Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for analyzing health of vehicle batteries and vehicle electrical systems. Vehicle batteries, as well as other components of a vehicle electrical system, tend to degrade over time, and eventually fail. The described systems and methods generate an electrical system metric based on electrical data from a plurality of vehicles. Electrical system performance of individual vehicles is compared to the generated electrical system metric, to determine electrical system performance of vehicles relative to other similar vehicles.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a spacing, such as one or more distances, between two or more wellbores formed from a terranean surface to a subterranean formation are described. In some aspects, a wellbore segment is determined for both a first and a second wellbore. One or more distances between the wellbore segments on the first and second wellbores, respectively, is determined. From the determined distance between the wellbore segments on the first and second wellbores, one or more distances between the first and second wellbores may be determined.

Abstract: Various methods and systems for providing customized-item-specific interfaces of items on extended interface devices in a search system. A plurality of items—each having an extended interface configuration that indicates customized-item-specific interface instructions for extended presentation of items on extended interface devices—are accessed at a primary interface device associated with a set of extended interface devices including a second-user extended interface device that supports a social mode. Based on the first extended interface configuration of a first item, a determination is made that the first item is extendable to a first extended interface device in the set of extended interface devices. Based on determining that the first item is extendable, automatically causing generation of a customized-item-specific interface of the first item on the first extended interface device.

Abstract: Various methods and systems for providing predicted item conditions for items in an item listing system. A predicted item condition may indicate a calculated estimate of a descriptive state of the item based on item transaction features. Operationally, item transaction features of an item—associated with an item listing interface—are accessed at the item listing system. The item transaction features are communicated to an item condition prediction machine learning model of the item listing system. The item condition machine learning model is trained on historical item transactions comprising item condition features of historical item transactions, the historical item transactions are previous item transactions associated with the item listing system. Based on the item transaction features of the item, the item condition machine learning model is caused to generate a predicted item condition. The predicted item condition is communicated as a recommended item condition or required item condition.

Abstract: A bypass valve assembly for a turbine generator includes a valve body, bypass seats, valve stem, valve cap, bypass valve disc, bypass valves, and pressure seal head. The valve body defines a central bore and a plurality of passageways. Each passageway has an inlet smaller than its outlet. Each bypass seat is within the inlet of a corresponding passageway. The bypass seats have a higher wear resistance than the valve body. The valve stem is within the central bore. The valve cap is secured to the valve body. The bypass valve disc is secured to the valve stem. Each bypass valve has a base portion and a nose portion. Each nose portion defines a contoured surface area with a wear coating and extends into a corresponding passageway. The pressure seal head is disposed around the valve stem and defines steps having a wear coating.

Abstract: An air mixing device mitigates temperature stratification between two incoming air streams by creation of turbulent airflow through an arrangement of channels in the device. The device also provides selective passage of air for incoming airstreams to achieve functionality for damper control typically associated with separate inlet dampers. A slotted cover plate is mounted to a downstream face of the device. The slots are disposed over the channels to determine areas through which airstreams may pass, such as return air and outdoor air introduced into an air handling unit. A method provides for selectively controlled airflow through the device so effective mixing occurs along with an economizer function to control separate airstreams such as outside air and return air. The slotted cover plate is actuated to control airflow in which flow of one airstream through the device increases as the flow of the other airstream is proportionately decreased.
