  • Publication number: 20240079616
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of detecting a hydrogen leak in a system comprising a hydrogen storage system storing hydrogen, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a hydrogen storage system controller, and a notification system. The hydrogen storage system controller is configured to measure thermodynamic properties of the hydrogen in the hydrogen storage system, and the thermodynamic properties of the hydrogen are used to determine if there is a hydrogen leak in the fuel cell system. The notification system alerts a user of any detected hydrogen leak.

  • Patent number: 10760455
    Abstract: A poppet valve has an elongated stem that is configured to extend along a longitudinal axis. The poppet valve further includes a valve body that is disposed laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis and located in a spaced apart relation with an end of the elongated stem. The valve body has a pair of opposing faces disposed co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the elongated stem. The poppet valve also includes at least two arcuately shaped appendages depending downwardly from the end of the elongated stem and extending away from the longitudinal axis of the elongated stem. An end of each appendage is disposed in abutment with an annular region defined on one of the opposing faces of the valve body, a perimeter of the annular region being larger than a perimeter of the elongated stem measured about the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 10611086
    Abstract: A method for evaluating part for additive manufacturing is provided. The method includes receiving data related to a set of printability factors associated with the part. The set of printability factors comprise at least: an availability of a three dimensional printer, a build density, a fraction of part to be printed, a print accuracy, a part complexity, and a number of parts needed. The method includes evaluating a printability index associated with the part based on at least three printability factors from the set of printability factors. Further, the method includes displaying the printability index associated with the part for the evaluation of the part for additive manufacturing.

  • Publication number: 20180089156
    Abstract: In various embodiments, an automatic presentation/document builder is disclosed, where in a first phase a database/datastore is constructed from previously assembled presentations and documents including ratings/rankings for components/segments based on actions of viewers of the previously assembled presentations. In a second phase, a new presentation/document is automatically created based on interactive guidance with respect to desired goals, points, and storylines. Presentation components are automatically chosen and/or automatically suggested based on search functionality using Content Rank Scores that include weighted parameters. Newly created documents are thus assembled from segments of previously assembled presentations/documents with the new draft presentation/document based on user guidance and a stated desired outcome. In the last phase, the user is provided with machine assisted recommendation to enhance the automatically assembled presentation/document.

  • Publication number: 20160140195
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with custom parallelization on a per load operation basis are described. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a first load operation that loads first data into a first database table, determining a first level of parallelization with which to execute the first load operation, and storing the first level of parallelization for use in future execution of the first load operation. The method includes identifying a second load operation that loads second data into a second database table, determining a second level of parallelization, different from the first level of parallelization, with which to execute the second load operation, and storing the second level of parallelization for use in future execution of the second load operation.

  • Patent number: 7810713
    Abstract: A method of projecting cash flow is disclosed which may include the steps of displaying a position date at which a cash flow position is to be calculated, displaying a beginning cash balance total amount as of the position date, displaying a forecast sales total amount as of the position date, displaying an accounts receivable total amount as of the position date, displaying an accounts payable total amount as of the position date, displaying a projected expense total amount as of the position date and displaying a resulting cash flow position as of the position date. The method may allow the user to edit the amount of at least one of the displayed beginning cash total balance, forecast sales total amount, account receivable total amount, accounts payable total amount and projected expense total amount along with the position date and the method may calculate and display a new cash flow position based on at least one of the edited amounts and edited position date.

  • Publication number: 20060106687
    Abstract: A method of automatically converting from accrual based accounting to cash basis accounting using a computer is disclosed. The method may include reviewing an entry in a general ledger, determining whether an entry in the general ledger is for a transaction between general ledger accounts that are treated differently in accrual based accounting and cash based accounting, for an entry determined to be between general ledger accounts that are treated differently in accrual based accounting and cash based accounting, calculating a modifying entry to convert the entry from accrual basis accounting to cash basis accounting, applying the calculated modification entry to the entry, and creating a modified balance sheet and modified income statement based on the modified entry.
