Abstract: A method is disclosed, which comprises estimating a first value of a parameter of a component, prior to a use of the component in a reactor. In an example, the parameter of the component is to change during the use of the component in the reactor. The component may be treated, subsequent to the use of the component in the reactor. A second value of the parameter of the component may be estimated, subsequent to treating the component. The second value may be compared with the first value, where a reuse of the component in the reactor is to occur in response to the second value being within a threshold range of the first value.

Abstract: A removable plug is disclosed for concealing a bore in a piece of furniture, the plug includes a body configured to fit within the bore. A retaining portion of the body is configured to be of adjustable diameter such that a user can cause an increase in the diameter of the portion to create an interference fit between an outer wall of the body and an inner wall of the bore, thereby retaining the plug removably within the bore. Systems and methods that utilize the removable plug are also disclosed.

Abstract: A message is broadcast from an industrial device to a server. The message includes information identifying the type of the industrial device and indicates that the industrial device is to be configured. The message is received at the server, and at the server responsively determines correct configuration information associated with the type of the industrial device. The configuration information is transmitted from the server to the industrial device and a secure link is established between the server and the industrial device. The configuration information is received at the industrial device and the industrial device responsively ceases the broadcasting. Subsequently, the industrial device is configured according to the configuration information. Software from a storage unit is accessed according to the configuration information. Updated configuration information from the server to the industrial device over the secure link.
