Abstract: Various embodiments address removal of one or more species from a gas stream by exposing the gas stream to divided portions of a fluid, such as droplets of water or mist, where the fluid, and/or content of the fluid, can absorb or modify the species and thereby remove it at least partially from the gas stream. Removal of CO2 from a combustion exhaust stream is one embodiment.

Abstract: Articles such as dual-barrel injectors are generally described. Associated systems and methods are also described. In some embodiments, the articles are useful for injecting viscous fluids, such as concentrated drug formulations. In certain embodiments, the article comprises a first conduit (e.g., for transporting a viscous fluid) and a second conduit (e.g., for transporting a lubricating fluid). In some embodiments, the fluid from the second conduit (e.g., a lubricating fluid) lubricates the flow of the fluid from the first conduit (e.g., a viscous drug) by surrounding the fluid from the first conduit, and the lower viscosity of the fluid from the second conduit allows the fluid from the first conduit to flow more easily through the system.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are articles, systems, and methods for the injection of viscous fluids. For example, inventive articles, systems, and methods for injecting viscous fluids, such as concentrated drug formulations, via droplet lubrication are described.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for automatically determining liquid coverage on plant surfaces. More particularly, in certain embodiments, presented herein is a system for receiving an image depicting one or more plant surfaces, automatically identifying the plant surfaces in the image and distinguishing portions covered by liquid, and automatically determining a liquid coverage value. In some embodiments, the system determines changes to liquid spraying parameters to achieve desired liquid coverage values. In some embodiments, the system uses two cameras to cooperatively conduct background removal in images and determination of liquid coverage.
