Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating missing master formulation records. An embodiment operates by receiving recipe data for a compounded preparation or drug product. The embodiment compares using a first artificial intelligence (AI) engine the recipe data with stored recipe data to determine whether a master formulation record corresponding to the recipe data is available. The embodiment generates, using a second AI engine, the master formulation record for the compounded preparation or drug product based on a determination that the master formulation record corresponding to the recipe data is not available. The embodiment receives an input comprising an approval or a correction for the generated master formulation record. The embodiment retrains the second AI engine based on the input. The embodiment finally generates, using the retrained second AI engine, a missing master formulation record for another recipe data.

Abstract: A molten metal conveyor having a receptor plate in contact with molten metal during transport of the molten metal. The receptor plate extends from an entrance where molten metal enters onto the receptor plate to an exit where molten metal exits the receptor plate. The molten metal conveyor has at least one vibrational energy source which supplies vibrational energy directly to the receptor plate in contact with molten metal. A corresponding method for forming a metal product includes providing molten metal onto a molten conveyor; cooling the molten metal by control of a cooling medium flowing through a cooling passage in the or attached to the conveyor; and coupling vibrational energy directly into a receptor plate in contact with the molten metal on the conveyor.
