This document describes a test to determine the viscosity of bitumen. The test involves heating a sample to a specified temperature and measuring the time it takes for 50mL of the sample to flow through an orifice of a tar viscometer submerged in a water bath. Lower times indicate lower viscosity. The test is run at different temperatures depending on the type and grade of bitumen. Results provide the viscosity range for various common types and grades of bitumen to specify their fluidity properties.
This document presents information on a fuel energizer device that uses magnets to alter the structure of fuel molecules and improve combustion. It discusses how incomplete combustion occurs in vehicles when the air-fuel ratio is off.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Reasons for implementing a fuel & driver management solution
Monitoring and managing fuel used by the vehicles in a By using fuel more efficiently businesses can benefit from:
fleet is vital for all professional operators as fuel often
• Lower costs
accounts for as much as 40 per cent of overall operating
costs. By implementing a management solution it is • Improved profit margins
possible to reduce fuel costs alone by up to 15 per cent,
• Reduced vehicle carbon emissions
which will result in significant carbon reductions too.
• Improved and safer performance
The use of safe and fuel efficient driving techniques as part
of a fuel management process will help to contribute to
these savings.

5. Available data?
what information can EcoTrak provide?
The information available is largely dependent on the age
and type of vehicle. EcoTrak is compatible with all HGV
and RCV manufacturers, and many parameters can also
be brought back for LCVs and cars.
Working with our customers, we continually work towards
improvements and new functionality. For example, in
response to customer feedback, we have recently
developed a number of waste specific applications of the
available telemetry—e.g. axle weights, infrared curtain,

PTO Over Revving
Some drivers incorrectly believe that by engaging the
throttle whilst PTO is activated, the PTO speed will be
increased. This is not the case, but as a result, fuel can be
unnecessarily consumed.
Excessive Throttle Use
By engaging the throttle at more than 95 per cent, exces-

results in more fuel and carbon efficient driving.

11. Introducing EEDI
Energy Efficient Driving Index
What is an EEDI?
An Energy Efficient Driving Index (EEDI) is a simple way of
establishing how fuel efficient a driver is. Using a clear
colour coded rating system, similar to that of the familiar
domestic appliance chart, it is easy to identify how a driver
is performing against selected key parameters and against
other drivers in the fleet.
The drivers’ EEDI score can be configured to reflect the
nature of the business; weighting the importance of certain
factors higher than others, dependent on the operation.
