  • Publication number: 20240395234
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dewatering slurries having relatively high solids content such as earthen slurries are disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more transducer devices configured for acoustic spectroscopy and/or electroacoustic spectroscopy are used to determine a parameter related to the particle size distribution (e.g., specific surfaced area) and/or zeta potential of the slurry.

  • Publication number: 20240359839
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for unitizing groups of individual packages into pallet loads, stabilizing the loads and facilitating general movement of the pallets, including the loading and unloading of pallets into and out of transport vehicles, includes wrapping the loads with stretchable crepe paper, rather than conventional plastic wrap material. Crepe paper can be produced and recycled with less environmental impact than plastic wrap. These methods involve a new use for crepe paper, and a new use for conventional plastic-wrapping equipment.

  • Patent number: 12124562
    Abstract: A method includes configuring one or more permissions for a first page of memory including a first section of a plurality of sections of an executable program code to enable execution of the first section. The method also includes configuring one or more permissions for a second page of the memory including a second section of the executable program code to disable execution of the second section. The method also includes identifying one or more annotations in the executable program code, wherein the one or more annotations indicate one or more allowed transitions and one or more disallowed transitions between the plurality of sections. The method also includes changing, in view of the one or more annotations, the one or more permissions of the second page to enable execution of the second section of the executable program code.

  • Patent number: 12007744
    Abstract: A plurality of system control devices respectively include network interfaces for communicating with each other via a network. One of the plurality of system control devices functions as a master system control device, and the remaining system control devices function as slave system control devices. The master system control device transmits a control command to the slave system control devices by means of the network interface. The slave system control devices receive the control command by means of the network interfaces and supply an operation command to abatement devices in accordance with the control command. When unable to communicate with the master system control device, the slave system control devices either function as master system control devices or enter stand-alone operation mode.

  • Publication number: 20240187123
    Abstract: A method of implementing a stretched single optical communication span includes receiving one or more optical signals from an optical fiber span having high loss; adding a pilot signal to the one or more optical signals, subsequent to the receiving; and amplifying the one or more optical signals and the pilot signal with a pre-amplifier that is an Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA). Advantageously, the stretched single span operates below a Hazard 1M environment. A node in a stretched single optical communication span includes an optical multiplexer connected to an optical fiber span having high and a pilot signal, and configured to output a combination of one or more optical signals from the optical fiber span and the pilot signal; and a pre-amplifier that is an EDFA configured to receive the output of the optical multiplexer and provide amplification of the one or more optical signals and the pilot signal.

  • Publication number: 20230294049
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for carbonating a liquid at ambient temperature. The system may include a liquid source; a carbon dioxide source; and a contactor for carbonating the liquid. The contactor may include channels and a sparge for carbonating liquid flowing through the channels. The system may produce a liquid having high levels of carbonation at ambient temperature. The sparge may generate microbubbles or nanobubbles to allow for cost-effective carbonation at ambient temperatures. The bubbles may have an average diameter of 100 ?m or less. The system may carbonate liquid at a rate of 1 gram to 10 grams carbon dioxide per liter.
