Abstract: A flow cell can comprise a high-pressure, fluidic, flow-through housing that encloses and auto-aligns a heavy-walled, internally reflective low-cost glass capillary for concentrating and amplifying laser-excited spectra. The containment housing that encloses the capillaries can optionally sustain operational pressures of at least 10,000 psi. The pressure housing can be fitted with transparent optical windows that can accommodate laser-safe injection and spectra collection. The flow-cell design can adaptably accommodate different optical sampling configurations such as transmissive (forward scattering), reflective (backward scattering), or multipass, combined scattering. The flow cell size is scalable (lengthwise) to accommodate different applications or installations such as benchtop (lab), permanent (industrial), and portable (field).

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for converting a passive cooling system into an active hydronic ground cooling system.

A top portion of the existing pipe can be threaded and fitted with a cap base. Tubing can then be installed within the existing pipe. A cap can be attached to the cap base. The tubing can be attached to a chiller system and filled with coolant. Similar procedure can be applied to convert a thermopile or traditional pipe pile to into an active cooling system.

Abstract: A patient care system may collect and analyze data regarding characteristics of an individual to identify any health, medical, and/or physiological conditions associated with the individual. Trend analysis may predict an onset of a medical condition associated with the individual. Trend analysis may determine and/or identify one or more target areas (e.g., geographical areas) where individuals experience particular symptoms and/or affected by various health, medical, and/or mental issues. An alert, diagnosis, and/or treatment plan may be determined for an individual based on a corpus of information collected from and/or associated with multiple individuals.

Abstract: A system and method for generating synthetic streamflow data for a malfunctioning streamgage is provided. The method uses both classification and regression techniques to accurately predict streamflow data for the malfunctioning streamgage based on measured streamflow data from other streamgages and based on correlations between the streamgages. The system and method may also provide a method of improved flood forecasting, by updating flood forecasts using synthetic streamflow data when measured streamflow data from one or more streamgages are unavailable. The system may generate flood forecast information and/or flood warning messages.

Abstract: Methods and systems for designing and manufacturing a mathematically fair N-sided die are disclosed.
