Abstract: Environmentally-clean biodegradable water-based biochemical concentrates for producing fire-inhibiting and fire-extinguishing liquids and foams for fighting Class A and/or B fires. The concentrates are formulated using generally safe food-grade chemicals, for foaming agents, surfactants and dispersants, and fire inhibiting extinguishing agents, without the use of phosphates and ammonia compounds. Automated proportioning and mixing devices and systems can be used to mix the biochemical concentrates with proportioned quantities of pressurized water so as to produce fire inhibiting and extinguishing water streams, as well as finished firefighting foam materials, to both inhibit and extinguish fire involving Class A and/or B fuels.

Abstract: A workstation for measuring dimensions includes an operator zone, a first fixture, a second fixture, a component delivery device, a gauge, and a collaborative robot. The second fixture is accessible to an operator in the operator zone. A component delivery device deposits a first component onto the first fixture. The envelope of the component delivery device is not accessible by the operator in the operator zone. The collaborative robot supports the gauge tool and has a range of motion capable of measuring the first component on the first fixture and a second component on the second fixture. A control module is in communication with the gauge and the collaborative robot and operates the collaborative robot to measure the first component on the first fixture and the second component on the second fixture.

The categories may include transmitting, to the client device, a result of the classifying by the top model and the child model.

Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques are described for providing separate source regions in the substrate below a block of memory cells. The source regions can be separately driven by respective voltage drivers to provide benefits such as more uniform program and erase speeds and narrower threshold voltage distributions. In one approach, a single source region is provided and divided into multiple source regions by etching trenches and filling the trenches with an insulating material. Contacts to the source regions can include post-shaped contacts which extend through the block for each source region. In another approach, one or more planar contacts extend through the block for each source region.

Abstract: Preparation of an aqueous chlorine dioxide solution that reaches a first chlorine dioxide concentration during a first time period, and reaches a terminal concentration thereafter. A dilute solution of aqueous sodium chlorite or chlorate with predetermined concentration is produced, which yields the terminal chlorine dioxide concentration once an acid activator is added. The dilute solution is transferred through a conduit into a sanitization zone. The acid activator is injected into the conduit at a rate and concentration selected to reach the first chlorine dioxide concentration at the end of the first time period, with a flow rate such that the activated dilute solution of aqueous sodium chlorite has passed through the conduit prior to reaching the first chlorine dioxide concentration, which thereby limits exposure of the conduit to levels less than the first chlorine dioxide concentration.
