Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for determining compliance with a plurality of restrictions associated with one or more devices in an organization. First text indicating restrictions may be received, and second text indicating a current configuration of one or more devices may be received. Both sets of text may be processed by, e.g., removing a portion of the text based on a predetermined list of terms and simplifying the text using a lemmatization algorithm. A first vector and second vector may be generated based on the processed sets of text, and each vector may be weighted based on an inverse frequency of words in their respective text. Each vector may be normalized based on semantic analysis. The two vectors may be compared. Based on the comparison, third text corresponding to a portion of the second vector may be generated and transmitted to a third computing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a lapping system that includes a temperature control system system to heat or cool the lapping plate while lapping. The temperature control system can include a closed circuit fluid system and/or one or more electrical resistive heating elements. In some embodiments that cooling system can control the temperature of the lapping plate during lapping to within +/?5° C., or even +/?0.5° C.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves apparatuses and methods for coating a lapping plate with an aqueous composition. The apparatus can be configured and the aqueous composition can be formulated so that the aqueous composition can flow to a spray nozzle device solely due to gravity in a batchwise manner.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning a waste collection pit of an animal housing facility. A storage tank or reservoir for water to be used in the cleaning operation is suspended inside the upper confines of the housing facility above the living quarters of the animals. Water from the storage tank is directed through a vertical down tube to a water distributor associated with each waste collection pit. Interposed in the vertical down tube for controlling the flow of water is a slide gate valve of a design to travel from a fully closed to fully open position within a short time interval. The storage tank provides a pressure head of water for the efficient flushing of wastes from the collection pit during a flushing operation. Water used in a flushing operation is collected either in a storage lagoon for recycling or for transport to a remote treatment or application location.
