Abstract: The presently claimed invention relates to a process for the beneficiation of coal and other hydrophobic materials, wherein a collector composition comprising by-products obtained by hydroformylation of octene isomers as a first component and diesel, kerosene and/or C8-C20 olefins as a second component is used.

Abstract: A computing platform is configurable to cause identifying a first data object type of a computing platform, the first data object type identifying first data objects being included in a data model of an application, and identifying a second data object type of the computing platform, the second data object type identifying second data objects included in the data model, and the identifying of the second data object type defining a relationship between the second data object type and the first data object type. The computing platform is also configurable to cause generating a filter rule associated with the second data object type, the filter rule defining which of the plurality of second data objects may be associated with the plurality of first data objects, the filter rule being defined based, at least in part, on at least some of a plurality of attributes of the second data object type.

Abstract: An image search method is provided. In the method, an image selection page of a messaging application is displayed. An input image for a search is determined based on an operation performed by a user on the image selection page. A search is performed for at least one output image similar to the input image based on a plurality of types of image characteristics that indicate levels of similarity between images. Each of the ay least one output image is determined to be similar to the input image based on at least one of the types of image characteristics. A search result list is generated according to the at least one output image. Further, the search result list is displayed.

Abstract: A method is provided for deriving different queries from the same filter criteria. The method includes receiving filter criteria specifying a condition for a set of first objects. The method includes generating a first query specifying a selection from the set of first objects based on the filter criteria, causing a result set of the first query to be displayed using a list-related view, and receiving a request to switch from the list-related view to a calendar-related view. The method includes in response to receiving the request, determining a foreign key for the set of first objects, the foreign key being a primary key for a set of second objects. The method includes generating a second query specifying a selection from the set of second objects based on the filter criteria and causing a result set of the second query to be displayed using the calendar-related view.

Abstract: An example method is provided for deriving different queries from the same filter criteria. The example method includes receiving filter criteria specifying a condition for a set of first objects. The method includes generating a first query specifying a selection from the set of first objects based on the filter criteria, causing a result set of the first query to be displayed using a list-related view, and receiving a request to switch from the list-related view to a calendar-related view. The method includes in response to receiving the request, determining a foreign key for the set of first objects, the foreign key being a primary key for a set of second objects. The method includes generating a second query specifying a selection from the set of second objects based on the filter criteria and causing a result set of the second query to be displayed using the calendar-related view.

Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a component. The method comprises creating a preform from a material using additive manufacturing and heat treating the preform at a heating temperature to modify the microstructure of the material. The preform is geometrically unconstrained during the step of heat treating. The method then comprises compressive forming the preform into a predefined arrangement to create the component wherein the step of compressive forming is effective to close pores and diffusively bond the material. The material may then be geometrically constrained as it is cooled, for example within the die used for compressive forming.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying a force to a specimen is provided. The apparatus comprises: an output rotatable member comprising a plurality of connection points; a plurality of rigid connection means, each comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of each connection means is pivotably coupled to one of the plurality of connection points of the output rotatable member; a plurality of guide members; and a plurality of specimen holders, each slidably mounted to one of the guide members and pivotably coupled to the second end of one of the plurality of connection means.
