Abstract: A UV/LED printing and finishing process is disclosed. The printing and finishing process improves the manner in which printing, permanent bonding, and finishing is performed on products containing low surface energy plastics, such as high-density polyethylene furniture. The process includes abrading a surface of the low surface energy plastic and then applying a corona or plasma treatment to the surface of the low surface energy plastic to increase the adhesion capabilities of the surface. Once the surface has been treater, the process may include printing a polymer ink onto the surface of the low surface energy plastic, such as by utilizing a UV/LED flatbed or hybrid printer. The process may also include curing the printed surface of the low surface energy plastic, and then finally applying a clear inorganic top coating onto the printed surface to protect the UV/LED cured polymer ink.

Abstract: The present disclosure is a system and method for virtualized energy metering.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a rack power distribution unit (RPDU) that automatically and safely switches power to one or more receptacles. The RPDU includes one or more processors utilizing control algorithms that manage bistable relays so that in-rush current is minimized upon manual connection/disconnection of power to a load device. In particular, relay contact status (open/closed) is identified based on changes in RMS or peak voltage influenced by the load impedance. The RPDU is also configured to predict timings for voltage zero-crossing events. In this manner, and based on the determination of relay contact status and voltage zero-crossing prediction, open relay contacts are identified and safely closed at voltage zero-crossing.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for detecting a specific voltage phase, from a multiphase voltage source, and a specific outlet of an intelligent power strip, that is associated with a residual current flow. The method accomplishes this by using a system that employs a statistical time series analysis using a Pearson's correlation coefficient calculation to measure the linear dependence between the discretely sampled residual current waveform and each phase and outlet's discretely sampled current waveforms, in turn. A residual current as low as 1 mA can be accurately measured and its associated voltage phase source, as well as which outlet of an intelligent power strip it flows out of, can be reliably determined.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods take advantage of properties of sinc filters that remove frequency components at specific integer multiples of a noise frequency. In various embodiments, sampling of multi-channel systems at sufficiently high rates allows for removal of unwanted signals and harmonics from multi-sample sequences. Advantageously, a multi-sample sequence scheduling scheme eliminates the need for noise filtering one channel at a time at each channel's own sampling rate using a separate filter.

Abstract: Technologies related to training machine-learning-based surrogate models for phase equilibria calculations are disclosed. In one implementation, an equation of state (EOS) for each of one or more regions of a reservoir is determined based on results of one or more pressure, volume, or temperature (PVT) experiments conducted on samples of downhole fluids obtained from one or more regions of the reservoir.

One or more PVT experiments are simulated for the spatially mapped compositions of the downhole fluids using the determined EOS to create a compositional database of the reservoir. One or more machine-learning algorithms are trained using the compositional database, and the trained one or more machine-learning algorithms are used to predict phase stability and perform flash calculations for compositional reservoir simulation.
