Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein. The techniques can include obtaining current context data and determining a contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and a reasoning model. The reasoning model may have been determined based on one or more sets of training data. The techniques may cause performance of the contextually-determined action and, potentially, receiving an indication that performing the contextually-determined action in the current context resulted in an anomaly. The techniques include determining a portion of the reasoning model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and causing removal of the portion of the model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action, to produce a corrected reasoning model. Subsequently, second context data is obtained, a second action is determined based on that data and the corrected reasoning model, and the second contextually-determined action can be performed.

Abstract: A system and method for operation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) yard truck is provided. A processor facilitates autonomous movement of the AV yard truck, and connection to and disconnection from trailers. A plurality of sensors are interconnected with the processor that sense terrain/objects and assist in automatically connecting/disconnecting trailers. A server, interconnected, wirelessly with the processor, that tracks movement of the truck around and determines locations for trailer connection and disconnection. A door station unlatches/opens rear doors of the trailer when adjacent thereto, securing them in an opened position via clamps, etc. The system computes a height of the trailer, and/or if landing gear of the trailer is on the ground and interoperates with the fifth wheel to change height, and whether docking is safe, allowing a user to take manual control, and optimum charge time(s). Reversing sensors/safety, automated chocking, and intermodal container organization are also provided.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition, a combination product including the composition and a method of manufacturing the composition. The composition includes a particulate complex of API bound with a crosslinked polysaccharide micro sponge. The combination product includes a dosage form of the particulate complex within a container. The amount of the particulate complex is selected to provide a defined dose of the API. The formulation may be heated within the container by a vaporizer device, vaporizing the API and dissociating the API from the micro sponge as vapour, which passes through apertures in the container facilitating administration of the API by inhalation of the vapour. The apertures are sized to facilitate passage of the vapour but prevent passage the particulate complex. The API may be hydrophobic such as phytocannabinoids or hydrophilic such as nicotine. The pharmaceutical composition may be manufactured by driving binding of the API to the micro sponge in solution.
