  • Publication number: 20240076498
    Abstract: Asphalt binders and related methods and uses are provided. In some embodiments, the asphalt binder is produced by: providing a high-asphaltene content petroleum feedstock; performing solvent deasphalting on the feedstock to produce a partially deasphalted oil and an asphaltene-rich residue; and collecting the partially deasphalted oil (DAO). The high-asphaltene content petroleum feedstock may comprise residue from vacuum distillation or flash separation of extra heavy oil or bitumen, or recycled asphalt. The DAO may itself be used as the asphalt binder or may be a component of a blend with the original feedstock. Asphalt binders may also be produced by blending residue and heavy distillate produced from vacuum distillation or flash separation, with DAO or the asphaltene-rich residue of the solvent deasphalting process. The disclosed methods allow for production of asphalt binders of a wide variety of performance grades.

  • Patent number: 11922157
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for managing communication connections in a virtualization environment includes a plurality of host machines implementing a virtualization environment, wherein each of the host machines includes a hypervisor, at least one user virtual machine (user VM), and a distributed file server that includes file server virtual machines (FSVMs) and associated local storage devices. Each FSVM and associated local storage device are local to a corresponding one of the host machines, and the FSVMs conduct I/O transactions with their associated local storage devices based on I/O requests received from the user VMs. Each of the user VMs on each host machine sends each of its representative I/O requests to an FSVM that is selected by one or more of the FSVMs for each I/O request based on a lookup table that maps a storage item referenced by the I/O request to I/O the selected one of the FSVMs.

  • Publication number: 20240024829
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques to mimic turbulent-enhanced reactivity under confinement by the addition of dilute high molecular weight polymers. Micro-scale imaging within a transparent porous medium reveals an elastic instability (EI), which drives chaotic fluctuations that stretch and fold solute blobs exponentially in time analogous to turbulent Batchelor mixing, despite the low Re. A reduction in the required mixing length can be observed, suggesting a cooperation between the elastic instability and the dispersion inherent to the disordered 3D porous media—which can be modeled as additive independent mixing rates, representing a dramatic conceptual simplification. The disclosed enhanced transport of solutes circumvents the traditional trade-off between throughput and reactor length, allowing a simultaneous large reduction in length and increases in throughput.

  • Publication number: 20220093211
    Abstract: Detecting cross-contamination between test samples used for determining cancer in a subject is beneficial. To detect cross-contamination, test sequences including at least one single nucleotide polymorphism are prepared using genome sequencing techniques. Some of the test sequences can be filtered to improve accuracy and precision. A prior contamination probability for each test sequence is determined based on a minor allele frequency. A contamination model including a likelihood test is applied to a test sequence. The likelihood test obtains a current contamination probability representing the likelihood that the test sample is contaminated. The contamination model can also determine a likelihood that the sample includes loss of heterozygosity representing the likelihood that the test sequence is contaminated. Test samples that are contaminated are removed. A source for the contaminated test sample can be found by comparing contaminated test sequences to other test sequences.

  • Publication number: 20210178403
    Abstract: The invention features devices and methods for the deterministic separation of particles. Exemplary methods include the enrichment of a sample in a desired particle or the alteration of a desired particle in the device. The devices and methods are advantageously employed to enrich for rare cells, e.g., fetal cells, present in a sample, e.g., maternal blood and rare cell components, e.g., fetal cell nuclei. The invention further provides a method for preferentially lysing cells of interest in a sample, e.g., to extract clinical information from a cellular component, e.g., a nucleus, of the cells of interest. In general, the method employs differential lysis between the cells of interest and other cells (e.g., other nucleated cells) in the sample.

  • Patent number: 10757955
    Abstract: Included in the present invention are a method for preparing tealeaf extracts having different tastes, and a beverage prepared using extracts made by the method. The method involves adding tealeaves to an extraction column, performing continuous extraction using water at 5° C.-140° C. at a flow rate of 20-200 mL/min, collecting liquid extracts in sections, and drawing a relative taste intensity curve; and according to a taste variation shown in the relative taste intensity curve, recombining collected liquid extracts of different sections. The method of the present invention can produce tealeaf extracts having high grade taste and high concentration without the need for a concentration step, the extraction yield is high, and the sensory attributes of the tealeaf extracts can be rebalanced in a very flexible manner, so as to obtain beverages of different tastes.
