Abstract: An example apparatus includes interface circuitry, machine-readable instructions, and at least one processor circuit to be programmed by the machine-readable instructions to identify crosstalk between a first signal via and a second signal via on a printed circuit board (PCB) layout, determine an area for placement of a ground via between the first signal via and the second signal via, and classify one or more regions of the PCB layout into at least one of a protective area or a non-protective area based on the area for placement of the ground via.

Abstract: A novel emissions control watercraft (STAXcraft) solving a long-felt but unsolved need regarding disadvantages associated with prior-art emissions servicing watercraft, the disadvantages selected from the group, but not limited to, the use of tugboats, securing or mooring servicing watercraft to a serviced vessel, additional expenses and time-delays and inefficiencies of land-based approaches, increased toxic emissions, increased greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, danger from falling cargo, tanker safety, alongside mooring in narrow channels preventing other OGV's to pass safely, and cargo tank emissions.

Abstract: An oceangoing vessel exhaust pipe coupling used to temporarily couple to an oceangoing vessel exhaust pipe. Installation and removal of the coupling only requires a simple mechanism with three translational degrees of freedom and one rotational degree of freedom, thereby enabling remote coupling. The coupling adapts to a wide array of exhaust pipe shapes and sizes. This is accomplished by a unique shape that allows stable and balanced resting position on top of an exhaust pipe as well as a two-chamber configuration, wherein the two chambers are separated by a permeable partition. Furthermore, the unique shapes of the chambers deflect the exhaust gas stream towards the outlet of the coupling, regardless of exhaust pipe style, thereby increasing capture efficiency and extending the life of an attached fabric flexible hose.

Abstract: A customer order prediction system can include a computing device configured to obtain customer order data characterizing a customer’s interaction with an electronic marketplace and to obtain environmental data characterizing at least one event expected to effect the customer’s ordering behavior. The computing device can be further configured to generate feature data based on the customer data and the environmental data wherein the feature data organizes the customer data and the environmental data based on characteristics of an order size estimation model. The computing device is also configured to determine a predicted customer order size using the order size estimation model and to adjust a delivery availability of the electronic marketplace based on the predicted order size.

Abstract: An approach generates a speed profile for one or more delivery locations. The speed profile corresponds to location data of a delivery order for a respective delivery location, and indicates a plurality of events associated with a movement of a delivery order to the respective delivery location. The approach generates, based on the speed profile and location data corresponding to the delivery order, feature data of the respective delivery location. The approach applies a machine learning model to the generated feature data to output a door-step time prediction for the respective delivery location. The door-step time prediction is based on a time difference between timestamps of two events of the plurality of events associated with the movement of the delivery order. The approach generates a planned delivery route for the one or more delivery locations, based on the one or more delivery locations and respective the door-step time predictions.

Abstract: STAXLINK™ is a duct system and method for conveying exhaust gas from an exhaust pipe of an emissions source to a purification unit during an Emissions Reduction as a Service (ERaaS) operation. Example emissions sources include oceangoing vessels and buildings structures. The duct is temporarily installed onto the emissions source without a crane. The duct is supported by the emissions source itself for the duration of the ERaaS operation.

Abstract: Given that power blackouts occur very infrequently, a TRANSportable GENset emissions reduction system (XGEN) that fixes a larger and more significant problem of reducing emissions from routine periodic testing of gensets, whereas the system may be scheduled to be shared by a multitude of gensets, thereby reducing costs through efficient use of capital expenditures while also increasing the quality of emissions reductions as compared to applying individual exhaust treatments each genset.

Abstract: A multi-circuit system for temporarily connecting to a plurality of exhaust pipes of an oceangoing vessel at berth or at anchor and treating captured exhaust gas. Each circuit includes an exhaust gas processing system, a duct system to reach from the processing system to an exhaust pipe; a duct inlet port for attachment to a connector receiving exhaust gas from an exhaust pipe. A positioning system supports the duct systems and connectors in a ganged relationship and positions the duct systems and connectors in a temporary operational position and in a non-operational position. In another embodiment, blower controller is responsive to a pressure measurement at the duct inlet port or the connector to control a blower speed to set or maintain the pressure to a desired pressure.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a servicing watercraft that may be safely secured to a serviced watercraft. The servicing watercraft comprises at least one auxiliary section that may be positioned to either a) increase the effective width of the servicing watercraft thus reducing rolling motion while the servicing watercraft is stationary or in operation, OR b) decrease the width of the servicing watercraft thus reducing drag while the watercraft is moving through the water. Furthermore, the auxiliary section(s) help the servicing watercraft to be positioned in an optimum location adjacent to the serviced watercraft as to avoid impact from accidently dropped cargo or shipping containers from the serviced watercraft.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a self-propelled emissions control servicing watercraft that does not require transportation by tugboat and utilizes a hydraulic power unit that supplies hydraulic power to a hydraulic positioning arm during “service mode” and alternately uses the same hydraulic power unit to supply hydraulic power to hydraulic propulsion thrusters during “mobile mode”.

The first end is integrally formed with the receiver body and includes a first outer face and a rail interface that facilitates receiving a clamping mount of a gunstock between side edges of the rail interface and the first outer face. The rail interface has a plurality of flats disposed along a first plane that is transverse and non-perpendicular to the axis. The top end, the two opposing sidewall, and the first end form trough extending transverse to the axis.
