Abstract: A process for the upgrading of hydrocarbon streams, i.e., processing any hydrocarbon feed streams rich in benzene and sulphur compounds. The process for simultaneous hydrodesulfurization and benzene conversion to higher alkylated aromatic molecules (C7 to C10 aromatics), without need of prior treatment like distillation, or sulfur removal. The hydrocarbon feed streams are processed over sulfided metal catalyst impregnated on acid support simultaneously desulfurizes and alkylates the benzene molecules.

Abstract: A processor may identify that an external power source has begun powering a computing device. The processor may identify computational data in a volatile memory of the computing device. The processor may determine that the external power source does not have sufficient energy capacity to provide the computing device enough power to process the computational data at a first I/O throttling rate. The processor may increase the first I/O throttling rate to a second I/O throttling rate. The second I/O throttling rate may allow the computational data to be processed by the computing device with the energy capacity of the external power source.

Abstract: A first backend housekeeping operation of a backend storage system is detected by a storage virtualization system. The first backend housekeeping operation is related to a first backend storage portion of the backend storage system. The storage virtualization system transfers data to the backend storage system for storage and retrieval. The storage virtualization system issues commands to the backend storage system. A first virtualized operation related to a first virtualized storage portion of the storage virtualization system is identified. A storage overhead condition is determined based on the first backend storage portion and based on the first virtualized operation. A storage corrective action is performed based on the storage overhead condition. The storage corrective action prevents the potential performance of one or more additional backend housekeeping operations.

Abstract: Methods for snapshot isolation query transactions in distributed systems are performed by systems and devices. Distributed executions of queries are performed in a processing system according to an isolation level protocol for data management and data versioning across one or more data sets, one or more compute pools, etc., within a logical server via a single transaction manager that oversees the isolation semantics and data versioning. Read transactions of queries are performed lock-free via the isolation semantics, and instant rollbacks, point-in-time queries, single-phase commits in the distributed systems are also provided. Abort and clean up operations are performed based on a distributed abort protocol and a determined oldest active transaction for the system in which the single transaction manager does not track read-only transactions, and client nodes do not maintain commit tables for transactions.

Abstract: An audio processing system is configured to process an audio signal representing sound waves originating from at least one vehicle system disposed on a vehicle. The audio processing system includes a controller configured to receive the audio signal from a microphone.

Abstract: In an approach for ensuring data protection and control in a distributed hybrid multi-cloud environment with Kubernetes clusters, a processor determines whether a respective quorum of the set of clusters are online. A processor, responsive to determining that a respective quorum of the set of clusters are online, determines whether one or more applications of the cluster are running on another cluster of the set of clusters. A processor, responsive to determining the one or more applications of the cluster are not running on another cluster of the set of clusters, determines whether the cluster is designated as a highest priority cluster. A processor, responsive to determining the cluster is designated as the highest priority cluster, determines whether a main cluster of the set of clusters is online. A processor, responsive to determining the main cluster is online, scales a new custom resource to one (1).

Abstract: A method for preparing for a failure in a multi-site data replication environment is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes detecting, at a primary site of a multi-site data replication environment, conditions indicating that a failure is impending at the primary site. The method further determines a probability that the impending failure will occur. The method sends, from the primary site to at least one other site of the multi-site data replication environment, a message informing the at least one other site of the impending failure and its probability. In the event the probability has reached a threshold, the method prepares the at least one other site for the impending failure before it actually occurs. A corresponding computer program product and system are also disclosed.
