  • Publication number: 20240141524
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for electrolyte solution production can be provided so that a modular production can be provided. The modular electrolyte production can be provided so that the production system is mobile for being used in multiple different plants at different geographical locations that are remote from each other. Embodiments can be configured so that electrolyte production is made for a plant specific application that provides an electrolyte solution having a pre-selected concentration of at least one electrolyte for use in at least one electrolyzer of the plant. The production can be mobile so it can be provided at different sites to make the same type of solutions or different solutions specific to the needs of the plants it may support. Some embodiments can utilize an electrolyte material handling device that also modular and mobile. Other embodiments can be configured to utilize an on-site electrolyte material handling device.

    Abstract: A system to deploy virtual sensors to a machine learning project and translate data of the machine learning project is provided. The system can deploy, for a machine learning project, a plurality of virtual sensors at a first location of a plurality of locations to detect metadata of a data source of the machine learning project, at a second location of the plurality of locations to detect deployment information of a model trained for the machine learning project, and at a third location of the plurality of locations to detect learning session information for creation of the model. The system can collect, via the plurality of virtual sensors, data for the machine learning project. The system can translate, for render on a computing system, the data collected via the plurality of virtual sensors into a plurality of graphics.

  • Publication number: 20230356236
    Abstract: A milling system for milling an edible input material into an edible product configuration meeting a product specification includes a plurality of mills arranged in parallel and connected by recycle loops. A measurement system is provided for measuring attributes of the mills and attributes of the edible input material upstream and downstream of the mills. A continuously self-learning control system is provided for performing operations based on a continuously self-learning algorithm. The operations include processing measurement data of the measurement system to control the mills while maximizing particle sizes in the system, and receiving an operator selection identifying the edible input material to be milled and the edible product configuration to be produced by the milling system. The control system initializes and operates the mills based on an initial control model of the milling system associated with the selection, and continuously updates the control model and mill settings.
