Abstract: A method for establishing a corrosion protection system for an air cooled condenser is disclosed. The method includes receiving data associated with the physical properties and chemical process conditions of the air cooled condenser, utilizing a chemical process modeling component to simulate conditions of the air cooled condenser, and identifying an optimized corrosion protection system based on an evaluation of iteratively altered input variables.

Abstract: An adapter for a sliding head of a sample processing system is provided that includes a plate and a magnet mounting recess wall. The plate includes a top surface, a bottom surface, a front wall extending between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a back wall extending between the top surface and the bottom surface. The magnet mounting recess wall is mounted to the top surface. The magnet mounting recess wall is configured to accommodate a magnet of a sliding head of a sample processing system. At least a portion of the bottom surface is curved in a first direction from the front wall to the back wall and is concave relative to the top surface.

Abstract: A sample plate includes a top surface, a plurality of wells, and a plurality of reservoirs. The plurality of wells is mounted to the top surface. Each well includes a well bottom surface and a well wall extending up from the well bottom surface. The plurality of reservoirs is mounted to the top surface. Each reservoir includes a reservoir bottom surface, a reservoir wall extending from a first side of the reservoir bottom surface, and the well wall extending from a second side of the reservoir bottom surface. Each reservoir of the plurality of reservoirs surrounds a corresponding well of the plurality of wells.

Abstract: A controller controls a sequence of actions at a device. The controller includes computer instructions that receive a plurality of user inputs and command information associated with an action for the device to perform. The first user input defines a target in a bed layout of the device. The second user input assigns the target to a first zone of the bed layout. The third user input assigns the target to a second zone of the bed layout. The fourth user input indicates an operational mode for controlling performance of the action. The operational mode includes a non-validation mode defining a state of operation wherein a device limitation is not imposed to restrict the action. The command information includes a command name identifying the action and a device identifier.
