  • Patent number: 11242789
    Abstract: A boiler or other fired vessel includes a housing with a burner at one end, a furnace downstream of the burner, a convection section downstream of the furnace and a flue gas outlet downstream of the convection section. A first means for loading a reducing agent comprising at least two injectors is located downstream of the furnace. A second means for loading a reducing agent is located downstream of the first means for loading a reducing agent. A selective catalytic reduction catalyst is located either downstream of the second means for loading a reducing agent or adjacent the second means for loading a reducing agent such that the catalyst is provided to the boiler or other fired vessel approximately simultaneously with the reducing agent from the second means for loading the reducing agent.

  • Patent number: 11238223
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing an interface that displays a prediction of remaining code segments of a code comprised of a sequence of code segments. The remaining code segments may be automatically predicted in response to the interface receiving a user's input of at least a portion of a code segment (or a user input of other data elements that are not code segments). Predicting the remaining code segments may be performed using a trained machine-learning model that can generate output(s) predictive of remaining code segments in response to a user inputting at least one code segment of a code into an input element of the interface.

  • Publication number: 20210131540
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for methods and devices that relate to a drive mechanism that can be used in an external heat engine to control the motion of the pistons and obtain increased engine power and/or efficiency. Through control of the piston motion a non-sinusoidal piston motion can be generated which can improve engine performance by enabling an engine to more closely follow an ideal thermodynamic cycle.

  • Publication number: 20190356934
    Abstract: System and methods for aligning event data recorded by recording devices. Recording devices create, transmit, and store alignment data. Alignment data created by a recording device is stored in the memory of the recording device with a time that is maintained by the recording device and that is relative to the time of event data recorded by the recording device that creates the alignment data. Recording devices further receive and store transmitted alignment data. Alignment data received by a recording device is stored in the memory of the recording device with a time that is maintained by the receiving recording device and that is relative to the time of event data recorded by the recording device that creates alignment data. Stored alignment data may be used to align the playback of event data of devices that have the same alignment data. Alignment data may include information as to the recording status of the device that transmits the alignment data. Recording status may be reported.

  • Patent number: 10424005
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for managing order processing and fallout are disclosed. One exemplary method includes processing, in accordance to an orchestration plan, an order entity containing an order item, wherein the orchestration plan is functioning on a processing layer executed by electronic order management system. The method further includes respectively receiving, from each of one or more orchestration order components associated with the orchestration plan, state information corresponding to a child order item contained in a child order entity, wherein the state information respectively received by each of the one or more orchestration order components is respectively reflected in an order component order item included within the one or more orchestration order components and determining a current processing state for the order item by aggregating the state information reflected in all of the order component order items.
