Abstract: This application relates to the technical field of coal-fired boilers, and provides a method and an apparatus for improving steam oxidation resistance of a small-diameter boiler tube in a coal-fired boiler. The method includes the following steps: cutting a boiler tube panel from a ceiling of the boiler, vertically hoisting and fixing the boiler tube panel, and cutting out a section from a bottom portion of a lower bend of the boiler tube panel; cleaning an inner tube wall of each tube body in the boiler tube panel; performing oxidation resistance coating sintering on the inner tube wall of each tube body in the boiler tube panel; and performing a welding repair on each tube body in a sintered boiler tube panel. All construction processes of this method can be completed in a furnace during shutdown and maintenance, production efficiency is high, and maintenance duration can be significantly reduced.

Abstract: A system for predicting exit from an occupant support, includes a processor, a memory in communication with the processor, and a frame having at least one force sensor which outputs a force signal in response to force exerted thereon. The system also includes machine readable instructions stored in the memory which cause the system to perform at least the following actions when executed by the processor: 1) determine a property of the signal during an interval of time, 2) classify the property as suggesting an exit event or as not suggesting an exit event, and 3) if the property is classified as suggesting an exit event, generate a notification thereof.

Abstract: Coding method complexity types are assigned to video for combinations of coding decision levels associated with a sequence of pictures, a group of pictures, a scene, a region of the scene or picture, a block or macroblock. Multiple coding units are encoded as a function of complexity and determined from the coding decision levels. A first coding decision level is associated with determining a first complexity and a first coding method type for the sequence of pictures. A second coding decision level is associated with determining a second complexity and a second coding method type for the pictures or scene. The picture or sequence includes the coding units. A third coding decision level is associated with determining a third complexity and a third coding method type for the coding units.
