Abstract: Described is a rotary coupling that includes a pair of coupling bodies having parallel (preferably coincident) rotation axes, two cylindrical elements and a preload mechanism. A gap is provided between surfaces on the first and second coupling bodies. The first cylindrical element is disposed on the first coupling body and has a first cylinder axis, and the second cylindrical element is disposed on the second coupling body adjacent to the first cylindrical element and has a second cylinder axis that is perpendicular to the first cylinder axis.

The analytical metric study engine performs analytical analysis on the field elements present in the generated mapping and uses machine learning and previous data log to generate recommendations for the database. The derived record construction engine involves a deep learning model to generate relevant and usable data metrics based on the generated recommendations, which is then mapped to the relational database to generate augmented and enriched database.

The engine receives an audio sample indicative of voice conversation between an end user and a bot and transforms it into quantifiable and machine-ingestible power spectrum and acoustic indicators that uniquely represent the audio sample in the form of a feature vector. The optimizer ingests and processes the indicators to estimate likelihood of an attribute value representing the audio sample by constructing a convolutional neural network model for each attribute category. The optimizer establishes user persona attribute values across different attribute categories for the audio sample based on the estimated likelihood.

An antifoulant additive for preventing caustic induced fouling of thermal cracker furnace tubes is disclosed. The described antifoulant additive acts by converting the inorganic caustic compound such as NaOH to naphthenate salt of the metal as well as by reducing the fouling tendency of the whole feedstock, thereby making it ineffective in causing coking reaction. The additive finds application in thermal residue upgradation furnaces such as delayed coking unit, visbreaker, etc.
