Abstract: A system provides oxygen enriched air to a wastewater treatment aeration system by utilizing a membrane unit coupled with a vacuum-generating device which applies a vacuum to the membrane unit thereby pulling out a flow of permeate having an enriched oxygen component. An aeration blower receives the flow of permeate and pressurizes it for delivery to the wastewater treatment aeration system. The membrane units may be in a variety of configurations, including a shell-less membrane. The membrane unit may also provide a stream of oxygen enriched air to a biogas fired power plant or other flue gas generator.

Abstract: An example system includes a processor to receive production log data and pre-process the production log data to generate an exploration data set. The production log data includes continuous updates of a ranking function associated with different actions for a same query issued by a same user in different impressions. The processor can perform offline estimation of online metrics for ranking functions using the exploration data set, evaluate a proposed ranking function by comparing the estimated online metrics to a set of baseline metrics of a baseline ranking function, detect that the proposed ranking function is a preferred ranking function having a higher detected metric score than the baseline ranking function based on a comparison of the estimated online metrics with the baseline metrics of the baseline ranking function, and execute an action on an information retrieval system based on the preferred ranking function.

Abstract: A computer network device (such as an access point, a switch or a router) that has multiple user interfaces is described. During operation, the computer network device may execute program instructions for the user interfaces and a shared messaging module, where a given user interface includes an agent corresponding to an application. When a message associated with the application is received via a user interface in the user interfaces, the corresponding agent in the user interface may extract a command or operation from the message. Then, the shared messaging module may translate the command or operation into a common format of the application. Moreover, the shared messaging module may provide (or route) the translated command or operation addressed to the application via a single communication path associated with the application and the agents for the application in the user interfaces.

Abstract: A touch sensor system includes touch sensors, drive-sense circuits (DSCs), memory, and a processing module. A DSC drives a first signal via a single line coupling to a touch sensor and simultaneously senses, when present, a second signal that is uniquely associated with a user. The DSC processes the first signal and/or the second signal to generate a digital signal that is representative of an electrical characteristic of the touch sensor. The processing module executes operational instructions (stored in the memory) to process the digital signal to detect interaction of the user with the touch sensor and to determine whether the interaction of the user with the touch sensor compares favorably with authorization. When not authorized, the processing module aborts execution of operation(s) associated with the interaction of the user with the touch sensor. Alternatively, when authorized, the processing module facilitates execution of the operation(s).
