    摘要: A method of forming a metal material comprises exposing one or more metal oxide materials to one or more of a reducing agent and a reducing atmosphere to form one or more non-stoichiometric metal oxide materials and electrochemically reducing the one or more non-stoichiometric metal oxide materials to a metal material or a metal alloy. A system comprising one or more electrochemical cells and a working electrode comprising one or more non-stoichiometric metal oxide materials exhibiting an anion-deficient oxide structure is also disclosed, in addition to a metal material including a porous metal or a porous metal alloy that exhibits an oxygen content of less than or equal to about 1200 parts per million.

    摘要: A method of monitoring and controlling network traffic within an industrial control system including receiving one or more data packets at a smart network switching system operating software-defined networking, analyzing the one or more data packets at a protocol level within a control plane of the software-defined networking, based on the analysis, determining whether the one or more data packets are authorized data packets, and forwarding a data packet of the one or more data packets to a destination device within a data plane of the software-defined networking upon determining that the data packet is an authorized data packet. The method further includes providing information related to the analysis of the one or more data packets to an out-of-band monitoring and control system for display to a user, and receiving a response communication from the out-of-band monitoring and control system indicating whether the one or more data packets are authorized data packets.

    摘要: An ablation chamber assembly, comprising a chamber, a support structure, and a liner. The chamber may have a fluid inlet, a central cavity, and a fluid outlet. The support structure may be disposed in the interior cavity and include a support flange and a fluid passageway defined through the support structure. The liner may be disposed in the chamber over the support flange of the support structure. The liner may include a central opening and one or more sample chambers spaced about the central opening. The one or more sample chambers may be configured to receive testing samples. The support structure fluid passageway may be configured to direct a fluid from the fluid inlet into one sample chamber of the one or more sample chambers through the central opening of the liner and out the fluid outlet.

    摘要: An energy storage device (ESD) manager may be configured to utilize and/or develop aging models configured to model age-related performance degradation predicted to be incurred by an ESD under respective operating conditions. The aging model of an ESD may be used to determine operating conditions that satisfy the performance and/or endurance requirements of an application. The ESD manager may generate a policy to manage operation of the ESD in accordance with the determined operating conditions. For example, the aging model may be used to determine discharge conditions predicted to ensure that performance degradation incurred by the ESD remains below a threshold for a specified usage period. The discharge conditions may be used to determine a discharge configuration adapted to configure the application to utilize the ESD in accordance with the determined discharge conditions.
