Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cloud-based integrated charting system that utilizes a universal mapping service across services and clients to provide insights for the provider into customizations made by clients. Additionally, the system provides content building tools that enable clients to customize content to update models provided by the provider. A mapping service maps model codes corresponding to model concepts to a plurality of standard based concept codes corresponding to client domain specific customized concepts for an ontology of the one or more ontologies. A workflow recommendation is provided that enables a user to chart data and includes the model concepts comprising charting elements. Accordingly, the data is stored in a client database in accordance with the client domain specific customized concepts. Since the model concepts are mapped to the client domain specific customized concepts, the workflow recommendation can be prepopulated with data from the client database.

Abstract: Methods of providing a homogeneous or uniform catalytic coating on an inorganic fiber substrate include using a vacuum to coat the substrate, improved coating solutions or mixtures and/or drying methods to prevent migration of metal catalyst precursors to the exterior surfaces and edges of the inorganic fiber substrate. The methods may include adding a component to the first coating solution or mixture before coating the inorganic fiber substrate; applying a second coating solution or mixture to the coated inorganic fiber substrate; drying the coated inorganic fiber substrate at ambient conditions, under controlled conditions, or with microwave radiation; or optimizing an amount of a salt, water, or an organic solvent in the coating solution.

Abstract: A method of producing fibers includes exposing an inorganic composition to a plasma plume, where the plasma plume has a temperature of at least 1500° C. and a bulk velocity of at least 350 m/s. A system for producing fibers includes a plasma torch to produce the plasma plume and a feeding device to introduce the inorganic composition to the plasma plume.

Abstract: A device for the treatment of exhaust gases such as a catalytic converter, a diesel particulate trap and the like, includes a housing having an inlet at one end and an outlet at its opposite end through which exhaust gases flow; a structure resiliently mounted within the housing, the structure having an outer surface and an inlet end surface at one end in communication with the inlet of the housing and an outlet end surface at an opposite end in communication with the outlet of the housing; and mounting element, disposed between the structure and the housing, for selectively exerting substantially stable mounting pressure against the housing and the structure over a temperature range of from about 20.degree. C. to at least about 1200.degree. C., wherein the mounting element is a flexible mounting mat including an integral, substantially non-expanding sheet comprising ceramic fibers, wherein the fibers are substantially shot free. The mat has flexible, structural integrity.
