Abstract: A lift unit, a system of such units, and methods of using such systems for a vessel moving through a fluid, are disclosed for providing lift and for controlling roll, pitch, and heave of the vessel. Each lift unit includes a passageway with a constricted chamber, through which fluid flows. Disposed within each constricted chamber is a foil having an axle attached at two ends, controlling the rotation of the foil in the flow of fluid. As fluid flows through the constricted chamber, its velocity increases, causing the foil to exert a lift force. The magnitude of the lift force is controlled by controlling the rotation of the foil about the axle.

Abstract: A system includes processing circuitry; and a memory connected to the processing circuitry, wherein the memory is configured to store executable instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, facilitate performance of operations, including receive a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) policy that includes an event to filter for and response to the event; obtain event messages from a data source, wherein each event message is generated by one or more state changes within a vRAN; filter each event message based on the vRAN policy; enrich filtered event message with information from an inventory; and trigger an action corresponding to the response in the vRAN policy.

Abstract: A system includes processing circuitry; and a memory connected to the processing circuitry, wherein the memory is configured to store executable instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, facilitate performance of operations, including receive a root cause analysis (RCA) policy identifier; receive one or more network element groups, where event messages from each network element group is to be filtered for monitoring; receive one or more defined faults for each network element group, the one or more defined faults including a threshold value; receive an RCA policy definition for each network element group, based upon a conjunction of the one or more defined faults; and receive an action to be initiated by an action resource in response to the RCA policy definition for a network element group being satisfied.

Abstract: Decontamination of water using guar gum (GG) derivatives and applications thereof are provided herein. For water decontamination, guar gum cinnamate (GGCi) is fabricated into nanoparticles having a high surface area that facilitates the removal of water pollutants by adsorption. Owing to its high availability, low cost, slow biodegradability and high sustainability, GG is considered promising as a next generation cost effective green material for water decontamination.
