Abstract: A temperature control system for a controlled environment room comprises a room evaporator, a variable speed compressor, and a condenser. A fluid return loop connects an outlet of the room evaporator refrigerant through the compressor, the condenser and back to an inlet of the room evaporator. A metering valve is interposed in the fluid return loop between the condenser and the room evaporator. Return air from the room is cycled through the room evaporator and back into the room. A room temperature sensor inside the room communicates with a control unit adapted to use input from the room temperature sensor to adjust the compressor speed and control the metering valve to meter mass flow to the room evaporator whereby the metering valve and the compressor cooperate to maintain the mass flow at a level required to maintain a temperature setpoint of the room while limiting compressor frequency.

Abstract: Systems, computer products, and methods are described herein for improved authentication utilizing two factor authentication of a user. The two factors include a verified identification and a liveness identification. The verified identification may be a governmental verified identification, and the liveness identification may be a video of the user. The user may capture the verified identification and the liveness identification using the user's mobile device. The organization may authenticate the user by identifying the user from the verified identification image and identifying that the user is active by identifying movement from the liveness identification image. Additional authentication may include requiring and/or identifying an identifier from the liveness identification image (e.g., movement, object, characters, or the like), and/or capture image data related to a time or a location at which the images were captured.

Abstract: Combustion sections and sealing systems for fuel ignition assemblies of gas turbine engine combustion sections are provided. For example, a sealing system comprises a ferrule positioned on an outer surface of a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) combustor liner an aperture defined in the CMC liner; a sleeve positioned within an adapter of the fuel ignition assembly such that an inner end portion of the sleeve is in contact with the ferrule, the sleeve having an end wall that forms an inner boundary of a cavity defined by the sleeve; and a biasing member positioned within the cavity. The biasing member extends between a bushing and the end wall of the sleeve. The biasing member continuously urges the sleeve into contact with the ferrule to seal the aperture against fluid leakage therethrough. The exemplary sealing system may be part of a fuel ignition assembly of a gas turbine engine combustion section.

Abstract: A balance or flow limiting valve features a valve body/member having a flow rate indicator/scale containing setting having printed flow rates calibrated in units of measure in volume per time increment between a minimum flow rate position (MIN) and a maximum flow rate position (MAX); and a knob/handle having a position indicator and being moveable to any continuous position on the flow rate indicator/scale between MIN and MAX in response to a user applied force, where the relationship between the flow rate indicator/scale and the position indicator is based on calibrated flow characteristics of the balance or flow limiting valve. The user can set an exact desired flow rate in one operation by moving the knob/handle to a desired position between MIN and MAX without consulting a printed flow curve or balance calculator to determine the desired exact flow rate.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for forming a patient-specific surgical implant based on mold system. The apparatus comprises a forming tool and a mold that may be generated using imaging and processing techniques and rapid prototyping methods. The mold apparatus includes at least two non-adjacent surface features for securing an implant forming material (such as a titanium mesh) during the forming process, enabling the implant forming material to be stretched beyond its elastic and thus permanently deformed with the correct patient-specific curvature. The implant may include one or more anatomic surface features for guidance and registration when transferring the implant to a patient.
