Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate to assessing the quality of electrocatalyst-loaded disk electrodes. In one embodiment, a system that assesses the quality of electrocatalyst-loaded disk electrodes receives one or more images of a disk electrode on which an electrocatalyst has been deposited to produce an electrocatalyst-loaded disk electrode. The system also processes the one or more images using a machine-learning-based model trained to generate a prediction of a Koutecky-Levich (K-L) quality assessment of the electrocatalyst-loaded disk electrode. The system also accepts or reject inclusion of the electrocatalyst-loaded disk electrode in an electrochemical experimentation process based, at least in part, on the prediction.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to systems and methods to detect network errors in a parallel redundant protocol (PRP) network. A node-level redundancy error subsystem of an intelligent electronic device (IED) maintains records (e.g., counts) of information associated with missing duplicate frames expected from node devices on the PRP network via redundant first and second local area networks (LANs). Non-zero counts of missing duplicate frames may be identified as network errors.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for separating a hydrocarbon-containing feedstock stream by extractive distillation, wherein the feedstock stream is contacted with a water-soluble solvent for aromatics in countercurrent. An aliphatics fraction is distillatively removed as aliphatics product stream from the mixture obtained. The aromatics are stripped from the aromatics-enriched solvent that remains and the aromatics-depleted solvent is recycled in a solvent circuit, with compounds having a lower boiling point compared to the solvent accumulating in the solvent circuit as impurities. At least a substream of the solvent circuit is purified for removal of the impurities, wherein the substream for the purifying is subjected to a thermal separation process, in which the impurities are at least partly discharged in a top product and the purified solvent that remains is recycled into the solvent circuit. An apparatus for carrying out the process is also disclosed.

Abstract: The chips in coolant having passed through a first bath 202A and a second bath 202B are attracted to a permanent magnets 307B of an endless chain 302B and discharged into a chip box 308. Magnetic force of a permanent magnets 307A of an endless chain 302A is set to be stronger than magnetic force of the permanent magnets 307B of the endless chain 302B. Consequently, fine chips in coolant passing through a third bath 202C and a fourth bath 202D can be attracted to the permanent magnets 307A of the endless chain 302A and discharged into the chip box 308. Further, when coolant having passed through the fourth bath 202D flows into a sub-coolant tank 105, a coolant pump 107 feeds the coolant within the sub-coolant tank 105 to a magnetic inline filter 10 so as to further filtering the coolant.

Abstract: The present application describes an intelligent hoisting method for a bridge deck crane system. The method involves determining the splicing heights at two key positions of the segment to be installed by measuring the alignment height of an already installed segment. The segment is hoisted, and the real-time heights at both positions are monitored. If one position reaches the splicing height while the other does not, the lifting point is adjusted until both positions align with their respective splicing heights. This method eliminates the need for reference marks or docking joints on the segment to be installed, thereby avoiding issues related to their precision and installation accuracy. Additionally, it simplifies the splicing operation by removing the need for pre-processing the segment, reducing the overall complexity of the process.
