Abstract: The process produces a diesel stream from a biorenewable feedstock by hydrotreating to remove heteroatoms and saturate olefins. The recycle gas is recycled to the hydrotreating reactor without removing hydrogen sulfide, which is needed in the biorenewable feed to keep the hydrotreating catalyst active. A purification unit can be utilized on a purge gas stream to purify the gas and improve hydrogen concentration in the recycle gas when added to the recycle gas.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display. The display may include an array of pixels formed on a silicon substrate. Display driver circuitry may be formed in a display driver integrated circuit that outputs display data and other control signals for operating the display. An interposer structure may be included in the electronic device. The interposer structure may be attached to the silicon display substrate and may only partially overlap the silicon display substrate. The display driver integrated circuit may be attached to the interposer structure and provide signals to the display pixels through the interposer structure. In another possible arrangement, the display driver integrated circuit may bridge a gap between the silicon display substrate and the flexible printed circuit. The display driver integrated circuit only partially overlaps the silicon display substrate in this arrangement.

Abstract: Systems and methods for accelerated online adaptive radiation therapy (“ART”) are described. The improvements to online ART are generally provided based on the use of textural analysis and machine learning algorithms implemented with a hardware processor and a memory. The described systems and methods enable more efficient and accurate online adaptive replanning (“OLAR”), which can also be implemented in clinically acceptable timeframes. For example, OLAR can be reduced from taking 10-30 minutes down to 5-10 minutes.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions of matter showing that catalytic autoxidation can be used to generate aromatic monomers from C—C linked dimers and oligomers derived from lignin. This is demonstrated by acetylating phenol-rich RCF oil and then conducting aerobic oxidation of the oligomeric fraction of poplar RCF oil with a Co/Mn/Br catalyst mixture in acetic acid. This reaction yields a collection of oxygenated aromatic monomers that represent a 17% increase in monomer yield compared to the RCF process alone.

Abstract: Described herein is a hierarchical learning-based method, called HierPINN-EM, to solve the Korhonen equations for multi segment interconnects for fast EM failure analysis. HierPINN-EM split the physics laws into two levels and solve the PDE equations step by step. The lower level employs supervised learning to train a DNN model which takes parameterized neurons as inputs and serves as a universal parameterized EM stress solver for single segment wires. The upper level employs physics-informed loss function to train a separate DNN model at the boundaries of all wire segments to enforce the stress and atom flux continuities at internal junctions in interconnects.

Abstract: Head-mountable devices can include connection and engagement mechanisms that facilitate operation of a head-mountable device with an accessory device. Such connections can provide both mechanical engagement and operable communication between the connected devices. A variable lock of the head-mountable device can distinguish between low-impulse and high-impulse forces applied to one or more connection regions. In the event of a low-impulse force, the variable lock can secure segments of a head engager together so the head-mountable device can remain on the head of the user. Optionally, the accessory device can be disconnected from the head-mountable device. In the event of a high-impulse force, the variable lock can allow segments of the head engager to separate so the head-mountable device can be released from the head of the user.

Abstract: A method of generating a flight plan for an airborne vehicle. The method includes identifying a region of operation of the airborne vehicle and identifying high-intensity radiated field (HIRF) sources associated with the region of operation of the airborne vehicle. A radiation tolerance level is obtained for the airborne vehicle for determining a HIRF stand-off zone for each of the HIRF sources based on the radiation tolerance level of the airborne vehicle and a potential radiated field generated by the HIRF source. The flight plan is generated for the airborne vehicle based on the HIRF stand-off zones within the region of operation.

Abstract: A method of preparing a nanocomposite fiber comprising suspending carbon powder comprising graphene flakes in a carrier fluid. A solid polymer material is added to the carrier fluid having the carbon powder suspended therein to create a mixture. The mixture is heated and the solid polymer material is at least partially dissolved within the carrier fluid having the carbon powder suspended therein. The carrier fluid is removed from the mixture, forming the polymer into a fiber carrying the graphene flakes.

Abstract: A speaker includes a housing having walls that define a cavity and a diaphragm covering the cavity and configured to vibrate under application of a magnetic field. The vibration produces sound waves. The walls are configured to deform under bending stress. The speaker is configured produce the sound waves both in an undeformed state and in a deformed state. Another speaker includes a flexible layer, a sensor configured to detect a curvature of the flexible layer, and a transducer disposed on and configured to vibrate the flexible layer. The vibrations of the flexible layer generate sound waves and output generated by the transducer is based on the curvature of the flexible layer.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for User Interfaces (UI) for driver situational awareness are provided. An exemplified UI may output information to give drivers a greater awareness of potential collision threats, without annoying or desensitizing them using frequent or false alarms. Rather than output strong warnings to elicit an emergency driver response, the UI generates subtle early-warning indicators presented as UI elements showing markers to each potential threat relative to a vehicle path. Each object reported in the UI elements indicate information as subtle cues (e.g., audible, visual, and/or haptic feedback) that are weaker magnitude than signals output for forward-collision or other emergency warnings. This subtlety in information presented in the UI is effective at informing a driver, without alarming or distracting them. A driver that is more aware of potential dangers may drive with greater confidence and without fear of threats hidden from their view.

Abstract: A user may provide finger press input to a surface such as a touch sensitive input surface. The input surface may be formed from a two-dimensional touch sensor overlapping a display of an electronic device. The electronic device and an associated device such as a finger-mounted device may form a system for gathering the finger press input from the user. A sensor may be used in monitoring when the finger-mounted device and a user's finger in the device approach the input surface of the electronic device. In response to detection of the finger near the input surface, actuators in the finger-mounted device may squeeze the finger inwardly to cause a finger pad on the finger to protrude outwardly towards the input surface, thereby softening impact between the finger and the input surface. The electronic device may also have an array of components to repel the finger-mounted device.
