Abstract: A method for determining a fugitive emission factor (EF) and a leakage rate of a combustion source. For a combustion source capable of performing stack emission and fugitive emission, an organized EF, a fugitive EF, and a leakage rate of fugitive emission are respectively obtained through calculation based on material balance. The method solves the problem that it is impossible to collect a total amount of smoke and to quantify its volume in a field test and the problem that a conventional carbon mass balance (CMB) method cannot distinguish organized leakage from fugitive leakage. The method can be used not only for determining gas leaked from residential indoor stoves using coal, biomass, etc., but also for determining fugitive emissions from other sources, such as the amount of gas leaked to the surrounding environment through the body of a brick kiln in a brick and tile factory.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a computer-implemented technique for creating a log chain from multiple software component logs. The log chain can include log information from multiple software components that interact with each other. In embodiments, a locality-sensitive hashing technique is used to create a signature of a log chain. Machine-learning systems are trained with log chains generated from test execution, and/or log chains from incidents with deployed software. In embodiments, logs are pre-processed by tokenizing and trimming. Logs from various components that interact with each other may be combined into a temporally sequential log chain. The signature of the log chain may be used to identify additional information about the error from a machine-learning process that was trained on previously generated log chains. In this way, the time required to identify a problem can be significantly reduced, resulting in increased reliability and availability of complex computer systems.
