Abstract: A bolster system having a first bolster device, a second bolster device, and an adjustable tether that includes a one-way pre-tied slideable adjustment knot. The adjustment knot is at a first position prior to insertion of the first bolster device into a passageway in one or more bones. The second bolster device includes a body portion having an outer portion that is sized to be received in the passageway and/or in an aperture of a bone plate. The body portion also includes a channel that is sized to accommodate recessed and/or embedded placement of the pre-tied slideable adjustment knot. The second bolster device can also include an oversized plate portion that abuts against a cortex of a bone or a wall of a bone plate. The second bolster device can also include a threaded member or retention tab that lockingly secures the second bolster device to a bone plate.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for ranking time dimensions. One example method includes receiving a request for an insight analysis for a dataset that includes a value dimension and a set of multiple date dimensions. Each date dimension is converted into a time series and a value quality factor is determined for each time series that represents a level of data quality for the time series. A time series informative factor is determined for each time series that represents how informative the time series is within a specified time window. An insight score is determined, for each time dimension, based on the determined value quality factors and the determined time series informative factors. The insight score for the time dimension is provided, for at least some of the time dimensions.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically recommending one or more frequencies for time series data. One example method includes receiving a request for an insight analysis for an input time series included in a dataset. For each of multiple frequencies to analyze, the input time series is transformed into a frequency time series. An absolute percentage change impact factor and an absolute trend impact factor are determined for each frequency time series. A frequency interest score is determined based on the determined absolute percentage change factors and the determined absolute trend impact factors, for each time frequency time series. The frequency interest score is provided for at least some of the frequency time series.

Abstract: A method of reconditioning potatoes is disclosed. Over a time period of 1 week or more, potatoes are stored in a controlled environment having a temperature of >=10° C. and an atmosphere comprising ethylene at a concentration greater than 0.1 ppm. A corresponding system is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of homogeneous hybrid inorganic-organic materials comprising dissolving and/or suspending and/or dispersing an inorganic and an organic material in a ionic liquid solvent to form an ionic solution and precipitating the inorganic and organic materials together to form a hybrid inorganic-organic precipitate material. The invention further relates to the homogeneous hybrid inorganic-organic precipitate material obtainable or obtained by the process, in particular carbon alumina hybrid material, to shaped articles like fibers and particles comprising said hybrid material and the use thereof for the manufacture of—or as a component in—catalysts, sorbents, building and construction materials, packaging materials, paper materials, coatings and polymers.

Abstract: A bolster system having a first bolster device, a second bolster device, and an adjustable tether that includes a one-way pre-tied slideable adjustment knot. The adjustment knot is at a first position prior to insertion of the first bolster device into a passageway in one or more bones. The second bolster device includes a body portion having an outer portion that is sized to be received in the passageway and/or in an aperture of a bone plate. The body portion also includes a channel that is sized to accommodate recessed and/or embedded placement of the pre-tied slideable adjustment knot. The second bolster device can also include an oversized plate portion that abuts against a cortex of a bone or a wall of a bone plate.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for converting cellulose to nanocellulose. The process comprises dissolving a cellulose feedstock in an inorganic molten salt solvent medium. The solvent medium is substantially proton free. The solvent medium may contain a proton scavenger. The process is carried out at relatively low temperatures, and requires little input of mechanical energy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process to convert hydrocarbons into hydrogen and a separate carbon phase, whereby in step a) the hydrocarbons are contacted with a molten salt, preferably comprising Zinc Chloride, at temperatures preferably above 500° C. and in step b) a solid or liquid carbon phase is separated from the molten salt at a lower temperature, preferably below 150° C. The molten salt is then preferably re-heated to the desired temperature and recycled to step a). The process avoids the emission of CO2, making the hydrogen produced in this way a zero CO2 emission fuel and which also produces a carbon product produced having a use value.

Abstract: A method for the making of a plurality of LCD screens starting with an oversize panel. The panels laid out on the mother glass include a plurality of screen layouts with trace lead-outs around all four sides of a rectangular panel layout. A panel is then made which has conductor traces around the periphery of the panel. The conductor traces may conductor pads on the panel. The panels are then able to be cut into up to four separate final screen panels depending upon the size requirements of the application. Each of the cut final screen panels will have trace contacts along adjacent edges to allow for coupling to flex connectors. As some panels will be left-right images of each other with regard to pixel colors, drivers for the panels will be adapted for RBG to GBR conversion to drive mirror image panels with the same images.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for reversibly absorbing carbon dioxide to an alkali metal or earth alkaline absorbent. For absorption the absorbent is contacted with a first gas composition. For desorption the absorbent is contacted with a second gas composition. The moisture contents of the first and second gas compositions are controlled so that during the absorption step the absorbent is converted to a bicarbonate, and during the desorption step the absorbent is converted to a carbonate hydrate. Compared to prior art processes the process of the invention requires less energy input. The process of the invention is particularly suitable for producing a carbon dioxide enriched gas for accelerating plant growth in a greenhouse.
