    摘要: The present invention relates to a nutrient solution recycling plant cultivation system, which recycles and supplies a cultivation nutrient solution and measures in real time the composition of each nutrient component to be added to a waste nutrient solution through a so-called soft sensor using measured values of pH, EC, temperature, turbidity, and weight and a previously constructed estimation model instead of an expensive high-performance analyzer, thereby minimizing nutrient solution consumption while meeting a required level of accuracy.

    摘要: A sand separation system and method for operating a sand separation system, in which the method includes separating sand from a fluid using a separator. The method includes, signaling for a blowdown unit to blowdown the separator, opening one or more blowdown valves of the blowdown unit coupled to the separator in response to the signaling, so as to blowdown the separator, and receiving the sand from the separator into a sand disposal unit. The sand passes through the one or more blowdown valves that are opened. The method includes measuring a weight of at least some of the sand that was separated in the separator using a load cell of the separator, a load cell of the sand disposal unit, or both, and determining a blowdown interval for subsequent blowdown operations of the separator based in part on the weight of the sand.

    摘要: Methods and systems for tracking an object comprise a horizontal surface upon which objects are to be placed, a weight sensor disposed on one side of the horizontal surface, and a processor in communication with the weight sensor. The processor is adapted to detect a change in weight measured by the weight sensor, to associate the detected weight change with an identified object and with a location on the horizontal surface, and to confirm whether a cause of the weight change at the location on the horizontal surface corresponds to a proper handling of the identified object.
