Abstract: An online monitoring device for fouling and slagging based on capacitance principle differential measurement includes multiple measuring devices arranged at the same height of the boiler heating surface. Each measuring device includes a fixed sleeve and a sensor, one end of the fixed sleeve is fixed on the boiler heating surface, the sensor is connected with the fixed sleeve through screw threads, the end of the sensor near the boiler is equipped with a measuring probe. When measuring the thickness of ash residue on the monitoring surface, three sets of the measuring devices are at the same height of the monitoring surface. Each sensor is adjusted at a different position in the corresponding fixed sleeve to realize the differential measuring on ash residue thickness. Thus, the thickness of ash residue on the monitoring surface can be calculated based on the measured capacitance by applying the capacitance formula of planar capacitor.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of stratifying a population of patients into disease endotypes is provided. The method comprises: encoding data relating to the patients as latent variables; determining one or more importance measures of the latent variables; prioritising the latent variables using the importance measures; interpreting one or more of the ranked latent variables; and identifying a disease endotype that is represented by one or more of the interpreted latent variables.

Abstract: A method for continuous High Internal Phase Emulsion (HIPE) foam production. A HIPE is produced then extruded onto a belt. After polymerization, a portion of the saturated aqueous phase is removed using a vacuum box. A nip insert is inserted under the vacuum box to raise the vacuum box leading to improved uniformity of the HIPE in the cross direction along the belt.
