Abstract: The carbon capture system includes a wind turbine, a direct-air capture (DAC) system, and a processor. The wind turbine has a first location and/or a first position. The processor is communicatively coupled to the DAC system. The processor is configured to input a wind turbine wake from the wind turbine and/or incident carbon dioxide profile, execute an algorithm to determine a wind velocity and/or a concentration of the carbon dioxide in the wind turbine wake, and output a second location and/or a second position of the DAC system. The second location and/or the second position of the DAC system is optimized to enhance the quantity of carbon dioxide captured from to the wind turbine.

Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to an air-fluid separator device comprising a plurality of uniquely designed separator components cooperatively arranged to define a pathway through which untreated and potentially contaminated air flows and undergoes treatment in which contaminants, which may be in the form of fluid-based contaminants, are removed from the air before the air is reused (e.g., returned to an intake manifold of an engine).

Abstract: In some examples, a processor determines a patient state based on activity of a bioelectrical brain signal of a patient in one or more frequency sub-bands of a frequency band of interest. For example, a processor may determine a patient state based on the power level of a bioelectrical brain signal of the patient in one or more frequency sub-bands of a frequency band, or based on a spectral pattern of a bioelectrical brain signal in a frequency band, such as a shift in a power distribution between sub-bands, a change in the peak frequency within one or more sub-bands, a pattern of the power distribution over one or more frequency sub-bands, or a width or a variability of one or more sub-bands exhibiting a relatively high or low level of activity.

Abstract: A simulation system provides real-time, flexible, and accurate simulations of radiological scenarios that can provide robust and valuable training experience to users. A radiological scenario simulation provided by a simulation system includes simulated neutron and gamma measurements provided by a neutron simulation service and a gamma simulation service, respectively. Each of the neutron simulation service and the gamma simulation service perform accelerated computational techniques to provide the simulation results to the radiological scenario simulation in real-time. In particular, the neutron simulation service performs a particle-wise simulation with an optimized number of neutron particles, scales detector objects to an increased size, and models fission behavior for a source object based on simulated neutron particles being scattered back into the source object.

Abstract: A system identifying a source of radiation is provided. The system includes a radiation source detector and a radiation source identifier. The radiation source detector receives measurements of radiation; for one or more sources, generates a detection metric indicating whether that source is present in the measurements; and evaluates the detection metrics to detect whether a source is present in the measurements. When the presence of a source in the measurements is detected, the radiation source identifier for one or more sources, generates an identification metric indicating whether that source is present in the measurements; generates a null-hypothesis metric indicating whether no source is present in the measurements; evaluates the one or more identification metrics and the null-hypothesis metric to identify the source, if any, that is present in the measurements.

Abstract: The brake adjustment device positions the brake pedal according to user customization. A base secures to the braking system of the vehicle. An adjustable arm provides two ends, a first end that attaches to the base and a second end that attaches to the brake pedal. The attachment of the base and the adjustable arm adjusts to vary the distance between the attachment end of the base and the attachment end of the adjustable arm. Increasing the distance between the attachment end of the base and the attachment end of the adjustable arm raises the brake pedal. Decreasing the distance between the attachment end of the base and the attachment end of the adjustable arm lowers the brake pedal.
