  • Patent number: 12205456
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein are directed to automatedly generating entity-specific notifications of a vehicle accident occurrence for entities. In response to a notification system receiving accident data, the system can determine characteristics for the accident occurrence. Using these characteristics, the system can then determine parameters for the notifications defining types of entities which ought to be recipients in accordance with the characteristics. The system can use these parameters to locate specific entities that match the parameters. Having determined the entities, the system can issue notifications to the entities, using templates specific to the entities and with accident characteristics added.

  • Patent number: 10975470
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for monitoring and/or detecting concentrations of a chemical precursor in a reaction chamber. The apparatus and method have an advantage of operating in a high temperature environment. An optical emissions spectrometer (OES) is coupled to a gas source, such as a solid source vessel, in order to monitor or detect an output of the chemical precursor to the reaction chamber. Alternatively, a small sample of precursor can be periodically monitored flowing into the OES and into a vacuum pump, thus bypassing the reaction chamber.

  • Publication number: 20210079496
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for maximising the recovery of lithium from purified feed solutions in either chloride or sulphate media. The solubility of lithium carbonate is sufficiently high that conventional techniques do not recover all of the lithium. An ion exchange process has been developed wherein the residual lithium is also recovered, leading to essentially 100% recovery of the lithium in the process solution.
