  • Patent number: 12286031
    Abstract: A cooling system in a fuel cell electric vehicle comprising a first chamber configured to contain relatively hot fluid and a second chamber configured to contain relatively cold fluid. The ratio of cooling power/fan power of a positive displacement device at a heat exchanger is monitored and thermal energy transfer between coolant and the chambers is controlled based on the ratio. When the ratio is above a pre-defined value or value range, thermal energy from the first chamber is provided to the coolant in the coolant circuit and passed into the heat exchanger, after which part of the thermal energy of cooled coolant leaving the heat exchanger is provided to and stored in the second chamber. The stored cold thermal energy is released from the second chamber when the ratio is below the pre-defined value or value range. The invention also relates to a method of controlling a cooling system.

  • Publication number: 20250080399
    Abstract: An alert triggered by an event in a managed information technology (IT) environment is received. An IT component associated with the alert is identified using a component extraction tool. A first set of recommended actions for the alert is output. A user-selected action for resolving the alert is received. Feedback data regarding whether the user-selected action resolved the alert is collected. Using learning algorithms, action-to-component likelihoods are updated based on the collected feedback data. Future action recommendations are modified based on the updated action-to-component likelihoods. The future action recommendations are stored in an actions library for subsequent alert resolutions.

  • Publication number: 20250066674
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for the production of needle coke in a delayed coker plant. The needle coke so obtained by the process of the present disclosure has a co-efficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of less than 1.2×10?6/° C. The process of the present disclosure eliminates the step of hydrotreating of the first feed and second feed for the production of good quality coke. The process of the present disclosure maximizes the production of the needle coke having low CTE and low sulfur content in the delayed coker coke drum.

    Abstract: An information technology (IT) component associated with a first alert having an alert type is identified. A first list of recommended actions associated with the IT component is output. The first list includes a recommended action. A first user input of a user-selected action is received. An alert-to-component likelihood between the IT component and the alert type is decreased based on a determination that the first list does not include the user-selected action. The IT component is identified as being associated with a second alert based on the alert-to-component likelihood exceeding an alert-to-component likelihood threshold. A second list of recommended actions associated with the IT component is output. The second list does not include the recommended action and includes the user-selected action.
