Abstract: Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.

Abstract: Systems for producing M yarns, wherein M?1, include N extruders, M spin stations, and a processor, wherein N>1. Each extruder includes a polymer having a color, hue, luster, and/or dyeability characteristic, which are different from each other. Each spin station produces one yarn comprising at least one bundle of filaments. Each spin station comprises at least one spinneret through which filaments are spun from at least two molten polymer streams received by the respective spin station and N spin pumps upstream of the spinneret for the respective spin station. Each spin pump is paired with one of the N extruders. The processor is in electrical communication with the N*M spin pumps and is configured to adjust the volumetric flow rate of the polymers pumped from each spin pump to achieve a ratio of the polymers to be included in each M yarn.

Abstract: Systems and methods for color correcting images are described. An example method includes receiving, at a first and second time: first and second image data from an imaging device of a medical imaging system captured during a medical procedure; and a first and second value of an operating parameter of a light source of the medical imaging system, where a color of light emitted from the light source shifts based on values of the operating parameter. A first color shift is determined based on the first value, and a color correction function is applied to the first image data to compensate for the first color shift to generate first color corrected image data. A second color shift is determined based on the second value, and the color correction function is applied to the second image data to compensate for the second color shift to generate second color corrected image data.

Abstract: In some examples, a system uses a first computational model to determine individual merchants that are predicted to receive orders during an upcoming time period. The system determines respective indicated geographic locations of a plurality of delivery agent devices associated with a plurality of delivery agents. Based at least on the first computational model predicting that a first merchant of the individual merchants is predicted to receive an order for the upcoming time period, delivery agent management logic is executed to receive the current locations of the active delivery agents and select a delivery agent to move to a location to be in position for picking up the order that is predicted to be received by the first merchant. The system sends a message to the delivery agent device of the selected delivery agent to instruct the selected delivery agent to move to the location.

Abstract: In some examples, a service provider may determine that multiple merchants are within a threshold distance of each other. The service provider may send, to a buyer, item information about items offered by the multiple merchants. Further, based at least in part on the multiple merchants having been determined to be within the threshold distance of each other, the item information sent to the buyer may indicate that orders for items provided by the multiple merchants are available for combined delivery, e.g., as a single combined order. A first courier stationed near the merchants may pick up the items from the merchants and may handoff the items to a second courier who delivers the items to the buyer. Additionally, in some cases, the preparation of the multiple items may be timed to so that the items are ready for pickup at approximately the same time.
