Abstract: Lithium is an essential element for high-energy rechargeable batteries and other technologies. Disclosed herein are systems and processes for the extraction of lithium from liquid resources. The aforementioned systems and processes utilize ion exchange materials that selectively and reversibly bind lithium. The performance of the ion exchange materials is enhanced by the use of a chemical additive.

Abstract: A strain sensor is based on a self-biasing reference circuit that reaches an operating state that, at least at first order, is at least supply-voltage independent. The strain sensor provides an output signal that is defined by the operating state of the self-biasing reference circuit. At least one component in the self-biasing reference circuit has an electrical characteristic that depends on a strain to which the at least one component is subjected. This makes that the operating state of the self-biasing reference circuit depends on the strain. As a result, the output signal of the strain sensor varies as a function of the strain to which the at least one component is subjected.

Abstract: A process for estimating catalyst performance of catalyst used in refinery reforming processes for converting naphtha to gasoline. More in particular, the catalyst to be investigated is subjected to analysis in parallel over time at a temperature to achieve a desired RON on yield of e.g. C5+, for at least two different reaction times. The reactions are terminated after which coke deposition is determined, and relationships of coke deposition and yield, both as a function of reaction temperature for the catalyst used are established, thereby enabling comparison of catalyst performance as determined by a yield-temperature relationship at a given coke deposition degree.

Abstract: A DBMS training subsystem trains a DBMS workload-manager model with training data identifying resources used to execute previous DBMS data-access requests. The subsystem integrates each request's high-level features and compile-time operations into a vector and clusters similar vectors into templates. The requests are divided into workloads each represented by a training histogram that describes the distribution of templates associated with the workload and identifies the total amounts and types of resources consumed when executing the entire workload.

Abstract: Host specific containerized application configuration generation is disclosed. For example, first and second image files are stored on a first memory. Second and third memories are associated with a first host node. A request to generate a first configuration file associated with a plurality of isolated guests is received, launching a first short-lived guest of the plurality of isolated guests on the second memory. A configuration management application executes on the first short-lived guest, generating and saving the first configuration file to the third memory. The first short-lived guest is terminated. A first service guest of the plurality of isolated guests is launched on the second memory. A first service configured with the first configuration file executes on the first service guest. A second service guest of the plurality of isolated guests is launched on the second memory executing a second service configured with the first configuration file.

Abstract: A therapy system in which one or more eye patches are used to apply thermal energy to meibomian glands of an eye of a user to improve the release of meibum. The system comprises includes a headband which is worn by a user and in which a control unit is provided. At least one eye patch is provided which is connectable to the control unit. Each eye patch includes an outer area, an inner area with a flexible heating element located in the inner area. Electrical connections are used to connect the flexible heating element to the control unit to provide at least heat therapy to at least the meibomian gland in the eyelids. A charging unit is provided for recharging a rechargeable battery in the control unit.

Abstract: A method to prevent the inadvertent removal of volumes on a storage system is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes receiving a request to remove (e.g., delete, detach, unmask, etc.) a volume on a storage system. In response to receiving the request, the method initiates at least one process to monitor the volume for I/O activity over a specified period of time. In the event the at least one process does not detect I/O activity to the volume during the specified period of time, the method executes the request by removing the volume. In the event the at least one process detects I/O activity to the volume during the specified period of time, the method denies the request to remove the volume. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
