  • Publication number: 20240144396
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a concentrate grade recommendation using a concentrate grade optimization engine in a material processing engine of a material processing system. The concentrate grade recommendation refers to a quantified value for concentrate grade that corresponds to an economic value for ore of a mining process. In operation, input data comprising material processing planning data and economic data associated with a recovery process are accessed. The input data is analyzed using a grade recovery relationship machine learning model. The grade recovery relationship machine learning model is trained on historical material processing data features associated with concentrate grade and recovery of the material recovery process. The historical data includes data on produced concentrate (e.g., achieved grades and corresponding recovery). Based on analyzing the input data, a concentrate grade that corresponds to an economic value is generated.

  • Patent number: 11970652
    Abstract: A thermal energy storing system includes two or more volumes of a formulation of active material. The formulation of active material in each of the two or more volumes includes a solvent and one or more of a salt, a base, or an acid as the active material. The formulation of active material in each of the two or more volumes also has multiple congruent solid/liquid phase transitions at different concentrations of the solvent. A phase transition temperature of each volume of the two or more volumes of the formulation of active material can be adjusted by changing the concentration of solvent in each formulation. This tunability notably improves the performance and cost effectiveness of heat pumps, shifting electrical loads to lower-cost, off-peak/renewable-intensive periods, improving efficiency, and enabling recovery of low-grade renewable and waste heat. The system has a relatively small footprint, which is particularly attractive in urban applications.

  • Publication number: 20240039021
    Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a hotbox configured to house a fuel cell stack, the fuel cell stack including a temperature sensor configured to detect temperature inside the fuel cell stack. The system includes a first tank including a first valve and configured to store methanol. The system includes a second tank including a second valve and configured to store water. The system includes a controller communicatively coupled to receive signals from the temperature sensor and control each of the first valve and the second valve. The controller is configured to set a dosing rate of methanol, based on a temperature of the fuel cells stack, to a predefined dosing rate and initiate operating at least one of the first valve and the second valve to deliver a mixture of methanol and water at the predefined dosing rate to prevent re-oxidation of an anode of the fuel cell stack.

  • Patent number: 11386255
    Abstract: Capturing and processing a digital image of a pictorial (e.g., hand-drawn) representation of a schematic or block diagram as a digital image to aid in creation and maintenance of electrical designs is disclosed. Processing of the digital image includes processing to determine design parameters to create an informational format useful as input to other design software. Design parameters may include schematic layout and attributes such as maximum output voltage, minimum input voltage, ambient temperature, etc. The method and system also include storage of information accessible to refine designs and perform simulations of designs as part of an overall electrical design process. Associated devices and methods are disclosed as well.
