Abstract: A method of increasing organic carbon in a soil is disclosed. The method includes inoculating the soil and/or a plant growing in the soil with one or more fungal strains from at least one genus selected from the group consisting of Acrocalymma, Clonostachys, Leptodontidium, Periconia, Phaeosphaeria, Thozetella, Trichoderma, and a combination thereof, wherein the one or more fungal strains are in an amount effective to increase organic carbon in the soil compared to a non-inoculated control soil. Also disclosed is a method of enhancing plant growth, comprising: applying to a plant, a plant part, or the locus surrounding the plant with one or more fungal strains from at least one genus selected from the group consisting of Acrocalymma, Clonostachys, Leptodontidium, Periconia, Phaeosphaeria, Thozetella, Trichoderma, and a combination thereof in an amount effective to enhance the growth of the plant as compared to an untreated control plant.

Abstract: Various implementations include audio devices and methods for noise reduction control in wearable audio devices and/or vehicle audio systems. Certain implementations include a non-occluding wearable audio device having: at least one electro-acoustic transducer; at least one microphone; and a control system coupled with the at least one electro-acoustic transducer and the at least one microphone, the control system programmed to: adjust an active noise reduction (ANR) setting for audio output to the at least one electro-acoustic transducer in response to detecting use of the non-occluding wearable audio device in a vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to feed compositions that can modify the feeding behavior of animals. Supplements can be added to no or low roughage rations that improve the performance of animals. In particular, the addition of calcium chloride to a low or no roughage ration can increase the number of feedings but decrease the amount of feeding per meal. This can result in promoting enhances feed conversion and better cost of feed to weight gain.

Abstract: A heat exchanger with a monocoque structure transfers heat between a first fluid and a second fluid. The heat exchanger has a plurality of tubes through which the first fluid may flow in a direction, each of the plurality of tubes has a first mouth end, an opposing second mouth end and a waist region between the first mouth end and the second mouth end. The heat exchanger also has one or more intercomlected fluid challllels through which the second fluid may flow. the one or more fluid chamlels lay generally in a plane, the plurality of tubes and the one or more fluid channels interleave such that heat may be transferred between the plurality of tubes and the one or more fluid challllels, and the direction of flow of the first fluid is generally perpendicular to the plane of the one or more fluid chamlels.

Abstract: An acoustic device with an open audio device structure that is configured to be carried on the head or upper torso of a user, a housing carried by the open audio device structure, the housing having opposed first and second ends, a flat diaphragm in the housing and comprising a front face and a rear face, the diaphragm configured to radiate front acoustic radiation from its front face and rear acoustic radiation from its rear face, wherein the front and rear acoustic radiations are out of phase, structure that supports the diaphragm such that the diaphragm can move relative to the housing, a primary magnet adjacent to the rear face of the diaphragm, a magnetic circuit that defines a path for magnetic flux of the primary magnet, a voice coil that is exposed to the magnetic flux and is configured to move the diaphragm up and down along a radiation axis that is normal to the front face of the diaphragm, and first and second sound-emitting outlets in the housing, wherein the first sound-emitting outlet is in or p

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented system for security monitoring of Member accounts in a cloud environment. The Member accounts are provided as instances of cloud services in one or more monitored clouds by one or more cloud service providers. The system is programmed to automatically deploy software agents to the Member accounts. The software agents are configured to monitor activities in the Member accounts and to push security and operations data to a SIEM platform. The security and operations data may comprise alerts and activity logs for the Member accounts, public internet protocol (IP) addresses used by the Member accounts, and identifying information for individuals and information technology (IT) assets associated with the Member accounts. The system includes a user interface to define customized alerts based on the security and operations data, and the system generates and sends the customized alerts to a system administrator or security analyst.
