  • Publication number: 20250146754
    Abstract: A thermal treatment reactor for feedstocks and method of use. The thermal treatment reactor comprises an infeed assembly, a furnace, a rotary drum, a discharge assembly, and a liberator assembly. The rotary drum may comprise forwarding flights, mixing flights, oscillating flights, and raking pins. The feedstock to be thermally treated enters the reactor through the infeed assembly. The feedstock is fed into the reactor in a controlled manner by means of a screw conveyor system. The thermally-treated product exits the reactor via the discharge assembly, which separates the thermally treated product into a VOC liberator, from whence the product enters into a cooling system to reduce the temperature for safe storage and handling.

  • Publication number: 20250144326
    Abstract: A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette has a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.

  • Publication number: 20250148152
    Abstract: An HIL simulation platform may analyze a computer-aided design (CAD) drawing of a device of an operator console. The HIL simulation platform may determine, based on analyzing the CAD drawing, device type information and signal information of the device. The device type information identifies a device type of the device and the signal information identifies one or more signal types of signals associated with the device. The HIL simulation platform may generate, based on the device type information, a simulation device for an HIL simulation of an operation of the device in an HIL simulation environment. The HIL simulation platform may generate, based on the signal information, a name of an output signal from the simulation device. The HIL simulation platform may map, based on the name, the output signal to a controller device in a real world environment and execute a computer model to perform the HIL simulation.

  • Publication number: 20250144630
    Abstract: A method can include receiving a biological sample including the target cells, e.g., at an inlet of a microfluidic structure. This can involve flowing the target cells, e.g., suspended in a first buffer, at a first flow rate within a main channel of the microfluidic structure. At least one focusing flow can be applied to the biological sample, using a second buffer at a second flow rate, to help establish a boundary defining a central region or streamline. The central region can contain the target cells within the main channel and promote ion diffusion between the first and second buffers.

  • Publication number: 20250146492
    Abstract: Described methods and systems user to manually activate or engage the pump from a remote location and/or to monitor the state of the sump pump (e.g., the water level, the pump condition, pipe conditions, etc.) when located at a remote location relative to the sump pump. A sump pump system may implement sensors configured to detect motion or acceleration of a sensor disposed in water in the sump basin or disposed on a sump pump or pipe. The sump pump system may analyze data from these sensors to identify diagnostic metrics or values that are transmitted to a user's user interface device, thereby notifying a user of conditions such as a stuck impeller, a blocked pipe, a dry pumping pump, etc.

  • Publication number: 20250145503
    Abstract: Methods and systems of PFAS destruction in water containing nitrate. The methods and systems include filtering water containing PFAS and nitrate through a membrane selective for PFAS to obtain a membrane reject containing PFAS and nitrate and a filtrate containing nitrate, forming a treatment solution using the membrane reject including diluting the membrane reject and combining the membrane reject with a photosensitizer, a sulfite salt, and a sufficient amount of base such that the treatment solution has a pH of about 10 or more, and irradiating the treatment solution with UV light in a photoreactor to destroy a portion of the PFAS. Before dilution, a concentration of PFAS in the membrane reject may be between about 3 times and about 20 times greater than before the filtering step. Dilution of the membrane reject may include between about a 3 and about a 20 times dilution.

  • Publication number: 20250149134
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and systems of providing secure remote health data routing for diagnostics, treatment, monitoring, and/or other health data. The system may use an anonymized identification (ID) token that may protect privacy and ensure security. The ID token may be attached with additional data such as electronic medical record (EMR) data. As such, the system may digitize and securely transmit EMR data to appropriate constituents. The system may apply routing rules and routing tables to identify the appropriate constituents. The system may also route the EMR data for storage at a user's personal device, which may include a chip card or a user device. As such, the user's personal device may store an EMR based on the EMR data, including proof of health, such as vaccination, and other health data relating to the user.
