  • Publication number: 20230290446
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system are provided for featurization of carbon dioxide capture characteristics in molecules. The method inputs a structure-based key of a fixed number of sub-structure descriptors for chemical groups relating to carbon dioxide capture characteristics. Sub-structure searching of each of the sub-structures defined in the key is carried out through candidate molecules represented in a format suitable for searching. A featurization of each candidate molecule is provided in the form of a fixed bit fingerprint indicating a presence or an absence of the sub-structures defined in the key. The fingerprint is applied for screening of molecules for carbon dioxide capture characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20230230376
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining position information relating to an object in a sporting event, determining, based on the position information, that a start event has occurred, wherein the start event indicates a start of play of the sporting event, and generating, according to a result of the determination, an instruction to start storing position information relating to the object.

  • Patent number: 4864233
    Abstract: There is disclosed herein a method and apparatus wherein conveyor belt cords are first de-gaussed to remove any stray magnetic fields, and then longitudinal unidirectionally magnetized. The belt is then magnetically scanned and the electrical output signal is passed through a low pass filter in order to produce a break signal indicative of breaks in the magnetically permeable cords of the conveyor belt.

  • Patent number: 4439731
    Abstract: The present invention discloses both a method and apparatus whereby the integrity of elongate magnetically permeable member(s) can be determined even if coated with a non-magnetic substance or embedded in a non-magnetic body. A magnetic yoke having field winding(s) and sensing winding(s) is used to induce a time varying magnetic field in the magnetically permeable member(s). Changes in the reluctance experienced by this magnetic field alter the output of the sensing winding(s). The invention finds particular application to testing conveyor belts, but is also applicable to steel cables, and both rubber and concrete bodies, including steel reinforcing.
