  • Publication number: 20240095416
    Abstract: In various embodiments a computer-implemented method for providing sustainability insights to a user designing an object. The method includes determining a first value of a sustainability metric associated with a design of an object, displaying, via a graphical user interface (GUI), a visual indication of the first value of the sustainability metric, and detecting a change to the design of the object. The method further includes, in response to detecting the change to the design of the object, determining a second value of the sustainability metric and displaying, via the GUI, a visual indication of the second value of the sustainability metric.

  • Patent number: 10810362
    Abstract: An information collection module receives an incident report request from a user of a browser running a network application on a client system to thereby provide a page in the browser. The information collection module collects incident data including user interactions with the page, client system features and operations associated with executing the network application, and a document object model (DOM) of the page. An annotation tool of the network application receives annotations of the page from the user for inclusion in the incident data, and a server-side incident manager receives the incident data. The server-side incident manager includes a rendering engine that renders the document object model and the annotations, and an incident analyzer that displays the collected user interactions, and client system features and operations, and the rendered document object model and annotations.

  • Publication number: 20180259184
    Abstract: A method of improving natural draft fire tube burner efficiency by controlling combustion air flow. The method involves positioning in a fire tube an air damper body comprising a fixed plate having a plurality of air flow openings and a rotatable plate having a plurality of air flow openings. Air flow through the air damper body is controlled by adjusting the relative rotational position of the fixed plate and the rotatable plate. The air damper body has an air inlet face, an air outlet face, and an outer circumference. The method involves establishing and maintaining a relationship between an air damper open area, firing rate and excess air to maintain stack oxygen below 3% in accordance with a formula A2+A3<DR×FR×A1.

  • Patent number: 9757478
    Abstract: A polynucleotide encoding a biosensor polypeptide comprising a modified circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase and a linker linking the C-terminal portion of the thermostable luciferase to the N-terminal portion of the thermostable luciferase. The modified circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase is modified relative to a parental circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase. The linker contains a sensor region capable of interacting with a target molecule in a cell. The modified circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase has an enhanced response after interaction of the biosensor with the target molecule relative to the parental circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase in the presence of the target molecule. Alternatively, the modified circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase has an enhanced response after interaction of the biosensor with the target molecule relative to the modified circularly-permuted thermostable luciferase in the absence of the target molecule.
