  • Publication number: 20240245582
    Abstract: Systems and methods for distribution, storage, transport, administration and/or disposal of one or more therapeutic or diagnostic agents are disclosed. A storage device configured to connect to a delivery system for delivering the therapeutic or diagnostic agent has a housing with a chamber, a vessel having an access port positioned within the chamber. The door is movable relative to the housing between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the door covers an opening in the housing to enclose the chamber, and, in the open position, the door reveals the opening for accessing the access port of the vessel. The door is moveable between the closed position and the open position in response to actuation by an access mechanism of the delivery system.

  • Publication number: 20240243965
    Abstract: Computational algorithms or “solvers” may be executed on intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) in an electric power delivery system to perform tasks such as locating and isolating electrical faults and restoring service to an area after an electrical fault occurs. However, executing the solvers may become a computationally prohibitive task, particularly where computing power is limited (e.g., low-power pole-top computers). In certain embodiments, computing power may be offloaded onto multi-instance networks that may enable processing of large amounts of complex data. It may be difficult for the multi-instance networks to obtain real-time or near real-time data from the electric power delivery system due to cybersecurity concerns. As such, multiple stateless services may be used to evaluate limited and/or obfuscated representations of a portion (e.g., a single feeder circuit) of the electric power delivery system.

  • Publication number: 20240243573
    Abstract: A distributed control system based on numerous models of small-scale subsystems within power delivery and/or distribution systems may increase the performance of solvers, automation algorithms, and control systems. By implementing multiple discrete control system models and effectuating simple communications (e.g., requests and responses for additional electric power) between the multiple discrete control system models, the processing power and time associated with modeling the power system and responding to events occurring within the power system may be reduced, and greater flexibility and modularity may be provided to the power delivery and distribution systems.

  • Publication number: 20240189768
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for capturing carbon dioxide and permanently sequestering carbon dioxide in the form of Group II metal carbonates. The invention involves production of HCl by reacting steam with a material that includes a magnesium chloride hydrate. The HCl that is generated from this process is used to leach Group II mineral salts from a variety of different materials, including minerals and industrial waste materials. The leached Group II mineral salts are used to capture carbon dioxide by forming Group II mineral salt carbonates.

  • Publication number: 20240009622
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods of removing carbon dioxide from a gaseous stream using magnesium hydroxide and then regenerating the magnesium hydroxide. In some embodiments, the systems and methods can further comprise using the waste heat from one or more gas streams to provide some or all of the heat needed to drive the reactions. In some embodiments, magnesium chloride is primarily in the form of magnesium chloride dihydrate and is fed to a decomposition reactor to generate magnesium hydroxychloride, which is in turn fed to a second decomposition reactor to generate magnesium hydroxide.

  • Patent number: 10195470
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for demand-based control of a cold water spray system of an exhaust ventilation system. Embodiments include determining a demand load of a cooking appliance that generates cooking effluent in a vicinity of an exhaust hood, and determining a temperature of water in the cold water spray system. The cold water spray system is controlled in response to at least one of the determined appliance demand load and the determined temperature of water in the cold water spray system to maintain a low temperature of water in the cold water spray system below a predetermined temperature threshold, thereby enabling efficient removal of contaminants from the exhaust hood by the cold water spray system.

  • Patent number: 10107904
    Abstract: X-band and P-band synthetic aperture radars are used to simultaneously gather swaths of reflected radar data over a specific area simultaneously. The P-band is used to penetrate surface clutter that may be on the top of an ice formation as well as to penetrate an ice mass. X-band is used to map surface clutter on the top of an ice formation as well as to map the top of snow that may appear on an ice formation. Digital elevation maps of the top of the snow or ice clutter, the top of the ice, and the bottom of the ice and or ice thickness are constructed. By summing these various digital elevation maps a measurement of the thickness of sea ice can be determined. Further analysis of DEM, MAG and CRV layers provides an indication of the quality of the ice, for example cracks and pressure ridges, and its weak points.
