Abstract: A computer-implemented method for facilitating opportunistic screening for cardiomegaly includes obtaining a set of computed tomography (CT) images. The set of CT images captures at least a portion of a heart of a patient, and the set of CT images is captured for a purpose independent of assessing cardiomegaly. The method further includes using the set of CT images as an input to an artificial intelligence (AI) module configured to determine a heart measurement based on CT image set input. The method also includes obtaining heart measurement output generated by the AI module and, based on the heart measurement output, classifying the patient into one of a plurality of risk levels for cardiomegaly. The classification is operable to trigger additional action based on the corresponding risk level for the patient.

Abstract: A method of separating trichomes from cannabis plant flowers that begins with delivering the cannabis plant material to a hopper and continuously moving the cannabis material from the hopper to a porous container in a bath of cold water, at a controllable rate, and moving the cannabis material contained in the porous container, through the cold bath from an entrance end, to an exit end, thereby removing trichomes, which exit the porous container into the cold water. The remaining cannabis plant material is moved out of the exit end of the bath, at substantially the same rate as the cannabis plant material enters the bath. Finally, the water from the bath is substantially continuously filtered thereby separating the trichomes from the cold water.

Abstract: A method of degrading 1,4-dioxane in the wastewater produced during the manufacture of alkyl ether sulfates is disclosed. The method includes the steps of (a) mixing from 100 to 10,000 ppm, preferably 1,000 to 4,000 ppm of ozone with the wastewater; (b) introducing H2O2 into the wastewater in an amount of 0.01 to 10, preferably 0.1 to 0.5 molar equivalents of H2O2 to ozone, and (c) mixing the ozone, H2O2, and wastewater to generate hydroxyl radicals reactive with the 1,4-dioxane, without the addition of a metal catalyst. The hydroxyl radicals react with the 1,4-dioxane and degrade it into carbon dioxide, water and/or carbonate. The method is effective to reduce a concentration of 1,4-dioxane in the wastewater from a range of about 10 ppm to about 1000 ppm of dioxane down to less than 5 ppb of 1,4-dioxane after treatment. The method is also effective for removing hydrocarbon species that may be present in the wastewater.
