Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques for controlling a compression unit associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. For example, a medical system may include a compression unit configured to apply pressure to a torso region of a patient. The compression unit may be configured to move within space according to at least one degree of freedom. The medical system may further include processing circuitry configured to receive one or more sets of data representative of one or more patient parameters of the patient. Additionally, the medical system may generate, using a deep learning model, an output data set representing a predicted trajectory of at least one patient parameter of the one or more patient parameters, determine a set of control parameters, and control the compression unit to apply the pressure to the torso region of the patient.

Abstract: A system and method improves cold start performance of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) plant. The system includes one or more pumps configured to pump condensed fluid from points of natural accumulation of the condensed fluid within an ORC loop back into a corresponding low pressure liquid storage vessel shortly after shutting down the ORC plant to ensure the start-up routine works properly for the next ORC plant start event. One or more of the pumps can also be configured to pump fluid away from the ORC expansion machine(s) at any time prior to starting the ORC if the fluid is in a liquid phase.
