Systems and methods are disclosed for predicting a remaining useful life of a component. One method comprises receiving, by a component prediction system, one or more component data sets associated with one or more components of a moving object. Based on the received one or more component data sets, environmental and operational conditions experienced over a lifetime of each failed component may be identified and summarized. Then, the effects of the environmental and operational conditions on a lifetime of a component of interest may be determined by training an accelerated failure time model using the summarized environmental and operational conditions. Using the trained accelerated failure time model, a remaining useful life of the component of interest may be determined.

In order to test wafers, microchips and the like, electrical and/or electrochemical properties thereof are periodically measured using electrochemical processes and are stored. The test values are compared with each other in order to determine changes in the properties. The method is carried out using an apparatus designed as a measuring cell and including a test chamber which is located between an upper half-cell and a lower half-cell and through which electrolyte is conducted. The test chamber is closed by a cell cover which simultaneously presses a wafer against an O-seal in the direction of the upper half-cell. The opening forming the test chamber in the lower half-cell is closed by an O-seal, an anode disk and an anode cover.

Measurement data including data of a sand production rate from a sand metering sensor, pressure data from a pressure sensor, and data of a metal loss value from a metal loss sensor is obtained. A maximum sand erosional velocity ratio and a pressure drawdown are determined. An optimum choke valve setting is determined based on a predefined correlation between the sand production rate, the pressure drawdown, and the maximum sand erosional velocity ratio, in response to determining that the maximum sand erosional velocity ratio is not within a predetermined maximum sand erosional velocity ratio limit. An updated pressure drawdown produced by the determined optimum choke valve setting is within a predetermined pressure drawdown operating window. The surface choke valve is set based on the determined optimum choke valve setting. The well is shutdown by triggering an emergency shutdown device in response to determining that the obtained metal loss value has reached a predefined metal loss limit value.

Concrete can be one of the most durable building materials and structures made of concrete can have a long service life. Consumption is projected to reach approximately 40 billion tons in 2017. Despite this the testing of concrete at all stages of its life cycle is still in its early stages although testing for corrosion is well established. Further many of the tests today are time consuming, expensive, and provide results only after it has been poured and set. Embodiments of the invention provide concrete suppliers, construction companies, regulators, architects, and others with rapid testing and performance data regarding the cure, performance, corrosion of concrete at different points in its life cycle based upon a simple electrical tests that remove subjectivity, allow for rapid assessment, are integrable to the construction process, and provided full life cycle assessment. Wireless sensors can be embedded from initial loading through post-cure into service life.

A portable environmental testing system for environmental testing with particulate matter, such as sand and dust, is disclosed. The components of the system are largely contained within a modular container, such as an intermodal shipping container. The testing system uses a feeder to feed precise amounts of particulate matter into an injector, which injects the particulate matter into an airflow that leads to a nozzle assembly. The airflow itself is generated by a compressed air system. The material input station, for inputting particulate matter, includes operator protection features, like a negative draw fan. The system may be provided with wheels and a tow bar.
