  • Publication number: 20210223755
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a component of an abatement apparatus is disclosed. The method comprises: meshing a 3D model representation of a component defining a reaction chamber of an abatement apparatus based on specified component characteristics to define an optimised finite element representation of the component; and fabricating the optimised finite element representation. In this way, a 3D model of a component of an abatement apparatus can be generated from which its performance can be modelled. Particular characteristics of the component may be defined which affect the operation of the abatement apparatus. Those characteristics may then be used to generate the optimized finite element representation of the component which has those characteristics using meshing (it will be appreciated that meshing is the operation of representing a geometric object as a set of finite elements).

  • Publication number: 20210168452
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying, assembling, and publishing content are described. A content item, such as a video, having a first time length, is identified by a system to be included in a program scheduled for a first time period. The video may be hosted on a third party system. A first span of time within the first program is allocated for the video, wherein the first span of time is longer than the first time length. The system determines, prior to or at the first time period, a time difference between a current length of the video and the first span of time. At least partly in response to determining that the video has a time length shorter than the first span of time, the system selects supplemental content based at least in part of the determined time difference to be streamed to user terminals over a data network within the first time period.

  • Publication number: 20200394720
    Abstract: A processor communicates over a network with a technical system executing software. A bot is used to monitor operation of software executed by the technical system. The processor receives data, over the network, from the bot regarding the remote monitoring of the software's operation. From the received data, the processor identifies a certain technical event affecting the operation of the software during a particular time window. An action is taken to resolve the identified technical event.

  • Publication number: 20200345038
    Abstract: A process of encapsulating or coating amino acid particles is provided for producing an encapsulated amino acid feed product for ruminant animals. The encapsulated amino acid feed product comprises substantially uniform, round and dust free pastille granules. When the encapsulated amino acid feed product is fed to a ruminant animal, the product delivers high amounts of absorbable amino acid to the animal for direct nourishment, wherein the amino acid is not substantially fermented in the rumen of the animal. In an aspect, the process is a low-cost, high capacity, continuous process that produces a composition comprising greater than 50% by weight of a nourishing amino acid. The superior handling quality of the pastille granules allows for their use in further formulation of animal feeds, where homogeneous distribution of nutrients throughout the final feed mix is desired.

  • Patent number: 10759352
    Abstract: A portable organizer used for storing personal items in vehicles to prevent belonging from being transported in a disorganized manner. Additionally, the organizer is designed to provide various storage options, as well as a charging platform. To achieve this the organizer has a back plate, a collection of receptacles, and a base plate. The receptacles are serially distributed across the base plate. Additionally, the receptacles are delineated by sidewalls and a shelf that is inclined relative to the back plate. This enables the stored items to remain within the receptacles when the vehicle is motion, and sudden maneuvers occur. Similarly, the base plate is positioned in between an edge of the back plate and the receptacles to provide another option for storing or dividing the personal items.

  • Patent number: 10702824
    Abstract: Venturi Scrubbers are used to separate particulate from a large range of fluids. Many provide additional liquid and/or gas to drive the fluid and aid in the removal of particulate. The present invention provides a liquid ring pump through which the fluid to be treated is first passed and then exhausted, with additional work fluid to a Venturi scrubber such that the particulate can be separated from the exhaust fluid.

  • Patent number: 10661217
    Abstract: The abatement apparatus includes a porous element at least partially defining a treatment chamber and through which treatment materials pass for introduction into the treatment chamber for treatment of an effluent gas stream; and an infra-red heating device operable to emit infra-red energy to heat the porous element which heats the treatment materials as they pass through the porous element into the treatment chamber. In this way, infra-red energy, rather than combustion, can be used to raise the temperature within the treatment chamber in order to treat the effluent gas stream. This allows the apparatus to be used in environments where no fuel gas exists or where the provision of fuel gas is considered undesirable. Also, heating the treatment materials as they pass through the porous sleeve, rather than simply using radiant heat to heat the treatment chamber enables significantly more energy to be imparted into the treatment materials.
