  • Patent number: 11931920
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of monitoring a flow rate of a liquid additive comprising measuring the flow rate of the liquid additive with a flow meter; transmitting the measurements of the flow rate to a controller; transmitting, from a variable frequency drive (VFD), measurements of a rotational speed of a motor to the controller, wherein the VFD is coupled to the motor; transmitting measurements from a level sensor to the controller; determining whether the flow rate of the liquid additive is a non-zero rate; utilizing the measurements transmitted to the controller as feedback to compare against a designated set point; calculating an error between the feedback and the designated set point to calculate an updated output; and transmitting the updated output to the VFD to change the flow rate of the liquid additive.

  • Patent number: 10490302
    Abstract: The system and method utilizes a computer system having processors that receive quantitative data from users and generate data to facilitate prioritization and reduction of barriers that prevent patients from receiving medical therapies from a particular healthcare provider in rank order. The processors provide an initial rank order of potential barriers based on calculated correlation coefficient, and determine a subsequent rank order of potential barriers based on the calculated correlation coefficient and other data indicative of the effect of each barrier on the patients. The system and method provides for a systematic, data-driven, and validated process to improve patient access to healthcare providers.
