Abstract: A method for predicting a blowdown rate of one or more boilers includes generating output data with a first model that specifies an empirical relationship between multiple input temperatures, multiple plant gas feed rates, and multiple outputs of the boilers. The method further includes collecting an ambient operating temperature and a current steam demand of the boilers and comparing the ambient operating temperature and the current steam demand to the output data to determine a current required blowdown rate. Once determined, the blowdown rate of the boilers is adjusted according to the current required blowdown rate.

Abstract: A system and method for treating a necrotic tooth in a root canal and includes using a dual function double barrel reciprocating syringe in conjunction with a dual channel needle to provide both an irrigant for irrigation and aspiration of the irrigant and organic debris within the necrotic tooth. Once optimally positioned and secured in place by a rubber seal, root canal of the tooth can be treated through irrigation and aspiration of the dual channel needle.

Abstract: The system comprises a prediction module (1) equipped with artificial intelligence to predict neurological disorders in an individual patient and identify a level of neurological disorders; a central processing unit (2) to detect triggering events and circumstances due to which the neurological disorders trigger in an individual patient upon receiving real-time behavior information data generated by a playing ball (3) of an individual patient and distinguish between a normal behavior and a neurological disorders behavior; an alert module (4) to alert the individual patient upon determining neurological disorders behavior; and an entertainment platform (5) to entertain and engage the individual patient with a specific set of activities assigned according to detected triggering events and circumstances upon determining the neurological disorders behavior, wherein a specific set of activities includes listening to music, playing games, and talking to an AI chatbot.

Abstract: An ear-wearable device includes a shell shaped for wearing in a user's ear. The shell comprises a tunnel wall shaped to define a tunnel that passes through the ear-wearable device. The tunnel wall defines one or more contact pin apertures through which distal ends of two or more contact pins pass. One or more electrical components are encased within the shell. The contact pins are conductors from the one or more electrical components. The distal ends of the contact pins are positioned to make electrical contact with terminals of a cable plug that is removably inserted into the tunnel.

Abstract: A programmable logic controller (PLC) receives first information from a first set of cameras positioned adjacent to a coiled tubing reel configured to deliver a coiled tubing string for insertion into a well. The PLC receives second information from a second different set of cameras positioned on a center of an arc of a primary turn of coiled tubing string. The PLC receives third information from a third different set of cameras positioned above a stripper and below an injector head. The PLC receives fourth information from a fourth different set of cameras embedded in an adapted spool below coiled tubing blow-out preventer equipment. The PLC uses the first, second, third, and fourth information, each including images of the coiled tubing string captured over time, to determine flaws exists in a segment of the coiled tubing string. A notification is provided that includes information identifying the flaws.
