  • Publication number: 20260103219
    Abstract: A simulation may be used to determine a difference between progress of a manually-driven vehicle and progress of a simulated autonomous vehicle. The method includes retrieving log data collected for the manually-driven vehicle driving along a route, generating a plurality of path segments for a portion of the route. The plurality of path segments corresponds to points in a lane that the manually-driven vehicle traveled through on the portion of the route. The method also includes running, using a software of the autonomous vehicle, a simulation of the autonomous vehicle driving along the plurality of path segments, extracting metrics from the log data and the simulation, and determining the difference between a first progress of the manually-driven vehicle and a second progress of the simulated autonomous vehicle based on the metrics.

  • Publication number: 20260079508
    Abstract: A method for controlling a feedstock blend is described, comprising the steps of: measuring a corrosion of a pipe in a fuel processing facility with a sensor; setting a maximum sulfur content in the feedstock blend based on the corrosion; measuring a build-up of material in the pipe with the sensor; establishing a maximum viscosity of the feedstock blend based on output of the sensor; blending, to form the feedstock blend, a first feedstock and a second feedstock to fulfill both the maximum sulfur content and the maximum viscosity; and passing the feedstock blend through the first pipe.

    Abstract: The invention comprises a coupled data center cooling/liquid natural gas (LNG) regasification heating and cooling apparatus and method of use thereof. For example, a method is described for cooling a data center, comprising the steps of: (1) transferring heat from the data center to a liquid phase combustible refrigerant and (2) phase changing the liquid phase combustible refrigerant, carried by the trailer, to a gas phase combustible refrigerant, at least fifty percent of an enthalpy of vaporization energy used in the step of phase changing transferred to the gas phase combustible refrigerant in the step of transferring, the gas phase combustible refrigerant comprising an energy density of greater than 10,000 kJ/kg. Optionally, the step of phase changing boils a liquefied natural gas (LNG), carried by the trailer, to a gas phase natural gas (NG).

  • Patent number: 11806440
    Abstract: The instant disclosure is directed to methods of improving bone-soft tissue healing using biocompatible electrospun polymer fibers. In one embodiment, a method may include locating a portion of a subject's bone, affixing a tendon or ligament to the bone using a hardware fixture, and placing a patch comprising at least one electrospun polymer fiber in physical communication with both the bone and the tendon or ligament. In some embodiments, the bone may be a humerus, and the tendon or ligament may be a supraspinatus tendon. In certain embodiments, the patch may comprise substantially parallel electrospun polymer fibers, and may be placed such that the fibers are also substantially parallel with the long axis of the tendon or ligament.
