Abstract: An in-line loss-on-ignition measurement system includes an on-site extractor subsystem configured to collect fuel or a combustion by-product from a hydrocarbon fuel burning plant. An on-site analyzer is configured to receive the collected matter from the extractor subsystem and configured to weigh the collected matter, burn the collected matter, and weight the collected matter again. A controller is responsive to the analyzer and is configured to determine the loss-on-ignition data for the plant based on the weight of the collected matter before and after it is burned in the analyzer.

Abstract: An in-line loss-on-ignition measurement system featuring an extractor configured to collect fuel or a combustion by-product from a hydrocarbon fuel burning plant, an on-site analyzer configured to receive the collected matter and determine loss-on-ignition data for the plant, a transfer mechanism configured to transfer the collected matter from the extractor to the analyzer, and a controller for displaying the loss-on-ignition data and/or for automatically adjusting one or more parameters associated with the plant.

Abstract: A system and process is provided for integrating and controlling devices within an environment for executing a procedure. A state of the environment is determined, at least in part, from the monitored information received from the device(s). In response to a predetermined workflow plan and in view of the determined state of the environment, commands are identified for one or more of the multiple devices to support execution of the workflow plan. A middleware bridge is provided for allowing any application to communicate with any device, given that capabilities of the device satisfy requirements of the application. The middleware system includes a device driver generator adapted for creating device drivers from static, descriptive files, and a service generator adapted for generating services from the device model and application requirements. Integration is accomplished by a matching of device and application services. The devices can be medical devices in a clinical environment.
