  • Publication number: 20250148200
    Abstract: Determining job postings posted by one entity of an enterprise that are re-classifiable with respect to another entity of the enterprise. Computer systems and/or computer implemented methods use one or more reclassification analyses to compare an enterprise's active job postings with operations descriptions of entities of the job postings other than the entity that posted the job posting. A report and/or an alert can be generated when there is sufficient overlap between a job posting and an entity that did not post the job posting, indicating that the job posting is likely re-classifiable.

  • Publication number: 20250150850
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed toward intelligently selecting the operating parameters of wireless access points (WAPs) deployed in a wireless environment so as to minimize or at least reduce interference in that wireless environment. A WAP may continually measure characteristics of wireless channels used in the wireless environment and obtain measurements of channel metrics for those channels. The WAP analyzes the channel metric history to identify correlations between the channel metric measurements and various timeframes and selects one or more of its operating parameters based on the channel metric history and the correlations identified.

  • Publication number: 20250145503
    Abstract: Methods and systems of PFAS destruction in water containing nitrate. The methods and systems include filtering water containing PFAS and nitrate through a membrane selective for PFAS to obtain a membrane reject containing PFAS and nitrate and a filtrate containing nitrate, forming a treatment solution using the membrane reject including diluting the membrane reject and combining the membrane reject with a photosensitizer, a sulfite salt, and a sufficient amount of base such that the treatment solution has a pH of about 10 or more, and irradiating the treatment solution with UV light in a photoreactor to destroy a portion of the PFAS. Before dilution, a concentration of PFAS in the membrane reject may be between about 3 times and about 20 times greater than before the filtering step. Dilution of the membrane reject may include between about a 3 and about a 20 times dilution.

  • Publication number: 20250146713
    Abstract: Wellbore synthesis techniques are disclosed suitable for use in geothermal applications. Embodiments are provided where open hole drilled wellbores are sealed while drilling in sequenced operations with utilization of phase change materials to form an impervious layer at the wellbore/formation interface in high temperature applications. The techniques may be chemical, thermal, mechanical, biological and are fully intended to irreversibly damage the formation in terms of the permeability thereof. With the permeability negated, the wellbore may be used to create a closed loop surface to surface geothermal well operable in the absence of well casing for heat transfer surfaces for maximizing thermal transfer to a circulating working fluid. Formulations for the working and drilling fluids are disclosed.
