Abstract: A system and method of estimating a flow rate through a pipe using thermodynamics. The flow rates are estimated by using fluid properties, reservoir properties, pump properties, and heat transfer properties. Additionally, historical well data can be used to create a model that is used to estimate flow rate through a pipe.

Abstract: A leaf spring vehicle suspension system includes a chassis rail. Also included is an axle. Further included is a first stage leaf spring operatively coupled at a first end and a second end to the chassis rail, the first stage leaf spring formed of a single steel spring plate and having a first length. Yet further included is a second stage leaf spring operatively coupled to the first stage leaf spring in a stacked arrangement proximate the axle, the second stage leaf spring formed of a composite material and having a second length that is less than the first length of the first stage leaf spring.

Abstract: A cooked cereal-ingredient containing food product is modified to improve the bioavailability of iron in the product. The product includes a non-ferric EDTA source and an insoluble iron source. The combination of the non-ferric EDTA source and the insoluble iron source enhance the bioavailability of the insoluble iron source.
