Abstract: The present invention relates to a prefabricated infilled panel-frame structure capable of accommodating seismic-loading and seismic energy dissipation, and a construction method thereof, including a frame body, a prefabricated infilled panel group, a panel connector, and a disc spring assembly. During an earthquake, the present invention slides to dissipate energy only after the maximum starting sliding force is exceeded, thus providing the structure with a relatively high lateral stiffness prior to sliding. After an earthquake, the disc spring assembly of the present invention may provide a certain restoring force due to being compressed so as to reduce the residual displacement. Further, the present invention achieves the bidirectional deformation cooperation of the prefabricated infilled panel under earthquakes, so that the infilled panel may still achieve the function of seismic energy dissipation under the coupling action of in-plane and out-of-plane loads.

Abstract: A process for thin strip production integrates continuous casting and rolling, with steps including continuous casting, rough rolling, induction heating, finish rolling, laminar cooling, high-speed shearing, and coiling. A key feature is the in-line heating between casting and rough rolling, where wide surfaces, narrow surfaces, and corners of the casting blank are heated simultaneously. This process improves rough rolling efficiency, enhances uniformity and thickness stability of thin strips, reduces out-of-tolerance rates, and minimizes rolling-induced cracks.

Abstract: A method and system for dispersing stored energy in an energy storage system to delay or arrest propagation of thermal runaway and thermally-induced cascading failures. The system includes a plurality of battery sub-assemblies and DC-DC converters connected to a shared DC bus through which energy may be exchanged. The system may be interfaced to an AC power grid or DC power system through an additional power converter. The method of dispersing stored energy uses this system to charge and discharge sub-assemblies such that the system is less susceptible to propagation of thermal runaway. The method determines, based on awareness of current system state, battery types, and electrical and thermal structure, the sequence of charging and discharging actions to best inhibit thermal runaway while preserving the system's ability to perform subsequent energy redistribution.

Abstract: An object moving along a conduit having multiple channels is tracked. Each channel defines a portion of a length of the conduit. For each channel, acoustic data, generated from one or more acoustic signals detected at the channel in response to movement of the object along the conduit, is generated. For at least one channel, the acoustic data obtained for the at least one channel is cross-correlated with the acoustic data obtained for at least one other one of the channels. Based on the cross-correlating, a position of the object within the conduit is determined.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatus presented herein are directed to improvements in maintaining voltage and frequency stability of an electric power delivery system. To do so, model predictive control (MPC) may be used. Input data may be obtained for a sampling period and may include a current system state.

The MPC may determine control inputs to the system which achieve the updated input trajectory for a control period. The MPC may transmit control signals based at least in part on the control inputs to equipment associated with the input data.
