The one or more processing circuits can receive a first input to control the first element to cause the first element to perform a first operation of the refuse vehicle, obtain first information to indicate a metric associated with an energy source of the hydraulic system, determine that a first amount of fluid power exceeds a fluid power threshold for the hydraulic system, and modify the first input to reduce a request from the first amount of fluid power to a second amount of fluid power.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a method for producing a product. For each sample chemical composition of sample chemical compositions, the method inputs into a first model chemoinformatic properties of ingredients of the sample chemical composition, and a value of a property of the sample chemical composition. A new chemical composition is determined via the first model based thereon. The method inputs into a second model, for each sample product of sample products, a value for one or more visual properties of a packaging of the sample product, and one or more characteristics of the new chemical composition. A value is determined for each of the visual properties via the second model. A new product is produced comprising the new chemical composition and packaging comprising the values.

Abstract: An instrument for the mechanical removal of corrosive buildup, deposits or scale from within a wellbore. A tubing-conveyed scraping blade and/or other abrading devices (50) has a collapsible maximum outer diameter by using a multi-bar mechanism (53, 54) to ensure physical contact with corrosive buildup, deposits or scale on surfaces of a surrounding wellbore, oil and gas tubular, or drilling/production marine riser (and, in particular, inner surfaces thereof). The multi-bar mechanism allows for a wide range of motion irrespective of the direction of loading and variable maximum outer diameter to clean corrosive buildup, deposits or scale from tubular goods with unknown configurations and/or dimensions.

Abstract: An apparatus that is usable with a well includes a body, a blocking member, a sensor, a radially expandable element and a controller. The body includes a longitudinal passageway that extends through the body, and the blocking member is disposed in the passageway to check fluid from flowing in a predefined direction through the passageway. The sensor is disposed on the body to sense a property of an environment of the string as the object is being communicated through the passageway; the radially expandable element is disposed on the body; and the controller is disposed on the body to selectively autonomously control the expandable element to land the body in a downhole restriction in response to the sensing.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an apparatus comprising a slider. The slider comprises a substrate comprising a media-facing surface, a first side surface perpendicular to the media-facing surface, and a second side surface opposite the first side surface. A heat sink layer is formed proximate to and thermally coupled to the first side surface of the substrate. A write transducer comprises a waveguide core that at least partially extends from the top surface to the media-facing surface. The waveguide core is formed proximate to and thermally coupled to the heat sink layer. A read transducer is formed proximate to the write transducer such that the read transducer is closer to a trailing edge of the slider than the write transducer.

A plurality of contact sensors are positioned proximate the plurality of writers and the reader. The contact sensors are coupled together and to a pair of electrical bond pads of the head and configured to sense for head-disk contact at each of the close points.

Abstract: A fluid (30) of optically clear composition is used to create a viewing window within a wellbore (1), pipelines, tanks, vessels, or any other similar environment. Selective placement of optically clear fluid facilitates acquisition of visual images and/or other data in particular areas of interest within environments containing opaque or non-transparent fluids. Such optically clear fluid can displace opaque fluids and gases, while maintaining specific viscosity, weight, and other fluid properties in order to keep opaque fluids from encroaching into a viewing area while visual data acquisition is performed.
