Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting operating parameters of at least one pipelined software asset. Within a pipelined environment, an agent software asset is inserted immediately preceding a software asset whose operating parameters are to be adjusted. The agent software asset receives data and/or data sets from a user and such data and data sets are inserted/used by the software asset. The agent software asset also allows for a reporting of the output of other software assets to thereby provide users with intermediate outputs from the pipelined environment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compound of Formula I: wherein R1 is H, halogen, C1-C3 alkyl, or C1-C3 alkoxy; R2 is H or halogen; and X is O, OCH2, or CH2, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the compound of Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is useful for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus nephritis.

Abstract: This disclosure describes processes for using a single cellulosic feedstock or a combination of two or more different cellulosic feedstocks with a starch component to produce a fermented product. The process includes separating the components of the cellulosic feedstocks with fractionation, pretreating a component with wet fractionation with chemicals, hydrolysis and fermenta-tion of the pretreated feedstock(s) to produce cellulosic biofuel. The process may include combining the cellulosic feedstock(s) with other components to a cook and/or a fermentation process, distilling and dehydrating the combined components to produce the biofuel. The process may also include producing a whole stillage stream from the feedstock(s) and mechanically processing the whole stillage stream to produce a high-value protein animal feed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are seed and plants of the maize hybrid variety designated ICH39956, as well as cells and cell cultures derived therefrom. Further disclosed are methods for producing seed, commodity products, and derived progeny plants from the maize hybrid variety designated ICH39956.

Abstract: A processor may query a database of media compositions with a query specifying at least one attribute from among a plurality of attributes of media compositions. In response to the querying, the processor may receive a returned plurality of the media compositions having the at least one attribute. The processor may arrange the returned plurality of the media compositions into a sequence according to at least one of the plurality of attributes. The processor may render the sequence into a metacomposition, which may be displayed by at least one display device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are seed and plants of the maize hybrid variety designated ICH19849, as well as cells and cell cultures derived therefrom. Further disclosed are methods for producing seed, commodity products, and derived progeny plants from the maize hybrid variety designated ICH19849.

Abstract: The apparatuses described herein relate to preparation of a meat product. Apparatuses, systems comprising the apparatuses, and methods of making and use the systems and apparatuses are described herein. These are useful for controlling one or more of growth on and separation of a meat product from an enclosed substrate. The apparatuses and systems are configured to receive fluid and grow the meat product and/or separate the meat product from the substrate in a scalable manner.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for administering and/or managing an employer sponsored retirement plan such as a 401(k) plan can include a host system that supports a graphical user interface (GUI) that is displayable to a user communicating with the host system via a user computer device. The use can manipulate one or more input devices connected to the user's computer device for facilitating the communication of data to the host system and updating of displays of the GUI. The GUI can be configured to permit employee participants to enroll and manage their retirement accounts. The GUI can also be configured for employers that sponsor a retirement plan to communicate with the host system to manage their retirement plan and oversee administration of the plan. Displays of the GUI can be generated and updated by a user computer device display based on communications with the host system.

Abstract: A vertical electric machine comprises a specific structure that defines a double box construction for normalizing the vertical electric machine structure such that its two reed critical frequencies occur at a same frequency. The double box construction includes a first stiffness member having a first side wall in a lateral “X” direction and a second stiffness member having a second side wall in a lateral “Y” direction such that the second side wall is rotated 90 degrees relative to the first side wall. The first stiffness member and the second stiffness member are configured to produce equal stiffness in both lateral directions “X” and “Y”.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for metadata management for enabling automated switchover. An initial quorum vote may be performed before a node executes an operation associated with metadata comprising operational information and switchover information. After the initial quorum vote is performed, the node executes the operation upon one or more mailbox storage devices. Once the operation has executed, a final quorum vote is performed. The final quorum vote and the initial quorum vote are compared to determine whether the operation is to be designated as successful or failed, and whether any additional actions are to be performed.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media are provided for entering a fail safe mode for a controlled agricultural environment (CAE). The CAE includes movable receptacle supports for holding plants. In response to determining a fault condition in the CAE or in environmental conditioning equipment for the CAE, operation of the CAE or the environmental conditioning equipment is controlled to effect a change from a standard operating mode to a fail safe mode. The standard operating mode corresponds to desired environmental conditions in the CAE and the fail safe mode corresponds to non-ideal environmental conditions.
