Abstract: A method for controlling a hydrogen sulfide concentration of a wastewater stream, the method including measuring a hydrogen sulfide concentration in one phase of the wastewater stream. At least one additional parameter of the wastewater stream is measured, and a hydrogen sulfide concentration of the other phase of the wastewater stream is calculated with a mathematical model that characterizes the hydrogen sulfide concentration in the other phase based on a set of variables that includes the measured hydrogen sulfide concentration in the one phase and the measured at least one additional parameter. Based on the calculated hydrogen sulfide concentration of the other phase, a treatment dosage of a treatment agent that reduces the hydrogen sulfide concentration of the wastewater stream is determined and applied to the wastewater stream.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer readable storage medium for determining an optimal amount of coagulant to be added to water for coagulation treatment. The method includes predicting a water quality index that would be achieved for a corresponding nominal coagulant dose by evaluating at least one coagulation-related incoming water parameter of water that has not been treated with coagulant, with a first mathematical model constructed from historical data including (i) previously administered coagulant dosages; and (ii) previously determined values of the water quality index of the water. The method also includes determining whether the predicted water quality index is within a target range. If the predicted quality index is not within the target range, then the coagulant dosage can be adjusted, and the adjusted dosage can be evaluated to predict the water quality index that would be achieved if the adjusted coagulant dosage is administered to the water.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling nitrous oxide production in a wastewater treatment facility in which wastewater is treated with microbes in a biological reactor. Nitrous oxide production can be controlled by determining an amount of two or more nutrients in the biological reactor, calculating a value that represents a comparison of the values, comparing the calculated value to a threshold value, and optionally taking a corrective action to reduce nitrous oxide production based on the comparison. In one aspect, nitrous oxide production can be controlled by determining an amount of ammonium in the biological reactor, determining an amount of a nitrogen compound that can include nitrite, nitrate, and/or hydroxylamine, calculating a value that compares the amount of ammonium to the amount of the nitrogen compound, and taking a corrective action that changes a system parameter to reduce the nitrous oxide production if the calculated value surpasses a threshold limit.

Abstract: A circle drive system with clutch protection in motor graders is disclosed. The circle drive system includes a hydraulic motor that is configured to receive a pressurized fluid and generate a torque for a rotation of a circle and a moldboard. The circle drive system also includes a gearbox to transfer the torque generated by the hydraulic motor to the circle. Further, the circle drive system includes a clutch connected to the hydraulic motor at one end and to the gearbox at another end. In addition, the circle drive system also includes a hydraulic circuit having a pressure relief valve to relieve the pressurized fluid supplied to the hydraulic motor when a pressure of the pressurized fluid exceeds a predefined threshold. The pressure relief valve thereby, limits the torque generated by the hydraulic motor to less than or equal to a torque capacity of the clutch.

Abstract: A cover for a motor drive is provided. The cover includes an opening (often at the bottom of the cover) to allow air to pass to an air inlet of the motor drive and an opening (often near the top of the cover) to allow air from an air outlet of the motor drive to exit the cover. A hood provides rain protection for the drive and a separator (such as a baffle) within the enclosure prevents air flowing within the enclosure from the air outlet to the air inlet of the drive. The hood and/or the separator are shaped to direct air from the air outlet away from the enclosure in order to substantially reduce the re-circulation of air from the air outlet to the air inlet of the drive.

Abstract: The present invention provides processes, methods, and systems for converting biomass-derived feedstocks to liquid fuels and chemicals. The method generally includes the reaction of a hydrolysate from a biomass deconstruction process with hydrogen and a catalyst to produce a reaction product comprising one of more oxygenated compounds. The process also includes reacting the reaction product with a condensation catalyst to produce C4+ compounds useful as fuels and chemicals.

Abstract: In a system for protecting user accessible software applications, an application is executed in coordination with a security agent, and the security agent can monitor communications between users and the application. By analyzing one or more automation characteristics of the communications, and by comparing and contrasting these characteristics with those of known security scanners, the agent can determine whether the communication is likely associated with a malicious user. The agent can also monitor whether a communication attempts to change the value of a decoy unit, and can designate such communication as associated with a likely malicious user. By analyzing the contents of the communication, the agent can designate a threat level to the communication. The agent can block the communications likely associated with malicious users and/or having a designated high threat level, or can alert a system administrator, to protect the software application.
