for display in an overlay. The speed of the augmented reality marker relative to the user is calculated. This speed of the augmented reality marker is compared with a threshold value. Responsive to the speed of the augmented reality marker being greater than the threshold value, the information is filtered out from the overlay, and the filtered overlay is displayed on the augmented reality device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for separating and removing aflatoxin-contaminated corn from batches of corn by a floating process, thus producing a distinguishable floating mat of contaminated corn and a separate submerged bed of uncontaminated and less contaminated corn. The methods of this disclosure include removing the floating contaminated corn mat by a vacuum mechanism or by liquid flow. The methods reduce the aflatoxin level in the submerged corn bed as much as 80% from the initial aflatoxin level, while removing no more than 15% from the batch of corn.
