Abstract: The present disclosure includes devices, and systems for monitoring and detection systems. Some of the methods may include monitoring one or more birds that each has a receiver-located tag and/or a global positioning satellite (GPS) tag, and for each of the bird(s) having a receiver-located tag: receiving, at at least one of a plurality of detection stations, a signal from the receiver-located tag, each of the detection stations comprising two or more directional antennas, determining bird heading information and bird distance information, estimating a position and trajectory of the bird; and calculating an amount of time for the bird to reach a boundary around a wind turbine (TTB). In some methods, for each of the bird(s) having a GPS tag: receiving GPS data from the GPS tag when the bird crosses a geo-fence that surrounds the wind turbine; estimating a position and trajectory of the bird.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the separation of gas and liquid-solid slurry under pressure, and passage of the liquid-solid slurry to an atmospheric discharge.
