Abstract: A mounting system for a roller blind includes a tension bar for mounting under pressure between first and second sides of a windows frame. The tension bar may provide both long and short adjustment of mounting system width. The tension bar extends through a hollow roller tube of the roller blind, and through a clutch mechanism of the roller blind, and is coupled to end mounting fixtures. The length of the tension bar may be adjusted as a long adjustment of mounting width. Various mechanisms may be associated with one or both of the end mounting fixtures for short adjustment of mounting width, such as a latch mechanism, wedge mechanism, spring-loaded mechanism, or turn-buckle system. End pads at the ends of the blind provide friction and absorb excess pressure. The mounting mechanism serves as a universal window blind bracket and support rod, which requires no screws or nails to install.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining cores to assign to cache hostile tasks. A computer system has a plurality of cores. Each core is comprised of a plurality of processing units and at least one cache memory shared by the processing units on the core to cache data from a memory. A task is processed to determine one of the cores on which to dispatch the task. A determination is made as to whether the processed task is classified as cache hostile. A task is classified as cache hostile when the task accesses more than a threshold number of memory address ranges in the memory. The processed task is dispatched to at least one of the cores assigned to process cache hostile tasks.

Abstract: One or more processes for recovering entrained ionic liquid from a hydrocarbon phase containing droplets of ionic liquid are described. The processes includes contacting the hydrocarbon phase containing the droplets of ionic liquid with a retaining material in a separation zone. The droplets of ionic liquid are retained by the retaining material. The ionic liquid may be recovered from the retaining material with a solvent or desorbent. The retaining material may be regenerated and the ionic liquid may be reactivated. The retaining material may be used in a wash vessel to retain or remove contaminant solids within the reactor or other vessels.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to data distribution amongst nodes in a computing system. For example, a controller device of the computing system may first identify one or more nodes in a network that are available for data processing and/or storage tasks. The controller device may next assign data processing and/or storage tasks to one or more nodes. Data processing and/or storage tasks may be efficiently (e.g., randomly and/or evenly) distributed amongst one or more core processors of the assigned nodes. Techniques described herein help to balance the utilization of computing resources and minimize the risk of lost data during reconfigurations and/or network failures.

Abstract: A method for determining a flow speed of a liquid in a fluid conduit is provided. During a signal-generating phase, an impulse signal is applied to a first ultrasonic transducer. A response signal is then received at a second ultrasonic transducer. A measuring signal is later derived from the response signal, wherein the derivation comprises reversing a signal portion with respect to time. During a measurement phase, a liquid moves with respect to the fluid conduit. The measuring signal is then applied to one of the two transducers and a response signal of the measuring signal is measured at the other transducer. A flow speed is derived from the response signal of the measuring signal.
