  • Patent number: 11649535
    Abstract: A method of forming a high strength aluminum alloy is disclosed. The method includes solutionizing to a temperature ranging from about 5° C. above a standard solutionizing temperature to about 5° C. below an incipient melting temperature for the aluminum material to form a heated aluminum material, which is then quenched. The aluminum material includes at least one of magnesium and silicon as a secondary component at a concentration of at least 0.2% by weight. The cooled aluminum material is subjected to ECAE processing using one of isothermal conditions and non-isothermal conditions. Isothermal conditions include having a billet and a die at the same temperature from about 80° C. to about 200° C. Non-isothermal conditions include having a billet at a temperature from about 80° C. to about 200° C. and a die at a temperature of at most 100° C. The aluminum material is than aged at a temperature from about 100° C. to about 175° C.

  • Publication number: 20210383304
    Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for improving risk profile for information technology (IT) change management are disclosed. A processor establishes a communication link with a plurality of data sources and a receiver. The receiver receives input of change management data associated with an IT change management system via an API. The processor sets a scoring scale and applies big data and machine learning algorithm to the input of change management data. The application of big data includes collecting, by the processor, the API associated with the input of change management data from the plurality of data sources. The processor also calculates a risk profile for the IT change management system corresponding to the input of change management data based on the scoring scale and automatically generates a risk matrix having a predetermined dimension based on the calculated risk profile. The processor also integrates results from the models into other vendor products used for change management.

  • Patent number: 10425671
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, one or more computer systems of a social-networking system receive a first video stream from a content source, receive social content from a social graph of the social-networking system, and generate an overlay area comprising at least a portion of the social content. The social graph includes a plurality of nodes and edges connecting the nodes, the nodes comprising user nodes that are each associated with a particular user of the social-networking system. The one or more computer systems of the social-networking system determine a placement for the overlay area within the first video stream, generate a modified video stream using at least the first video stream and the overlay area, and provide the modified video stream for display on a display device. The overlay area is placed within the modified video stream according to the determined placement.
