Abstract: A water treatment system and method. Influent water produced from an oil and gas production or the like is circulated in a multistage unit where the water is treated by degassing the water by saturating the water with air, stripping volatile compounds from the water, evaporating non-aqueous phase liquid petroleum from the water, repeatedly stripping and equilibrating inorganic carbons in the water, subliming semi-solids from the water, and breaking colloids in the water using continuous cavitation. Water from the multistage unit is clarified through floatation and sedimentation and biological material in the water is inactivated using irradiation. Water is then filtered before being provided as treated water for an application specific process such as electro desalination reversal, fracking reuse, or other wastewater recovery.

Abstract: A heat spreader composed of a hexagonal boron carbon nitride (hBCN) thin film, can be a major solution for the ever-increasing problem of overheating electronic devices. This heat spreader can dissipate heat away from hotspots on electronic devices, unlocking additional processing power. Our method is able to effectively tune the thermal and electrical conductivity of our films by modulating the carbon content of the precursor used in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Using this method, we can generate a heat spreader that is electrically insulative, so it will not have the potential to create shorts, like graphene and metals. Additionally, we can maximize the thermal conductivity, obtaining a value of 460±149 W/m·K, which rivals or even surpasses hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). As our precursor material is 10 times cheaper than the most common hBN precursor, this is an economical alternative to hBN for heat spreader applications.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing in-flight transformations of data streams. Complex event processing (CEP) operating on event records from various data streams can operate by storing the streamed event record data in a database, and then querying the data to perform a data transformation. However, in order to improve the performance of the data transformations and streamline CEP, a serverless architecture is introduced that can perform data transformations directly on streams, using attributes of the streamed record data defined in a schema. The resulting transformed data can then be provided by the serverless architecture to the CEP for direct access of the data most needed by the CEP.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a model is trained to specifically identify reversal points in data and then to rank these reversal points in order of importance. A reversal point shall be defined as a point in which a particular metric, specifically a first order derivative, crosses over from positive to negative or vice-versa. Users are more likely to be interested in abnormal and significant changes in data, and thus the machine-learned model is trained to evaluate a reversal point based on two dimensions: abnormality and significance.

Abstract: A method of controlling an agricultural facility for housing a plurality of animals includes the step of regulating the environment within the agricultural facility with an automated building operational system. An automated thermal event controller is operationally coupled with the automated building operational system and generates a thermal event signal in response to a thermal event in progress, whereby the automated thermal event controller, upon receipt of the thermal event signal indicating that the thermal event is in progress, activates an alarm state. In the alarm state, the automated thermal event controller: sends an alarm signal to a system administrator; places the automated building operational system in a safety-mode condition for a first predetermined time interval; and places the automated building operational system in a normal-mode operational condition after the first predetermined time interval and if a confirmatory signal is not yet then received from the system administrator.

Abstract: Physical object boundary detection techniques and systems are described. In one example, an augmented reality module generates three dimensional point cloud data. This data describes depths at respective points within a physical environment that includes the physical object. A physical object boundary detection module is then employed to filter the point cloud data by removing points that correspond to a ground plane. The module then performs a nearest neighbor search to locate a subset of the points within the filtered point cloud data that correspond to the physical object. Based on this subset, the module projects the subset of points onto the ground plane to generate a two-dimensional boundary. The two-dimensional boundary is then extruded based on a height determined from a point having a maximum distance from the ground plane from the filtered cloud point data.
