Abstract: Systems and devices for airflow measurements in rooms and air delivery ducts with low-cost, low-power, accurate, calibration-free, and compact wireless airflow sensors are provided. The system uses room and duct flow sonic anemometers and processing to measure air velocities and temperatures as well as allow control over the environmental conditioning systems. The anemometers use arrays of transmitter/receivers to simultaneously measure multiple sound paths and determine velocity vectors and volumetric flow paths. By transmitting in both directions along the paths between transceivers, differential times of flight (TOF) are measured. These determine both the velocity and temperature of the air along each path.

Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and computer program products for performing medical procedures are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a system for processing medical image data is configured to receive image data of a patient's anatomy. The system can select a first section of the image data, each image interval in the first section having an interval size within a predetermined size range. The system can identify a second section of the image data including at least one image interval having an interval size outside the predetermined size range. The system can generate a resampled second section by adding, deleting, and/or resampling one or more interpolated images in the second section, such that each image interval in the resampled second section has an interval size within the predetermined size range. The system can output a combined section including the first section and the resampled second section.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of chemical engineering, and specifically discloses a method for removing oxygenated compounds from a Fischer-Tropsch oil having a high carbon number. A reaction-extraction combined process is used in this method for removing oxygenated compounds from a Fischer-Tropsch oil having a high carbon number, wherein the Fischer-Tropsch oil (C5-C20) is firstly subjected to alkaline washing with an alkaline aqueous solution to convert acidic substances into water-soluble salts. The Fischer-Tropsch oil is subjected to a primary extraction with a carbonate-based extractant to remove alcohols and esters therein, and subsequently subjected to a secondary extraction with propylene carbonate to remove ketones and aldehydes impurities therein, thereby removing oxygenated compounds in the Fischer-Tropsch oil. After extraction, the content of the oxygenated compounds in the Fischer-Tropsch oil may be down to 1-60 ppm, and the yield of oil product may be kept 90% or more.
