    摘要: Adaptive control of a system with a human in the loop is accomplished by sensing human operator reactions to a disturbance in the system and characterizing the operator response to the disturbance. The operator response is characterized in one of several forms by predicting a response based on a model quantifying a response based on statistics or merely measuring a response for accumulation of data to be employed by an artificial intelligent system. The disturbance which provides the human operator reaction, is applied or occurs naturally based on other stimulus and is measured by the system. Quantifying the results of the disturbance and the operator response comparison allows selection of a control mode by identifying one or more categories of reaction response or a graduated modification of the control law employed in the system. Various modes or categories for control of the system incorporate different sensitivities on a macro scale or an entirely different control algorithm. Graduated adaptation alters sensitivity or other perimeters in the system at a micro level incrementally throughout given ranges of control.

    摘要: Petroleous production is associated with effluents well known to foul lines, nozzles, and containers while consuming substantial energy to assist in both production and remediation. A heat exchanger and manifold system maximizes flows, minimizes changes in flow cross-section, and maximizes heat transfer area, while recycling both water and heat between processes. Dirty regions and clean regions result from scrubbing horizontal exhaust stacks and evaporation of production water in concert to remediate one another, while recycling a significant portion of the energy consumed by each. The heat exchanger relies on a manifold having many layered conduits, each connected to a single layer level of one or more cylindrical conduits in the exchanger. The cylinders of the exchanger themselves are arranged in multiple layers, each layer of a heat exchanger element being connected to a single layer of the manifold. Any shape of cylinder may work, but a right circular cylinder having corrugated sheets spacing the layers may be simple to construct.

    摘要: A cuff for measuring volume and change in volume of a body appendage includes a hollow, rigid tube having an inner surface; and a bladder having an inner surface and an outer surface, the ends of the bladder being sealed to the ends of the tube to create an enclosed internal volume between the inner surface of the bladder and the inner surface of the tube and an external volume defined by the outer surface of the bladder and surrounded by the internal volume, the bladder having a normal, relaxed state, in which the internal volume is filled with a fluid and a retracted state in which the fluid is evacuated from the internal volume. Two stiffener ribs placed on the inner surface of the bladder, parallel to each other and to the lengthwise axis of the tube at diametrically opposite positions. A plurality of emitters and detectors arranged in a linear array are embedded in one of the ribs, so as to emit and detect light through the bladder. A fluid port extending through the tube and communicating with the internal volume, through which the internal volume can be filled with or emptied of the fluid.

    摘要: A radio frequency energy management system includes a number of battery control modules and an control unit, each configured to transmit and receive radio frequency signals comprising information relating to the operating parameters of batteries in a battery pack, and control commands for regulating the operating parameters of such batteries. Each battery control module is configured to monitor one or more operating parameter of a respective battery, and to regulate one or more operating parameter according to a control system program in the control unit. Each battery control module includes one or more sensing elements to measure one or more operating parameter of a respective battery, a radio frequency receiver, and a radio frequency transmitter. The control unit is configured to monitor and control the operating parameters of the batteries and includes a radio frequency receiver, configured to receive a radio frequency signal transmitted by the radio frequency transmitter in each battery control module, and a radio frequency transmitter configured to transmit a radio frequency signal capable of being received by the radio frequency receiver in each battery control module. The control unit evaluates data transmitted from each battery control module according to a predetermined control system program, and transmits a predetermined control command to one or more battery control module to achieve battery equalization. Radio frequency signals are transmitted between the control unit and each battery control module without additional wiring, thereby eliminating the disadvantages of wired-type systems.

    摘要: For sealing a pipeline at selective locations in order to perform leak tests, a pipeline packer assembly capable of internal travel within the pipeline can be moved to and stopped at selected locations and the packer inflated against the interior pipe walls to prevent further movement of the unit, and to provide a seal so that the pipeline may be subjected to internal high pressures to detect leaks. According to the invention, a control device for such unit comprises a gamma ray detector and signal processor receiving the electrical analogue signal from the gamma ray detector. An energizing signal from the signal processor actuates a stepping switch which provides "inflate" and "deflate" energization of the packer, and is kept in "off" condition while the packer is inoperative as in transit within the pipeline. A radiation source on the surface or selectively inserted into a bore hole near the pipeline provides a stimulus for the gamma ray detector which controls the operation of the stepping switch. The insertion and subsequent withdrawal of the radiation source from the vicinity of the pipe adjacent the control unit, successively causes the successive stepping of the stepping switch to "inflate", "deflate" and "off" conditions. The assembly is moved through the pipeline at low pressure, and the pipeline subjected to high pressure behind the packer when it is inflated, thereby to permit leak detection at successive locations within the pipeline.

    摘要: An accelerated vapor recompression apparatus 10 converts incoming flow 35a to a concentrate 35c by developing a concentration profile 146 within a tank 30 holding a liquid 23 containing dissolved solids. The resulting curve 160 of saturation temperature of the stratified liquid 23 (such as a brine 23 or other material 23) moves away from the curve 162 corresponding to fully mixed conditions. The shift 174, 180 in saturation temperature results in increased boiling without increased energy from a heater 70 or compressor 50. A method 90, 200 of control of the system provides interventions 203, 204, 205, 206 at different levels 92, 94, 96, 98 of control, ranging from mass flows 35 to work of a compressor 50, heat from a heater 70, and a predictive processing 215 of feedback 217 for controlling commands 216 algorithmically.
