Abstract: The invention relates to a process for isolation of carotenoid crystals having lutein and zeaxanthin in a weight ratio of 10:1, 5:1, or 1:1 respectively. The process comprises contacting a plant source rich in lutein with hexane and extracting at a temperature of 40°C to 60°C to obtain an oleoresin rich in lutein; contacting a plant source rich in zeaxanthin with hexane and extracting at a temperature of 40°C to 60°C to obtain an oleoresin rich in zeaxanthin. The oleoresin rich in lutein and the oleoresin rich in zeaxanthin are mixed separately in weight ratios ranging from 80:20(w/w) to 90:10(w/w) or 70:30(w/w) to 30:70(w/w) or 10:90(w/w) to 20:80(w/w), respectively, and homogenized to obtain a mixed oleoresin. The mixed oleoresin is hydrolyzed with an alcoholic alkali at a temperature of 70°C to 80°C to obtain a reaction mixture. The carotenoid crystals are precipitated by adding hot water to the reaction mixture to form a precipitate. Carotenoid crystals having lutein and zeaxanthin in a weight ratio of 10:1 or 5:1 or 1:1, respectively, are obtained by filtering, washing, and drying the precipitate.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate efficiently indicating parameter(s) associated with a base station utilizing synchronization signals in a wireless communication environment. For instance, relative locations of a PSC and a SSC in a radio frame can be a function of a parameter. Further, a PSC sequence utilized to generate PSCs can be selected based upon a parameter. Moreover, inclusion or exclusion of PSCs from a radio frame can be a function of a parameter. Additionally or alternatively, pseudo random sequence mappings (e.g., to cell IDs, tone locations) can be a function of a parameter. Example parameters can be whether the base station is part of a TDD or a FDD system, whether the radio frame employs FS1 or FS2, whether the base station is associated with a macro or a femto cell, or whether the base station is associated with a unicast or a multicast system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a limiting apparatus for short circuits in an alternating-current low-voltage installation having one or more supply sections (10, 100), which is or are in the form of cable or busbar, with loads and/or motor drives with power feed points at which power feed appliances (6, 60), which are protected by feed switches (26, 26'), are arranged.  In the event of a short-circuit fault, the supply sections (10, 100) can be disconnected at a disconnection point (30) thus resulting in two partial sections (10, 10", 100', 100") in each of which there is at least one power feed appliance (6, 60). The essence of the invention is that a three-phase quick-action short-circuiting means (40) is incorporated in the disconnection point (30) and a respective circuit breaker (32', 32") is connected in series with the quick-action short-circuiting means (40) toward each supply section (10, 100), wherein the disconnection times (selectivity) of the feed switches (26, 26') which precede the power feed appliances (6, 60) are connected downstream from the circuit breakers (32', 32"). Each section element (10, 10", 100', 100") is associated with a respective current detection apparatus (42) which, when a short circuit (80) occurs, transmits a tripping signal (36') to the quick-action short-circuiting means (40), which then carries out short-circuit switching at the disconnection point (30).

Abstract: A Markov decision process-based support tool for reservoir development planning can comprise a source of input data, an optimization model, a high fidelity model for simulating the reservoir, and one or more solution routines interfacing with the optimization model. The optimization model can consider unknown parameters having uncertainties directly within the optimization model. The model incorporates the flexibility that a decision-maker has in the real world and allows the decision-maker to adjust the decisions based on new information. The model can systematically address uncertain data, for example comprehensively or even taking all uncertain data into account. Accordingly, the optimization model can provide flexible or robust solutions that remain feasible over an uncertainty space. Once the reservoir model is optimized, final development plans may be generated.

Abstract: A tool for threading a rope through a distant eye or around an object out of reach, such as for elevating tarps into trees, or placing fall protection lines, or securing a distant object. The tool has two curved arms that extend out from the body in unison and converge at a point where the end of the rope is passed from one arm to the other. The arms are then retracted back into the body, pulling the rope through the eye or around the object. The arms are extended by pulling one control line and retracted by pulling a second control line. The tool is typically mounted on the end of a pole, although other mountings are possible. The shape of the tool enables ropes to be threaded through a large number of eye configurations and around objects of varying sizes, even if there are obstructions adjacent the eye.
