Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for autonomous data collection and system control of a material recovery facility (MRF). A control system receives data from set of sensors that reflect a status of the MRF. The control system determines an operating status of various MRF components (e.g., material handling units (MHUs), sensors, and/or other elements) and/or a composition of a waste stream being processed by the MRF. The control system controls MHU(s) based on the data to optimize the recovery and/or purity of recoverable materials from the waste stream. The control system may rearranging MHUs within the MRF and/or re-tasking individual MHUs to perform different handling functions. Machine learning (ML) and/or artificial intelligence (AI) mechanisms can be used to optimize the operation of the MRF in an autonomous fashion. Other aspects are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for retrieving, in a first application using one or more processors, a user profile in which the user profile includes a user ID, and the first application includes a first application interface. The systems and methods further include detecting user selection, in the first application interface, of a sync command to a second application, in which the second application includes an executable script associated with the user ID, retrieving the executable script in response to the detecting the user selection of the sync command, integrating the executable script into an HTML interface associated with the user profile, and generating a two-dimensional graphical component in response to the integration of the executable script.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include an apparatus for reducing contamination or obstruction of a multi-directional flow filtration system. As one example, a scalper that is to be employed on a multi-directional flow filtration system comprises a body and a set of scalping walls forming a plurality of helical chambers, the set of scalping walls helically extending along at least a portion of an interior of the body in a longitudinal direction. In this way, the plurality of helical chambers may enable the multi-directional flow filtration system to passively scalp contaminants in a manner that improves overall operation of the multi-directional flow filtration system. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: The trailer docking device is a trailer hitch mounting dock with which can be secured to a trailer when the trailer is detached from the tow vehicle. The trailer docking device enables its user to load and unload the trailer while it is parked in a garage, warehouse, carport or parking slab. The trailer docking device is steel constructed, height-adjustable, permanently mounted receiver hitch that is bolted to concrete slab flooring. The trailer docking device is vertically adjustable and includes a mounting base which may be used to affix the device to a permanent surface, such as a cement slab or asphalt surface, and a trailer hitch mounted at the top of a telescoping riser assembly. An empty trailer can be secured to the trailer docking device in the same fashion as mounting a trailer to a tow vehicle, and once coupled, the trailer can be loaded and unloaded. This allows for more efficient use of garage space.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for autonomous data collection and system control of a material recovery or recycling facility. In some embodiments, a central control system receives inputs in the form of at least one data stream from each of one or more environmental sensors that reflect the status of a material recovery facility (MRF). The inputs are used to determine the operating status of one or more components of the MRF, and/or composition of a waste stream being processed by the MRF. At least one material handling unit is controlled in response to the inputs to optimize the recovery and/or purity of recyclable or recoverable materials from the waste stream. A service unit or mechanism may also be controlled in response to the inputs indicating that a component of the MRF requires servicing.
