Abstract: Method for rapidly computing updates to frequency-domain seismic wave fields by utilizing a matrix perturbation approach. The method speeds up model (e.g., velocity) parameter estimation by iterative inversion of measured seismic data. The method applies to the line search where the optimal size of the model update is estimated by testing different size updates to see which one generates the minimum objective function. By treating the model update as a perturbation, perturbation theory is used to relate the model perturbation to a corresponding wavefield perturbation. Thus, the Helmholtz equation is solved only once per iteration cycle.

Abstract: A system is provided for controlling a temperature of oil in a power-plant operable to propel a vehicle. The system includes a heat-exchanger arranged relative to the power-plant. The heat-exchanger is configured to receive the oil from the power-plant, modify the temperature of the oil, and return the modified temperature oil to the power-plant. The system also includes a valve configured to direct the oil through the heat-exchanger during a warm-up operation of the power-plant such that the temperature of the oil is increased. The valve is also configured to direct the oil to bypass the heat-exchanger during a low load operation of the power-plant such that the temperature of the oil is increased. Additionally, the valve is configured to direct the oil through the heat-exchanger during a high load operation of the power-plant such that the temperature of the oil is decreased.

Abstract: A battery assembly includes a housing defining a plenum having an inlet, and a row of battery cells disposed within the housing. Each adjacent pair of the cells defines a gap in fluid communication with the plenum. The gaps proximate to the inlet are narrower than the gaps distant from the inlet to promote generally equalized flow of fluid through the gaps.

Abstract: Methods, systems and compositions for recovery of regenerant ions from spent regenerant solution by utilization of electrodialysis are provided. For example, in certain aspects methods for separating spent regenerant using an electrodialysis system comprising selective membranes are described. Furthermore, the invention provides methods for treating a friable solid ion-removal material to prevent fragmentation during regeneration.

Abstract: Provided are techniques to enable, using broadcast encryption, a device to locate a service offered by a server with the knowledge that the service offered by the server is a trusted service. A signed enhanced Management Key Block (eMKB) includes a trusted service locator (TSL) that includes one or more records, or “trusted service data records” (TSDRs), each identifying a particular service and a corresponding location of the service is generated and transmitted over a network. Devices authorized to access a particular service parse the eMKB for the end point of the service, connect to the appropriate server and transmit a request.
