Abstract: A control apparatus is communicably connected to a first apparatus to perform a control on the first apparatus. The control apparatus includes a data collecting unit, a collection interval determining unit, and a storing unit. The data collecting unit collects, by polling and from the first apparatus, data in order to perform the control. The collection interval determining unit determines, based on a setting content of the control, a collection interval of the data collected by the data collecting unit. The control apparatus performs a plurality of the controls on one first apparatus. The storing unit stores, for each of the controls, one data item or a plurality of data items constituting the data. The storing unit further stores, for each of the data items, the collection interval.

Abstract: A chloride salt eliminator system and method for removal of chloride salt from glycol circulated through a reboiler in natural gas dehydration, in a continuous process, close to the wellhead. Hot glycol from the reboiler is pumped into a salt eliminator unit having independently replaceable filter elements which trap chloride salts which are not soluble in hot glycol and pass clean glycol for return to the reboiler.

Abstract: A method and system for co-ordinating control of a plurality of sensorless devices. Each device includes a communication subsystem and configured to self-detect one or more device properties, the device properties resulting in output having one or more output properties. The method includes: detecting inputs including the one or more device properties of each device, correlating, for each device, the detected one or more device properties to the one or more output properties, and co-ordinating control of each of the devices to operate at least one of their respective device properties to co-ordinate one or more output properties for the combined output to achieve a setpoint. In some example embodiments, the setpoint can be fixed, calculated or externally determined.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cocrystal of ubiquinone and a hydrogen bond donor coformer, to a process for the preparation thereof, and to its use as a medicament or a dietary supplement. The invention also relates to compositions comprising the cocrystal.

Abstract: A control system for an operable system such as a flow control system or temperature control system. The system operates in a control loop to regularly update a model with respect at least one optimizable input variable based on the detected variables. The model provides prediction of use of the input variables in all possible operation points or paths of the system variables which achieve an output setpoint. In some example embodiments, the control loop is performed during initial setup and subsequent operation of the one or more operable elements in the operable system. The control system is self-learning in that at least some of the initial and subsequent parameters of the system are determined automatically during runtime.

Abstract: A process of the type for producing 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane by introducing 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane, chlorine, and Lewis acid catalyst, optionally in the presence of carbon tetrachloride, the improvement comprising introducing the Lewis acid as a slurry within a chlorinated hydrocarbon.

Abstract: Systems include one or more critical datacenter connected to behind-the-meter flexible datacenters. The critical datacenter is powered by grid power and not necessarily collocated with the flexboxes, which are powered “behind the meter.” When a computational operation to be performed at the critical datacenter is identified and determined that it can be performed at a lower cost at a flexible datacenter, the computational operation is instead routed to the flexible datacenters for performance. The critical datacenter and flexible datacenters preferably shared a dedicated communication pathway to enable high-bandwidth, low-latency, secure data transmissions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a denture tray for visual marking and a manufacturing method thereof. The method comprises: establishing a three-dimensional model of a target dentition of a target patient; obtaining a three-dimensional model of a substrate of a denture tray based on the three-dimensional model of the target dentition; providing a through hole at a preset position on the three-dimensional model of the substrate of the denture tray; establishing a three-dimensional model of a fixed connection portion on an outer side surface of the three-dimensional model of the substrate of the denture tray to form a three-dimensional model of the denture tray, wherein the three-dimensional model of the fixed connection portion is integrally connected with the three-dimensional model of the substrate of the denture tray; and manufacturing the denture tray based on the three-dimensional model of the denture tray.

Abstract: A workpiece machining device includes a positional deviation correction unit configured to correct a positional deviation of a radius end mill by detecting a positional deviation between a real contour line and an ideal contour line of the radius end mill. The positional deviation correction unit calculates a first correction value configured to make a center of a first arc section formed into an arc shape at a corner portion of the ideal contour line and a center of a second arc section formed into an arc shape at a corner portion of the real contour line to be identical to each other in a plane perpendicular to the rotational axis, and corrects a machining point by the radius end mill using the first correction value.
