Abstract: Methods and devices for sealing a storage vessel or other apparatus are provided. A piston moves from a first position to a second position within a body to compress a sealing element, such as a metallic ring. One or more attachment elements connect the piston to the body. A removable pipe can be used for pump-out.

Abstract: There is provided an energy capture system. The system may comprise one or more rotor blades or solar panels and a compressor. The compressor is configured to be driven by the one or more rotor blades or solar panels to draw gas and to compress the gas, thereby producing a compressed material. The system further comprises a pressure receiver coupled to an output of the compressor and configured to receive the compressed material from the compressor. The system further comprises an energy recovery unit coupled to the pressure receiver and configured to receive the compressed material from the pressure receiver. The energy recovery unit is configured to generate mechanical and/or electrical energy using the compressed material.

Abstract: An anaerobic digester is provided. The anaerobic digester includes a biogas storage container comprising a semi-permeable membrane separating the biogas storage container into a first space and a second space, such that the first space is configured to be methane enriched and the second space is configured to be CO2 enriched. The anaerobic digester further includes a cover positioned over the biogas storage container for protecting the biogas storage container against the elements.

Abstract: Systems and methods for growing vegetation are provided. The disclosed systems (100) and methods (1100, 1200) use rotating growth mats (102) and a cutting device (112). The rotating growth mats and cutting device can be coupled to an anaerobic digester (402) to generated methane gas using vegetation grown on the growth mats. The systems and methods may further use C artificial light sources (108) and a nutrients delivery system (110) to assist growth.

Abstract: Systems and methods use sound waves for evaluating a fuel. The fuel supplied from a storage tank to an engine by a feed pipe can be evaluated by determining its properties based on the velocity of one or more sound waves in the fuel.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program product are described herein configured to transform an input model into a format that can be expressed causally in one or more phrases with a narrative representation. The methods, apparatuses, and computer program product may be configured to obtain the input model representing a data set composed of a plurality of nodes, a plurality of edges, and a plurality of paths and identify a path of maximal significance. The methods, apparatuses, and computer program product include identifying a subset of nodes from the plurality of nodes and a subset of edges from the plurality of edges associated with the path of maximal significance. The methods, apparatuses, and computer program product are configured to generate, using a natural language generation system, one or more phrases with a narrative representation describing the subset of nodes and the subset of edges associated with the path of maximal significance.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are described herein that are configured to generate an operator text in response to an alarm that is either received from an alarm or alert system or that is self-generated based on an analysis of one or more data feeds. The method of an example embodiment may include determining whether an operator text is to be generated in response to a received alert condition by performing data analysis operations comprising: analyzing, using a processor, a primary data feed and at least one confirmatory data feed to identify one or more features; and determining based on the detection of a feature in the primary data feed or the at least one confirmatory data feed satisfies at least one predetermined constraint. The method may further include generating an output text that is displayable in a user interface that describes at least a diagnosis for the feature that satisfied that at least one predetermined constraint.
