    Abstract: A method includes storing data in a knowledge graph stored in a database. The knowledge graph is defined by nodes connected by edges, in which a root node of the knowledge graph is connected to a first version node by a first edge. The root node represents a data asset, and the first version node represents a first version of the data asset. A status indicator associated with the first version node has a first state indicating that the first version of the data asset is an editable draft version of the data asset. Responsive to receiving an instruction to publish the first version of the data asset, the state of the status indicator is changed to a second state that indicates that the first version of the data asset is a published version of the data asset.

    Abstract: A process and an apparatus are disclosed for separation of a hydrocarbon gas stream containing methane and heavier hydrocarbons and significant quantities of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The gas stream is cooled and expanded, then fractionated in a first distillation column into a first overhead vapor and a hydrocarbon liquid stream containing the majority of the carbon dioxide. The hydrocarbon liquid stream is fractionated into a hydrocarbon vapor stream and a less volatile fraction comprised of heavier hydrocarbons. The first overhead vapor is cooled, expanded, and separated into vapor and liquid streams. Both streams are cooled and expanded before feeding a second distillation column that produces a second overhead vapor that is predominantly nitrogen and a bottom liquid that is predominantly methane. The bottom liquid is vaporized and combined with the hydrocarbon vapor stream to form a volatile residue gas fraction containing the majority of the methane.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are topical compositions of 5-? reductase inhibitors, such as dutasteride or finasteride, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, or derivative thereof and the use of the compositions for the treatment of hair loss secondary to endocrine therapy in patients with breast cancer (Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia or ETIA), androgenetic alopecia (AGA), alopecia areata, and hirsutism. The topical composition is advantageous over the existing oral compositions of 5-? reductase inhibitors because the topical composition is safer and more effective. The topical formulation may allow for a slow release of the active ingredient dutasteride, better penetration at the therapeutically effective amount of dutasteride with an improved safety profile because it does not need to travel through the bloodstream to be efficacious, thereby minimizing the risk of systemic side effects.

    Abstract: The synchronous rectifier controller includes a voltage regulator to provide a control voltage to the control terminal of the rectifier switch. The synchronous rectifier controller compares the channel voltage of the rectifier switch with a threshold voltage to generate a comparison result signal. When the channel voltage is greater than the threshold voltage, the comparison result signal has a first logic value, and when the channel voltage is less than the threshold voltage, the comparison result signal has a second logic value. An inverted comparison result signal is generated according to the comparison result signal. When the channel voltage is less than the threshold voltage, the inverted comparison result signal enables a pull-up power supply to pull up the control voltage; and when the channel voltage is greater than the threshold voltage, the comparison result signal enables a pull-down power supply to pull down the control voltage.

    Abstract: Provided is a foldable display device. The display device comprises a display panel including a folding area and non-folding areas on both sides of the folding area, a back plate disposed under the display panel, a first support layer disposed under the back plate and having an opening pattern in a portion thereof corresponding to the folding area, and an impact absorbing layer disposed under the first support layer. The impact absorbing layer includes a first portion corresponding to the folding area and a second portion corresponding to the non-folding areas, and a modulus of the first portion is greater than a modulus of the second portion. Accordingly, even when a point impact is applied to the folding area, the point impact is converted into a surface impact, so that damage to the display panel or the touch panel by the point impact can be prevented more effectively. Consequently, impact resistance characteristics of the display device may be improved.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of using telematics data associated with an originating vehicle at a destination vehicle is provided. The method may include receiving telematics data associated with the originating vehicle by (1) a mobile device or (2) a smart vehicle controller associated with a driver or vehicle. The mobile device or smart vehicle controller may analyze the telematics data received to determine that (i) a travel event exists, or (ii) that a travel event message or warning is embedded within the telematics broadcast received. If the travel event exits, the method may include automatically taking a preventive or corrective action, at or via the mobile device or smart vehicle controller, which alleviates a negative impact of the travel event on the driver or vehicle to facilitate safer or more efficient vehicle travel. Insurance discounts may be provided to insureds based upon their usage of the risk mitigation or prevention functionality.
