Abstract: An HHO gas stream for use in an internal combustion engine is heated by heat exchange from with an exhaust gas stream from the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: Timing of HHO gas injection into a 4-stroke engine is optimized based on engine operating parameters to improve fuel economy.

Abstract: Injection of HHO gas to plural injection points about an internal combustion engine is controlled based on combustion timing parameters.

Abstract: Safety of vehicles employing an electrolysis generator is improved by a rollover abatement system.

Abstract: A dual-chamber electrolysis vessel safely stores HHO gas for use by an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: An ultra low quantity of HHO gas is introduced to an internal combustion engine to improve fuel economy and/or reduce engine-out emissions, for example in a vehicle or generator.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and electronic devices for performing playback of streamed media, including uploading an associated second media content item while performing playback of a first media content item. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, when performing playback of a first media content item, a message is sent to a computer server system, to return information that a service for sharing a related second media content item is selectable. The information is displayed at a user interface as a visual array of tiles, wherein each tile corresponds to a respective service. When a service is requested, a service data is processed, and the second media content item captured and uploaded with the requested service. By enabling a user to obtain media content items associated to the currently playbacked media content item, the user may find associated media content items, which he/she normally should not have been aware of.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are provided for implementing track following using signal asymmetry metrics monitored during read back in hard disk drives (HDDs). Signal asymmetry metrics monitored during read back are used together with a position error signal (PES) to correct and guide the position of a read sensor with respect to a written track in the HDD.

Abstract: A camera device with a dynamic touch screen shutter, and method therefor, are provided. The camera device comprises: a sensor for providing an electronic signal corresponding to an image; a touchscreen having a region for displaying the image and receiving touch input, the region having at least one subregion; and a processor enabled to: display the image in the region; execute a shutter command to store the image in a memory when the touch input is received in the region but not in the at least one subregion when the at least one subregion contains at least one of an icon and a graphical control, the graphical control for controlling the camera device; change displaying of at least one of the icon and the graphical control; and, in response, dynamically change a position of the at least one subregion within the region.

Abstract: A device and method for automatic notification customization is provided. The device includes: a controller; a notification device; and a memory storing: notification data; and identification data, the identification data comprising one or more of: an identifier of the device; and an account identifier identifying an account associated with the device. The controller: alters the notification data using the identification data to generate altered notification data; determines that a notification of an event is to occur at the device; and controls the notification device to provide the altered notification.

Abstract: A method and data storage system receives a confidence vector for a non-binary symbol value read from a memory cell of a non-volatile memory device, where the confidence vector includes a first plurality of confidence values and transforms the first plurality of confidence values into a first plurality of likelihood values using a forward tensor-product transform. A respective binary message passing decoding operation is performed with each of the first plurality of likelihood values to generate a second plurality of likelihood values, and the second plurality of likelihood values are transformed into a second plurality of confidence values of the confidence vector using a reverse tensor-product transform.

Abstract: Syrup produced in a lignocellulosic biomass fermentation process is used as a binder for soil conditioning materials to make an agricultural composition that is easily handled and applied. The syrup binds powdery soil conditioning materials such as lime and gypsum to form pellets or granules.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a heat assisted magnetic recording system includes a magnetic recording medium comprising a magnetic recording layer, where the magnetic recording layer includes a plurality of physical bits. Each physical bit has a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and one of at least three magnetic states, where the at least three magnetic states include a +1 magnetic state, a 0 magnetic state, and a ?1 magnetic state.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for generating a set of recommended media works based on an identified seed media work. The seed media work is used to identify a set of co-occurring media works, which are defined as media works that have been intentionally interacted with within a predetermined time window as the seed media work by a single user. After the co-occurrence set is created, it is ranked and filtered. Media works identified in the co-occurrence set may then be selected based on their ranking.

Abstract: A heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) disk drive has a disk with at least two independent data layers (RL1 and RL2), each data layer storing an independent data stream. At a high laser power both RL1 and RL2 are heated to above their respective Curie temperatures and a first data stream is recorded in both RL1 and RL2. At a lower laser power only upper RL2 is heated to above its Curie temperature and a second data stream is recorded only in RL2. The data layers are separated by a nonmagnetic spacer layer (SL) that prevents lower RL1 from being heated to above its Curie temperature at low laser power. The first and second data streams are typically asynchronous. Recorded data is read back from both data streams simultaneously as a composite readback signal. A joint Viterbi detector detects the asynchronous data streams simultaneously from the composite readback signal.
