Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for an event detection system that captures data associated with events while a DC casting system forms an ingot, determines characteristics of the events, and improves the casting system based on the events. Example systems and methods may include initiating a casting operation using one or more pieces of equipment of a casting system including a casting apparatus; capturing sensor data associated with one or more acoustic signals captured relative to the one or more pieces of equipment performing the casting operation; comparing the sensor data with a set of acoustic profiles; determining whether a particular type of event has occurred; causing an adjustment to the casting system or to the casting operation based on whether the particular type of event has occurred; and initiating a second casting operation using the adjusted casting system or casting operation.

Abstract: A cardiomyocyte maturation medium comprises a base medium, one or more fatty acids such as palmitic acid, glucose and albumin. The one or more fatty acids and glucose are ideally present at a concentration ratio of about 1:10. Typically, the medium does not comprise TGF or insulin, or comprises minimal TGF and/or insulin. A cell culture vessel is provided that comprises opposed poles that facilitate force measurements of developing cardiac muscle.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing apparatus and liquid container with a fluid dispensing apparatus are provided. The fluid dispensing apparatus includes a valve body defining a bore that extends at least partially through a valve body, and an adaptor including a piercing member positioned to pierce a pierceable membrane enclosing the liquid container. The adaptor also includes a releasable fastener that cooperates with a portion of the liquid container to releasably couple the valve body to the liquid container. A liquid droplet production apparatus of the fluid dispensing apparatus controls a discharge of the liquid from the liquid container. The liquid droplet production apparatus includes a perforate membrane, and an actuator that is selectively operable to vibrate the perforate membrane and cause liquid droplets to be emitted from the perforate membrane and projected generally away from the liquid container.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a diesel exhaust fluid tank, a first temperature sensor positioned within the diesel exhaust fluid tank and structured to provide first temperature information indicative of a first temperature, and a second temperature sensor positioned within the diesel exhaust fluid tank and structured to provide second temperature information indicative of a second temperature. The systems and apparatuses further include one or more processing circuits including one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to provide energy to a heating system based on the first temperature information and the second temperature information.

Abstract: A method of designing an underground excavation may involve the steps of: Developing a plurality of input parameters for the underground excavation; performing a first design iteration to determine an initial ground support system design; evaluating a kinematic stability of the initial ground support system design; determining whether the kinematic stability meets a predetermined factor of safety; and reiterating the initial ground support system design until the kinematic stability meets the predetermined factor of safety.

Abstract: An oil collection system includes a boat that has an engine. A pan is removably coupled to the engine such that the pan may capture oil leaked from the engine. A plurality of clips is provided and each of the clips is coupled to the pan. Each of the clips engages the bottom end of the engine such that the pan is removably retained on the engine. A filter is positioned within the pan such that the filter filters the oil. A gauge is coupled to the pan such that the gauge may display an amount of oil contained within the pan. A drain is coupled to the pan such that the drain may selectively drain the oil from the pan.
