Abstract: Often there are errors when reading data from computer memory. To detect and correct these errors, there are multiple types of error correction codes. Disclosed is an error correction architecture that creates a codeword having a data portion and an error correction code portion. Swizzling rearranges the order of bits and distributes the bits among different codewords. Because the data is redistributed, a potential memory error of up to N contiguous bits, where N for example equals 2 times the number of codewords swizzled together, only affects up to, at most, two bits per swizzled codeword. This keeps the error within the error detecting capabilities of the error correction architecture. Furthermore, this can allow improved error correction and detection without requiring a change to error correcting code generators and checkers.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for producing homogeneous solutions comprising dissolved polyacrylonitrile-based polymer, and a system suitable therefor. The homogeneous polymer solutions produced by the process described herein may be used for producing carbon fiber, typically carbon fiber used in manufacturing composite materials.

Abstract: A system for location of assets on a premises is described. The system uses identifiers attached to a group of one or more assets along with mobile sensor packages. Each mobile sensor package contains components for data processing, data exchange, and storage. The sensor package also contains a sensor for reading identifiers and a location tool. The mobile sensor packages are attached to each mover of assets on the premises.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for predicting cost reduction of event correlation in fault event management. The method includes one or more processors receiving a plurality of candidate correlation groups of events in a set of fault events. The method further includes, for each candidate correlation group of events, one or more processors predicting a resource cost reduction in resolving the respective correlation group of events compared to resolving all events in the respective correlation group individually. The method further includes one or more processors analyzing the predicted resource cost reductions for the plurality of candidate correlation groups of events. The method further includes one or more processors selecting a candidate correlation group based on the analysis of predicted resource cost reductions.

Abstract: An interactive health assessment system and method is disclosed. A computer implemented system displays a plurality of health assessment questions to a user; receives an answer from the user for each respective question of the plurality of health assessment questions asked; generates a health score based on the answers received from the user; and provides the user with feedback information regarding the health score.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible polymeric film for enveloping a container comprising: a tear path; and a tear tab extending from the outer surface of the film; wherein the tear path comprises at least one fault line arranged to facilitate tearing of the film in one direction when the tear tab is pulled in a direction generally perpendicular to the container; wherein the at least one fault line comprises an embossed pattern being positioned to enhance the sound generated by the tearing of the at least one fault line.

Abstract: There is described a biaxially oriented polyolefin single or multi-layer film which comprises at least one core layer comprising a propylenic polymer component and either an ethylenic polymer component (preferably 0.2% to 8% by weight of core layer) or a styrenic polymer component (preferably 0.2% to 25% by weight of core layer). The films have a dynamic loss modulus (E?), at 3 Hz and 25° C., of 28 to 136 MPa (TD) and/or 73 to 135 MPa (MD) as well as a dynamic storage modulus (E?), at 3 Hz and 25° C., of 630 to 2800 MPa (TD) and/or 1300 to 3000 MPa (MD). These films are suitable for use as a label facestock with improved conformability for example to provide improved labels for squeezable containers.
