Abstract: A remote hydrocarbon processing system comprising a gas compressor skid, gas processing skid, electric power generation skid, liquid storage tank, blending skid, and crude oil source, are fluid flow interconnected and located proximate to a producing well. Produced gases are delivered from the well to the gas compressor skid. Compressed natural gas is delivered to the gas processing skid where it is thermally separated to generate a processed gas stream and a processed liquid stream. The processed gas stream is delivered to the electric power generation skid and burned to generate electricity that may be delivered to an electric power transmission line. The processed liquid stream is delivered to the liquid storage tank. Crude oil from the crude oil source and processed liquid stream from the liquid storage tank are delivered to the Blending skid and blended into a lower viscosity, higher API gravity transportable crude oil.

Abstract: A hair care appliance is provided. The hair care appliance includes a handle and a body coupled to the handle via a rotational hinge joint. The body can be movable via the rotational hinge joint between a straight configuration in which the body is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the handle and a bent configuration in which the body extends along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the handle. A fluid flow path extends between an inlet in the handle and an outlet in the body. The hair care appliance can be operated with minimal loss of fluid flow in either the straight configuration and the bent configuration. The hair care appliance includes a fan assembly in the handle and a heater assembly in the body that are positioned to create a balanced center of mass of the hair care appliance when operated by a user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides and cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigens that include at least one introduced amino acid mutation relative to the amino acid sequence of the wild-type HCMV glycoprotein B (gB). In some embodiments, the polypeptide is stabilized in a conformation alternative to the gB postfusion conformation. Also disclosed are compositions including the polypeptides and uses thereof.

Abstract: A control system for a vehicle may include a plurality of vehicle subsystems associated with respective different dynamic vehicle control functions and a plurality of subsystem controllers associated with respective ones of the vehicle subsystems. The subsystem controllers may be configured to control actuators associated with the respective different dynamic vehicle control functions to change an operational state of components of the vehicle subsystems based on respective configuration settings. The system further includes an attribute configuration module operably coupled to the subsystem controllers. The attribute configuration module may include processing circuitry configured to save current configuration settings as a saved configuration responsive to a first actuation of a configuration mode actuator and, after an on/off cycle of the vehicle, instruct the subsystem controllers to implement the saved configuration responsive to a second actuation of the configuration mode actuator.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to interactive graphical display. A request is processed by a generative system to generate multiple hypotheses of an output in response to the request, a primary hypothesis of the multiple hypotheses having a highest confidence for the output, multiple secondary hypotheses of the multiple hypotheses having a lower confidence than the highest confidence. At least one region of divergence is determined from the primary hypothesis by the multiple secondary hypotheses, the at least one region of divergence having alternatives in the multiple secondary hypotheses, the alternatives in the multiple secondary hypotheses differing from the primary hypothesis. A graphical user interface displays the at least one region of divergence in the primary hypothesis and alternatives in the multiple secondary hypotheses for the at least one region of divergence, the alternatives and primary hypothesis for the at least one region of divergence being displayed as selectable options for a user.

Abstract: A method of determining the location and quantity of mitochondrial fission, fusion and depolarisation events that occur in a cell is provided. Using a three-dimensional time lapse image sequence of a cell, the method identifies which of the mitochondria in a cell had depolarised or undergone fission or fusion in the interval between the acquisition of the earlier and later images, indicates the locations of the fission, fusion and depolarisation events, and generates a count of the number of mitochondrial fission, fusion and/or depolarisation events. The method can be used to diagnose a disease or condition associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, such as neurodegenerative disease, cancer or ischaemic heart disease. The method can further be used to screen a compound or composition for use in preventing or treating a disease or condition associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. The method can be computer-implemented, and a computer program product is provided.

Abstract: Embodiments included herein generally relate to measuring a latency of a playback device. For example, a method includes: determining a first latency of a playback device; determining a second latency of the playback device; comparing the second latency to the first latency to determine whether an event occurred at the playback device; and in response to detecting a latency change between the second latency and the first latency indicating the occurrence of the event, adjusting a timing of a data stream provided to the playback device based on the latency change.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for index-side synonym expansion. One method includes obtaining a token sequence for a resource and indexing a token in the token sequence. The indexing includes applying one or more stemming rules to the particular token to generate a stemmed form of the token, obtaining a variant of the stemmed form of the token, and storing data associating the resource with both the token and the variant as index terms for the resource in a search engine index.
