  • Publication number: 20240150593
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sealing composition for treating a metal substrate comprising: a polyolefin component; and a colloidal layered silicate. Also disclosed is a system for treating a metal substrate comprising: a cleaner composition; and/or a pretreatment composition for treating at least a portion of the substrate, the pretreatment composition comprising a Group IVB metal; and a sealing composition for treating at least a portion of the substrate treated with the cleaner composition and/or the pretreated composition, the sealing composition comprising a polyolefin component. Also disclosed is a method of treating a substrate comprising contacting at least a portion of a surface of the substrate with any of the compositions disclosed herein or any of the systems disclosed herein.

  • Publication number: 20220198367
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for expert matching though workload intelligence. Embodiments include receiving a request for a support engagement. Embodiments include receiving workload data of a plurality of experts. Embodiments include determining a workload capacity of each respective expert based on the respective workload data for the respective expert. Embodiments include determining a respective estimated completion time for the support engagement for each of the plurality of experts using a machine learning model. Embodiments include determining match scores for the support engagement and each of the plurality of experts based on the estimated completion times and the workload capacities. Embodiments include selecting a given expert of the plurality of experts to handle the support engagement based on the match scores.

  • Patent number: 6330299
    Abstract: A system an method for determining the Dose Area Product (DAP) in an X-ray imaging system is provided. The present system constructs a pre-determined parameter space describing the DAP contour over ranges of typical imaging parameters. Later, when the employed in clinical imaging, a DAP processor on board the imaging system received a set of the imaging parameters being employed. The DAP applies the set of parameters to the parameter space to interpolate the DAP being delivered by the clinical imaging system. The present system may be individually calibrated to a specific X-ray imaging system to provide more optimal DAP values. Additionally, in imaging system employing an asymmetric shutter, such as a one-leaf shutter, the present system may determine a rotational scale factor for the DAP based on the rotation of the shutter. The rotational scale factor may also be calibrated to an individual X-ray imaging system.
