Abstract: A radiofrequency calibration system for a direct-drive radiofrequency power supply includes a reference box that includes a reference circuit for converting a non-reference input impedance to a reference output impedance. The reference box has an input connector electrically connected to a radiofrequency output coupling of the direct-drive radiofrequency power supply. A radiofrequency power meter has a radiofrequency power input electrically connected to an output connector of the reference box. The radiofrequency power meter has an input impedance and an output impedance that substantially match the reference output impedance of the reference box. A cable has a first end electrically connected to a radiofrequency power output of the radiofrequency power meter and a second end connected to a test load that has an impedance that substantially matches the reference output impedance of the reference box. A controller is connected in data communication with a data interface of the radiofrequency power meter.

Abstract: An example storage system concurrently uses, during a transition state, two different security protocols to control access to resources of the storage system. A first security protocol controls access to the resources of the storage system for a first set of access requests that include a token identifier. A second security protocol controls access to the resources of the storage system for a second set of access requests that do not include a token identifier.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and network communications to interface among repositories of disparate datasets and computing machine-based entities configured to access datasets, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform configured to provide one or more computerized tools to deploy predictive data models based on in-situ auxiliary query commands implemented in a query, and configured to facilitate development and management of data projects by providing an interactive, project-centric workspace interface coupled to collaborative computing devices and user accounts.

Abstract: Potentially off-grid grain conditioners that can be operably connected to an aeration grain bin or silo to blow heated air through the crop to dry the crop or to blow ambient temperature air through the crop to cool it are disclosed. A fan is powered by a motor that may be mounted inside the air stream to allow the heat from the motor to be collected and forced into the airstream that is blown into the grain bin. The engine exhaust may be routed through an air exchanger to remove heat from the exhaust and direct heat into the grain bin, or the exhaust may be put into the atmosphere without capturing any of the heat, which allows the fan to operate in a cooling mode. The motor may be mounted inline or mounted to the side for a centrifugal aeration fan.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ether-linked triazole compounds, methods of making them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as NRF2 activators.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and wired and wireless network communications to provide an interface between repositories of disparate datasets and computing machine-based entities that seek access to the datasets, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform that facilitates consolidation of one or more datasets, whereby a collaborative data layer and associated logic facilitate, for example, efficient access to, and implementation of, collaborative datasets. In some examples, a system may include data ingestion controller configured to format datasets to form a first and a second atomized dataset, the second atomized dataset including the first atomized dataset and one or more other atomized datasets. The system may include a dataset query engine configured to identify a portion of a dataset relevant to a query, and to retrieve query results from at least one of different data repositories.

Abstract: Recovery times of flexible polyurethane foams are increased by treatment with a pressure sensitive adhesive. An emulsion or dispersion of the adhesive in an aqueous carrier liquid is impregnated into the foam, with subsequent removal of the carrier. This invention is of special interest when the glass transition temperature of the starting foam is 16° C. or lower.

Abstract: A humidification system can include a heater base, a chamber, and a breathing circuit. The heater base includes a heater plate positioned in a recessed region, and a heat conductive portion of the chamber is configured to contact the heater plate. The heater base includes a guard configured to control movement of the chamber into and out of the recessed region. The guard includes an anti-racking mechanism. The chamber includes an inlet port, an outlet port. A downward extension extends into the chamber from the inlet port, and a baffle is disposed at a lower end of the downward extension. A component of the breathing circuit can include a conduit hanging end cap for shipping and storage. The end cap can include a hanging component to allow the breathing circuit component to be hung from a medical stand. The system can detect when breathing circuits are connected in reverse.

Abstract: An example computer-implemented method of controlling access to a storage system includes using, in response to a request to access a resource of the storage system during a transitional state associated with a transition of the storage system to use a security protocol to control access to the storage system, a guest role to control access to the resource of the storage system when the request does not include a token identifier

Abstract: A smoking article may include a cigarette incorporated within an electrically powered aerosol generating device that acts as a holder for that cigarette. The smoking article possesses at least one form of tobacco. The smoking article also possesses a mouth-end piece that is used by the smoker to inhale components of tobacco that are generated by the action of heat upon components of the cigarette. A representative smoking article possesses an outer housing incorporating a source of electrical power (e.g., a battery), a sensing mechanism for powering the device at least during periods of draw, and a heating device (e.g., at least one electrical resistance heating element) for forming a thermally generated aerosol that incorporates components of tobacco. During use, the cigarette is positioned within the device, and after use, the used cigarette is removed from the device and replaced with another cigarette.
