Abstract: Using a graphical user interface (GUI), a user is guided to generate a logical graph that represents how real data is generated in a situation. The situation is simulated using an artificial intelligence (AI) model a number of times by having the AI model choose paths through the logical graph to generate synthetic data that is representative of the real data. The AI model may also use a reward table that the user is guided to generate via the GUI to execute the simulation, wherein the reward table incentivizes certain paths of the logical graph, and agents of the AI model are trained using the values of this reward table. This synthetic data generated via the AI model can be used for training other AI models.

Abstract: A system includes a pump to circulate a flow of a fluid from a fluid source through a flow conduit assembly at unique flow rates; a flow meter fluidly coupled within the flow conduit assembly; a coiled tubing assembly fluidly coupled within the flow conduit assembly and including one or more tubing coils; a pressure sensor coupled to the flow conduit assembly and configured to measure a fluid pressure drop across the coiled tubing assembly; and a control system communicably coupled to the flow meter and the pressure sensor.

Abstract: ADAPTIVE CONTROL PROCEDURE FOR REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS which comprises the detection of the frost level in the evaporator by means of a calculation method of NTU rate, allowing to define: the most suitable defrosting time, the energization of the drainage resistors and the adaptive management of the evaporator fan combining different operating modes. An ice-free mode which uses only the cooling capacity of the refrigerant, and different modes with ice which benefits from the latent heat stored in the ice to produce energy savings, depending on the level of frost in the evaporator. For calculating the NTU rate, it uses the evaporator as a reference when it is dry at the beginning, and when the cooling system is in operation, it calculates the NTU rate with a variable frequency operating mode depending on the evaporator performance or level of ice and its comparison with the cited reference.

Abstract: Some manufacturing processes include forming stacks of manufactured objects for handling and/or processing. While some such manufactured objects are consistent in thickness, other are more irregular. Some manufactured objects are generally flat, but are also generally thicker along one edge. When objects having these characteristics are stacked, the cumulative effect of such inconsistent thickness results in an unbalanced stack. The disclosed apparatus and method utilize a novel rotating stacker that rotates the stack of manufactured objects as each new object is added to the stack, thereby distributing the thickness inconsistency of individual objects throughout the stack, producing a more uniform stack without manual intervention.
