Abstract: A system includes an image capture device and an assessment computing device. The image capture device is configured to capture an image of an object and a first score associated with the object on a first scale. The assessment computing device is configured to receive the image of the object and the first score from the image capture device, and to receive a second score on a second scale that is different from the first scale from a third party assessment source computing device. The assessment computing device is also configured to normalize the second score to a particular scale to provide a normalized second score, and to determine a level of mastery based at least partially on the first score and the normalized second score. The assessment computing device is configured to generate a user interface with information indicating the level of mastery.

Abstract: A filtration unit and a method of installing a filtration unit are provided. The rectangular filtration unit includes a filter element for filtering fluid. The frame includes a first portion and a second portion. The frame supports the filter element and the frame defines an opening. A first dimension of the filtration unit measured between the exterior of the first portion and the opening is greater than a second dimension of the filtration unit measured between the exterior of the second portion and the opening. In a further example, the filtration unit is mounted in a top section and a bottom section of a holding frame.

Abstract: A system is provided for display of tank information, the system comprising: a tank label, the tank label being displayed on a tank pump panel and comprising data including tank capacity, serial number; a computer readable code disposed on the tank label providing additional tank data and configured to communicate with a manufacturer of the tank.

Abstract: This disclosure describes embodiments of an air treatment apparatus that stimulates formation of large moisture droplets from small moisture droplets found in air flowing in power generating systems to a turbo-machine. In one example, the embodiments generate a field that promotes contact between the smaller moisture droplets. This contact can increase the size of moisture droplets to facilitate condensation of moisture out of the air.

Abstract: A cartridge filter insert includes a body, an internal opening, and an exterior surface. The internal opening is configured to permit an airflow through the body. The exterior surface is configured to removably engage a surface of a cartridge filter having an outlet. The internal opening has an inside dimension smaller than an inside dimension of the outlet of the cartridge filter to effectively reduce the inside dimension of the outlet. An inlet filter house including the cartridge filter and the cartridge filter insert are also provided. Methods of filtering a fluid using the cartridge filter and the cartridge filter insert within the inlet filter house are also provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of a process for production of biodiesel from a transesterification reaction of alcohol and triglycerides in a multi-zone tubular reactor is disclosed. Alkyl esters and glycerin are formed from reactants in a reaction mixture as the reaction mixture flows through the zones. The zones include an entrance zone, an exit zone, and an intermediate zone between the entrance and exit zones. The zones are characterized by physical properties such as viscosity, density, composition, and flow regime. The entrance and intermediate zones include static mixers that perform structured mixing that increases the conversion and yield. The degree of mixing provided by the mixers is different in the zones to account for differences in physical properties.
