Abstract: Hydrostatic test tool 100 comprises frame 161; pressurizer 120; connection system 110; control system 130; data communicator 140; power supply 150; device handler 162; and buoyancy unit 163. Hydrostatic test tool 100 can be used to perform an in situ seal test of subsea equipment connectors with limited support from external systems, allowing optimization of subsea operations by not requiring constant support from underwater vehicle 5, which could be used to perform other tasks while the test is being carried out, optimizing the total time of support vessel 6 and reducing operational cost. Hydrostatic test tool 100 typically requires interfacing with underwater vehicle 5, e.g., an ROV or AUV, only for deployment/installation and data communication, if at all.

Abstract: An undercarriage clearance system includes a datastore containing undercarriage geometry data including ground clearance data of the undercarriage assembly across a lateral dimension of a wheelbase of the work vehicle; a first sensor configured to collect ground environment data within the vehicle trajectory; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive the undercarriage geometry data from the datastore; receive the ground environment data from the first sensor; identify an obstacle within the vehicle trajectory; evaluate a height of the identified obstacle and a projected path of the obstacle within the wheelbase of the work vehicle along the vehicle trajectory relative to the undercarriage geometry data to determine an obstacle clearance expectation; and generate an alert command signal based on the determination of the obstacle clearance expectation. A display device is configured to render a display based on the alert command signal representing the obstacle clearance expectation.

Abstract: IoT devices within a commercial real-estate or residential building environment may be connected through networks, such as a Building Automation and Control network (BACnet). Systems and methods according to this disclosure provide automatic discovery of IoT devices and relationships in commercial real-estate and residential buildings and integration of the BACnet devices into the digital twin of the building. In some implementations, an IoT gateway is configured to translate the communication received from the BACnet to an IoT cloud platform and configured to normalize the data across the different security platforms into a consistent format which enables integration and interoperability of the different building system platforms that may otherwise be operating in isolation from each other.

Abstract: Aspects disclosed herein provide systems and methods for mixing and dispensing fuel. The method includes flowing cryogenic fuel from a storage tank through a cold portion of a process heat exchanger to a first vaporizer, flowing the cryogenic fuel from the first vaporizer through a warm portion of the process heat exchanger to obtain an intermediate temperature fuel exiting the process heat exchanger, and separating the intermediate temperature fuel into a first stream and a second stream. The method further includes directing the first stream through a second vaporizer to obtain a warm stream, combining the warm stream and the second stream to obtain a target fuel temperature stream, and dispensing the target fuel temperature stream through at least one dispenser.

Abstract: A method for mixing and dispensing fuel includes flowing fuel from a tank toward a first flow path and a second flow path and separating the fuel into a first stream and a second stream. The method includes flowing the first stream in the first flow path through a vaporizer to a heat exchanger, flowing the second stream in the second flow path to the heat exchanger, flowing the first stream through a warm portion of the heat exchanger to exchange heat with the second stream, and flowing the second stream through a cold portion of the heat exchanger to exchange heat with the first stream. The method further includes flowing the first stream and the second stream from the heat exchanger to a mixing point, combining the first stream and the second stream to obtain a target stream, and dispensing the target stream through a dispenser.

Abstract: A process increases the concentration of normal paraffins in a feed stream comprising separating a naphtha feed stream into a normal paraffin rich stream and a non-normal paraffin rich stream. A naphtha feed stream may be separated into a normal paraffin stream and a non-normal paraffin stream. An isomerization feed stream may be taken from the non-normal paraffin stream and isomerized over an isomerization catalyst to convert non-normal paraffins to normal paraffins and produce an isomerization effluent stream. The isomerization effluent stream may be separated into a propane stream and a C4+ hydrocarbon stream optionally in a single column. The C4+ hydrocarbon stream may be recycled to the step of separating a naphtha feed stream.

Abstract: Process for producing para-xylene are described. The processes utilize a dual raffinate approach. Two raffinate streams from the adsorption separation unit are fed to the raffinate distillation column independently to take advantage of the differing desorbent concentrations in the two raffinate streams. The process yields significant reboiler duty savings and a reduction in overall fired fuel needed.

Abstract: A large bore hot stab connection is configured to minimize hydraulic fluid loss and to connect two fluid conduits by a substantially straight push, locking the connection into place with a relatively simple turn. In general, installation of a large bore hot stab connection is performed by inserting a hot stab into a receptacle and, if present, rotating a handle to lock the hot stab into the receptacle. As both the receptacle and hot stab comprise bodies comprising an in-line check valve cartridge valve, when inserted and coupled with the receptacle the hot stab completes a low leak hydraulic subsea connection.
