Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for flue gas cooling for carbon capture processes are disclosed herein. A flue gas cooling process for carbon capture includes: cooling a flue gas in a direct contact cooler by a cooling water cooled in a closed cooling loop; cooling the cooling water in the closed cooling loop utilizing air-cooled heat exchangers; cooling the flue gas below a water dew point to produce a surplus water when an available cooling duty of the closed cooling loop exceeds a cooling duty required to cool the flue stream to the water dew point; storing the surplus water in a surplus water storage vessel; and directing the surplus water stored in the surplus water storage vessel to the direct contact cooler when the available cooling duty of the closed cooling loop is less than the cooling duty required to cool the flue stream to the water dew point.

Abstract: A method and system for managing reservation of operating room (OR) blocks is provided. In one embodiment, a server system causes display of at least one user interface (UI) configured to facilitate reservation of blocks and release of previously reserved blocks from among a plurality of blocks associated with each OR from among one or more ORs related to a clinical facility. The plurality of blocks associated with each OR together configure a pool of blocks. The server system receives a user request for one of reserving at least one block and releasing a user reservation of the at least one block. The server system performs at least one action in response to the received request and updates the UI based on the at least one action. The updated UI is configured to indicate a current available inventory of blocks from among the pool of blocks.

Abstract: A system and method for link failure handling includes detecting a failure in a first network connection between a first network switching unit and a second network switching unit, where the first network connection is associated with a first communication port of the first network switching unit; suspending the first communication port from a link aggregation group (LAG), where the first communication port is associated with the LAG; and associating one or more first inter-chassis link (ICL) ports with the LAG. The first ICL ports are associated with a first ICL coupling the first network switching unit to a third network switching unit. The first network switching unit and the third network switching unit are peers.

Abstract: A virtual chassis includes two or more physical chassis and operates as a single, logical device. Each of the two or more physical chassis include two route processor modules (RPM) and each RPM is assigned a first and a second role within the virtual chassis. The first role is a physical chassis level role and the second role is a virtual chassis level role. The RPMs operate in coordination such that the failure of any one of the RPMs results in one or more other RPMs taking over the first and second roles of the failed RPM.
