  • Publication number: 20250067153
    Abstract: A system for controlling carbon sequestration includes at least one emitter, at least one reservoir connected over a pipeline with the at least one emitter and configured to receive and store process fluid; at least one compressor unit configured to control a downstream pressure of the process fluid; at least one valve configured to control a flow of the process fluid; and an optimizer unit configured to: determine emitter output data by continuously logging emitter output levels of the process fluid of the of at least one emitter, determine future emitter output data using the determined emitter output data, and determine optimized control set-points for controlling the sequestration of the process fluid using the determined future emitter output data; wherein the optimized control set-points comprise compressor unit set-points for controlling the at least one compressor, and valve set-points for controlling the at least one valve.

  • Patent number: 4698779
    Abstract: A method of determining the coincidence of a subject area and a clip area in a graphic display system, comprising creating three parts list, one for parts of the subject area that are outside the clip area, a second for parts of the clip area that are inside the subject area and a third for overlapping lines. The parts of the subject area which lie outside the clip area are defined by examining the parts lists. The output can then be used to control a pen plotter, in which different colors are used so that underlying areas do not have to be linked over with overlay colors.
