Abstract: A method of filling a tank with gaseous fuel includes: delivering a gas from a filling station to the tank; communicating a gas temperature measurement and a gas pressure measurement from the tank to the filling station; and based on the gas temperature and gas pressure measurements, modulating a pressure ramp rate of the gas being delivered.

Abstract: Methods for centralized access control for cloud relational database management system resources are performed by systems and devices. The methods utilize a central policy storage, managed externally to database servers, which stores external policies for access to internal database resources at up to fine granularity. Database servers in the processing system each receive external access policies that correspond to users of the system by push or pull operations from the central policy storage, and store the external access policies in a cache of the database servers for databases. For resource access, access conditions are determined via policy engines of database servers based on an external access policy in the cache that corresponds to a user, responsive to a resource access request from a device of the user specifying the internal resource. Data associated with the resource is provided to the user based on the access condition being met.

Abstract: The heat exchanger tray provided herein may include a base, a cover, and a heat exchange coil. The base may include a cutout and a bottom portion with one or more sidewalls forming a serpentine path for wastewater. The cover may be positioned within the cutout of the base to create a space between the base and the cover. The cover may include one or more protruding portions that engage with the one or more sidewalls of the bottom portion of the base to enclose the serpentine path. The heat exchange coil may be positioned in and along at least a portion of the serpentine path between the base and the cover. Fresh water may flow through the heat exchange coil. Wastewater may flow through the serpentine path between the base and the cover, such that the wastewater may heat the fresh water flowing through the heat exchange coil.

Abstract: A computer based system and method for identifying complaint interactions, including: detecting appearances of linguistic structures related to complaints in an interaction; calculating at least one sentiment metric of the interaction; and classifying the interaction as being or not being a complaint interaction based on the detected linguistic structures and the at least one sentiment metric, for example using a trained supervised learning model.
