Abstract: Some variations provide a process for producing mixed alcohols, comprising: purifying a biogas feedstock to generate a renewable natural gas stream comprising methane; introducing the renewable natural gas stream into a methane-to-syngas unit operated at effective conditions to convert the methane to a first syngas stream containing at least H2, CO, and CO2; purifying the first syngas stream, including separating the CO2 from the first syngas stream, and optionally separating some of the H2 from the first syngas stream, thereby generating a clean syngas stream; introducing the clean syngas stream into a mixed-alcohol reactor operated at effective alcohol synthesis conditions with an alcohol-synthesis catalyst, thereby generating mixed alcohols; and purifying the mixed alcohols to generate a mixed-alcohol product. The mixed-alcohol product may be blended with a hydrocarbon fuel, such as gasoline, to produce a blended fuel.

Abstract: It has been discovered that mixed-alcohol production can utilize the waste tail gas stream from the pressure-swing adsorption section of an industrial hydrogen plant. Some variations provide a process for producing mixed alcohols, comprising: obtaining a tail-gas stream from a methane-to-syngas unit (e.g., a steam methane reforming reactor); compressing the tail-gas stream; separating the tail-gas stream into at least a syngas stream, a CO2-rich stream, and a CH4-rich stream; introducing the syngas stream into a mixed-alcohol reactor operated at effective alcohol synthesis conditions in the presence of an alcohol-synthesis catalyst, thereby generating mixed alcohols; and purifying the mixed alcohols to generate a mixed-alcohol product.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing radiological workflow management and medical image review is disclosed. A preferred embodiment provides a system interoperable with various RIS and PACS systems and that provides efficient access to information, a dynamic prioritized worklist that constantly changes to address optimize distribution of studies and timely review. The novel system facilitates automated assignment, communication between physicians, technicians and radiologists regarding orders, radiographs, reports and studies. The system analyzes exam data, urgency and pendency times, among other things, to automatically determine an overall priority for each case. Cases are assigned for review in the most efficient time, resulting in optimal turnaround time and improved patient care.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for visualizing an iso-surface is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes generating a plurality of view-point images and view-point metadata of an iso-surface from the perspective of a plurality of view-points. Further, the computer-implemented method includes transferring one or more of the view-point images and view-point metadata to a client device. Furthermore, the computer-implemented method includes displaying the one of the view-point images on the client device. The computer-implemented method includes receiving a user indication for a new user selected view-point and sending a request to the High Performance Computing cluster for a new view-point image, wherein the new user selected view-point image is from non view-point orientation. The computer-implemented method also includes generating a new user view-point image and pixel depth metadata.
