Abstract: A controller can be configured to control a system for extracting liquid water from air comprising a thermal unit, a primary desiccant wheel, and a regeneration fluid path. The controller can comprise a sensor, a motor, and a microcontroller coupled to the sensor and the motor. The microcontroller can be configured to determine a water extraction efficiency based on at least one signal received from the sensor, and also can be configured to maximize the water extraction efficiency by adjusting a speed of the motor in response to the determined water extraction efficiency.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating water for an end user are provided herein. The systems include a water generating unit that utilizes and/or controls internal heat sources, as well as external heat, electricity, and/or fluid sources, in response to ambient conditions. The systems may be monitored, optimized, and controlled remotely.

Abstract: A controller may control a system for extracting liquid water from air comprising a thermal unit, a primary desiccant wheel, and a regeneration fluid path. The controller may comprise a plurality of sensors, a plurality of motors, and a microcontroller coupled to the plurality of sensors and the plurality of motors. The microcontroller may be configured to determine a water extraction efficiency based on at least one signal received from at least one of the plurality of sensors and maximize the water extraction efficiency by adjusting a speed of at least one of the plurality of motors in response to the determined water extraction efficiency. The water extraction efficiency may be a value obtained by multiplying a regeneration fluid flow rate within the regeneration fluid path by an absolute humidity of air on a side of the primary desiccant wheel opposite a side in communication with the thermal unit.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a system operable to construct hierarchical training data sets for use with machine-learning for multiple controlled devices. Other embodiments of related systems and methods are also provided.

Abstract: A methodology for calculating insurance premium comprising receiving a set of insurance information from a user including a revenue of the organization, a self insured retention (SIR) of the organization, and a loss limit acceptable to the organization to determine a standard premium for the organization. Once the standard premium of the organization is determined, the methodology illustrates how to determine a regular premium based on the standard premium and the SIR of the organization. Finally, using the described methodology one can determine an excess premium based on the loss limit acceptable to the organization, the regular premium and the self insured retention of the organization. The method provides a powerful tool to manage various risks of an organization and at the same time control various factors determining the insurance premium of the organization.

Abstract: A wellness system monitors the controlled progress of patients under surveillance and includes a server base station which is generally off-site, a web-site interface and a local station at the point-of-use, which is generally a health or fitness center. A unique data base is created for each user and goals and objectives may be set with progress monitored. Typically, the user will respond to a survey or questionnaire to populate his specific database. This is combined with a professional assessment and an automated measurement of vital statistics such as weight, blood pressure and body composition as measured at the local station. Other data may be entered manually such as height, age and the like. In a more comprehensive system the invention is designed to monitor other data such as cholesterol and blood glucose, as well. The locally input data may be updated at will by the user or on behalf of the user by professional personnel.

Abstract: A scorer's table for sporting events including a table top supported by legs, and three panels mounted at the front of the table and extending downwardly to the floor. The center panel has a front surface with a message which is painted or otherwise permanently displayed, such as the logo of a sports team or the name of an arena. The two end panels, one on each side of the center panel, each have display screens operable to display virtually any type of graphic or word message. The display screens are independently controlled by an electronic controller which is programmable to produce a message on each of the display screens and then change such messages as desired during the course of the sports event.
