  • Publication number: 20240182835
    Abstract: Systems and methods relating to dynamic spargers for generating fine bubbles within reactors such as biological and chemical reactors. A sparger system is positioned within a reactor and comprises a support plate, multiple annular shrouds engaged with the support plate, and spargers positioned within the annular shrouds defining a gap between an interior surface of the annular shroud and an exterior surface of the corresponding sparger. Liquid flows through the defined gap between an interior surface of the annular shroud and an exterior surface of the sparger. Acceleration of the liquid through the gap shears bubbles at the exterior surface of the sparger creating bubbles or fine bubbles.

  • Publication number: 20240115455
    Abstract: A mobility device configurable in a first walk configuration and a second stair-climb configuration, including a frame with movable front leg portions, a leg-actuation system connected to the front leg portions and a safety-control device mounted to the frame. The safety-control device includes a configuration selector, and a lever connected to the leg-actuation system and configured to actuate the cable actuation system so as to cause the first and second movable leg portions to move from a first position to a second position. The lever remains locked in a first lever position such that the lever cannot be moved unless the configuration selector is in a depressed position, thereby preventing inadvertent movement of the leg portion.

  • Patent number: 11503117
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for applying deductive artificial intelligence (AI) attribution and auditability to data inputs, wherein the deductive AI may account for ontologies and competing system information, and wherein the deductive AI attribution and auditability may be applied to the data inputs by user workflow. The data inputs applied with the deductive AI attribution and auditability may be processed via a feedback loop to align a sense-understand-decide-act (SUDA) understanding with an inductive AI understanding. The inductive AI may be automated via the feedback loop based upon, at least in part, an AI expert system processing of the data inputs. One or more policy based rules may be developed for user automation authorization based upon, at least in part, the feedback loop.

  • Patent number: 11221376
    Abstract: A load bank for testing power sources includes a load resistor assembly having a plurality of resistors which can be switched between wye and delta configurations for testing a variety of voltages and power sources requiring various load applications. First and second power connections are connected with primary and redundant power sources and a relay alternately connects the first and second power connections with the load resistor assembly for alternately testing the primary and redundant power sources while maintaining the sources electrically isolated. A damper is arranged adjacent the load resistor assembly and is operable between an open position which permits cold air to be delivered to the load resistor assembly to cool the assembly when the load bank is operating and a closed position which prevents hot air from being recirculated when the load bank is not operating.

  • Patent number: 10750360
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for coordinating a plurality of node clusters. A mesh topology may be applied across the plurality of node clusters for a plurality of data packets transported through multiple upstream and downstream paths in the plurality of node clusters. Latency may be accounted for in the mesh topology between a first portion of data packets of the plurality of data packets delivered through network independent node clusters of the plurality of node clusters. Latency may be accounted for in the mesh topology between a second portion of data packets of the plurality of data packets delivered through network dependent node clusters of the plurality of node clusters. Data associated with the plurality of data packets may be synchronized by applying the mesh topology across a centralized topology of containers associated with the plurality of node clusters, wherein the mesh topology maintains asymmetric redundancy of the centralized topology of containers.
