Abstract: An application server provides an application to client devices. Users of the client devices interact with the application to perform a business process. Data regarding user interactions with the application is transmitted from the client devices to the application server. Based on an analysis of the received data, a bot generation server generates a bot to automate a process step. The bot generation server provides a heatmap user interface (UI) that provides information regarding the process steps. Using the heatmap UI, the administrator selects a process step for automation. In response to the selection, the hot generation server identifies, based on the observed behavior, relationships between input fields, typical values for input fields, typical order of data entry into input fields, or any suitable combination thereof. Based on the identified patterns, the hot generation server generates a bot to automate some or all of the process step.

Abstract: Described herein are various embodiments of a valve that may be opened and closed using a thixotropic or “stress yield” material, or other material that temporarily changes phase upon application of energy to the material. More particularly, some embodiments may include a valve that is opened and closed using a granular gel that is a temporary phase change material.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modeling and analyzing utility structures according to applied loads. Particularly, a model engine can utilize inputs related to a utility structure, environmental conditions to which the utility structure is subjected, and engineering standards expected of the utility structure, and analyze the structure's loading and performance based on analysis configuration inputs. An engine or multiple engines can be run locally, or can be instantiated in a cloud to assist with multiple or complex calculations. Hybrid and geometric non-linear analyses and outputs can be performed or provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically modeling and depicting overall emissions of the aviation industry and changes thereto when taking into account, for example, traffic growth and introduction of sustainability strategies, such as new and/or improved technologies, an increase in operational efficiency, and carbon offsets. Using the dynamic tool described herein, users can define scenarios on how to reduce emissions through the introduction of different sustainability strategies, both statically and over time, analyze the impact of those strategies on emissions, and understand the dependencies between select strategies.

Abstract: A system for preserving and disinfecting perishables or other items, equipment or objects. In example forms, a humidification and treatment system includes an electrolysis device for converting a supply of water into hydrogenated sterilized water, and the hydrogenated sterilized water is discharged into an environment in the form of a mist and/or a fog to disinfect, clean, preserve and/or hydrate the perishables and/or the environment associated therewith.
