  • Patent number: 11351669
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for optimizing a number of robots for operation of a process at a target system. The method may include providing a plurality of available robots to carry out tasks in the process at the target system. The method may monitor the target system by carrying out the process or part of the process with a varying number of robots to determine the processor utilization whilst the robots are executing a varying number of tasks. The method may balance process constraints of the execution of the process with physical system constraints of the target system by measuring a relationship between a number of tasks at a transactional level and the processor utilization. The method may output the optimized number of robots to be allocated for the process or part of the process.

  • Publication number: 20080281605
    Abstract: The intent of the Process Loop Sheet is to convey information regarding how various pieces of equipment interact with a variable process design. For Instance, all Water and Wastewater Plants are designed to accommodate influent flow rates that are not consistent from one hour to the next. These flow rates are generally expressed as low flow rate, average daily flow rate, and maximum flow rate. In both types of plants there are generally pump stations, screenings and grit removal, clarifiers, filters, odor control, various types of chemical injections, and storage tanks. In addition there are typically local control panels communicating information about a particular process to a Central Control Room. Generally the major local control panels are provided with programmable logic controllers that interface through software with operator work stations that are located in the Central Control Room.

  • Patent number: 5961007
    Abstract: A dispensing package for cosmetic creams is disclosed. The dispensing package includes a container body having a first end and a second end. The container body includes a first inner perimeter adjacent the first end and a second inner perimeter adjacent the second end, wherein the first perimeter is larger than the second perimeter. The dispensing package also includes an elevator positioned within the container body for movement between the second end of the container body and the first end of the container body to force material held within the container body out the first end of the container body. The elevator includes an outer surface facing an inner wall of the container body and a sealing bead formed on the outer surface of the elevator. The sealing bead engages the inner wall of the container body adjacent the second end of the container body to form a seal permitting filling of the dispensing package and containment of product volatiles during storage and distribution.
