Abstract: A containment basin system includes a basin and a lifting brace configured to be secured to and stabilize the basin for lifting and emptying operations. The basin includes a bottom wall, three or more side walls, and a lip extending around a top of all of the side walls. The bottom wall includes two transverse recesses. The lifting brace includes a base, two guide rails extending perpendicularly from the base, and two receptacles extending perpendicularly from the base. The two receptacles of the lifting brace are configured to engage the two transverse recesses of the basin. Each of the receptacles includes a central space dimensioned to receive a fork of a fork lift. The two guide rails each includes an upper guide and a lower guide configured to receive the lip of the basin therebetween.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a generic data model for the representation of an arbitrarily complex environment are disclosed. These systems and methods allow the representation of any logical or physical entity and the associations and dependencies between these entities. Components may be used to represent the entities while relationships may be used to represent the associations and dependencies between the entities. A typing system may be utilized in conjunction with a generic data model to define a hierarchy of components and relationships for use with a particular category of environments. The data structures associated with a generic data model may be stored utilizing a table schema which does not change with the addition of new data structures or types of data structures. Applied data models created from these generic data models may be searched utilizing a query language which allows efficient searching of the applied data model, and structuring of the concomitant results.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems and methods for planning or monitoring system transformations. One embodiment of a method for planning or monitoring the transformation of a system includes developing one or more states, each state representing a system and associated with data structures representing entities comprising the system, wherein the states are ordered in a succession of states to form a scenario modeling the transformation of the system. States can be populated by reflecting one or more data structures or properties of data structures across one or more states. The method can further include collecting data associated with the system at intervals and reflecting the collected data across states. Data structures may be contained in a repository and collected data may be used to update the repository and data structures contained in the repository. A modeling tool may be utilized to display data structures in the repository according to different representations.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for extracting data from multiple sources and loading data into a central repository. One embodiment of a method of the present invention includes extracting a first set of data from one or more data sources, correlating the first set of data with a second set of data contained in a central repository, comparing the first set of data with the second set of data, determining a set of operations to be applied to the second set of data and applying the set of operations to the second set of data.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for relationship discovery. According to one embodiment of the present invention, arbitrarily complex relationship discovery rules can be applied to components in a data model to determine if a relationship exists between the components. If the components satisfy a relationship discovery rule, a relationship can be established for the components. Because the relationships are established based on the application of relationship discovery rules rather than through enforcement of a database schema, new relationships and relationship types can be established without having to alter the underlying database schema. Additionally, because rules can be repetitively applied, relationships can be established, deleted and updated as the system being modeled changes.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a radiation detector providing for the in situ automatic sampling of fluids containing substances emitting radiation, especially Cerenkov radiation. The detector permits sampling within well casings and is self-purging such that no additional provisions must be established for the storage and disposal of contaminated fluids.
