What if the most powerful artificial intelligence models could teach their smaller, more efficient counterparts everything they know—without sacrificing performance? This isn’t science fiction; it’s ...

A new front has opened in the U.S.-China competition in artificial intelligence: open-weight, local AI models. Until recently, the most capable AI models were too big and too costly to run anywhere ...

Protection against unauthorized model distillation is an emerging issue within the longstanding theme of safeguarding IP. Existing countermeasures have primarily focused on technical solutions. This ...

The story of gasoline as a potential fuel source begins back in 1859 when Edwin Drake tapped the first crude oil well in Pennsylvania. His most immediate use for the oil was the production of kerosene ...

Refinery vacuum distillation units (VDUs) use ejector systems to establish and maintain distillation-column pressure for capturing valuable crude fractions and reducing vacuum residuum. Reliable ...

Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...
