Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for implementing mobile device roaming optimization is provided. The method includes receiving a selection for services associated with a first mobile device provider for activation during travel to a location associated with mobile device roaming attributes with respect to a mobile device of a user.

It is detected that the user and mobile device have traveled to the location and access to the blockchain structure is enabled. Roaming usage attributes of the mobile device are determined. Subsequently, operational functionality of the mobile device at the geographical location is enabled via roaming usage of a network of the second mobile device provider and second hash of consumption related information compliant with data residency is transmitted to the first mobile device provider to facilitate resolution of disputes across entities.

Abstract: Vehicles, environmental control systems, and methods for operating an environmental control system are provided. In one example, the environmental control system (ECS) includes an ECS refrigeration unit that is configured to receive ambient air and a first portion and a second portion of hot bleed air. The ECS refrigeration unit is operable to indirectly exchange heat between the first portion of the hot bleed air and the ambient air to form a partially cooled, hot air stream, and to compress, further indirect heat exchange, and expand the partially cooled, hot air stream to form a cooled and expanded air stream. A low limit valve control regulates a low limit valve to control a rate of introduction of the second portion of the hot bleed air to the cooled and expanded air stream to form a combined air stream that when exiting the ECS refrigeration unit is a sub-freezing air stream.

Abstract: Scanning Laser Epitaxy (SLE) is a layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process that allows for the fabrication of three-dimensional objects with specified microstructure through the controlled melting and re-solidification of a metal powders placed atop a base substrate. SLE can be used to repair single crystal (SX) turbine airfoils, for example, as well as the manufacture functionally graded turbine components. The SLE process is capable of creating equiaxed, directionally solidified, and SX structures. Real-time feedback control schemes based upon an offline model can be used both to create specified defect free microstructures and to improve the repeatability of the process. Control schemes can be used based upon temperature data feedback provided at high frame rate by a thermal imaging camera as well as a melt-pool viewing video microscope. A real-time control scheme can deliver the capability of creating engine ready net shape turbine components from raw powder material.
