A user interface for a beer recipe creator may have a series of icons that may represent ingredients. A user may drag and drop or otherwise add the icons to containers on a display screen to add or remove ingredients to the recipe. With each added or removed ingredient, a set of descriptors may be updated. The descriptors may include numerical values of beer parameters as well as textual descriptions and visual descriptions. The system may allow a user to start with a desired beer style, and the parameters may show variances from the selected style. The system may generate an ingredients list, as well as a brewing recipe that may be transferred to a controller for a beer making machine. The system may adjust certain parameters that are controllable by the beer making machine to make flavor and other adjustments selected by a user.

A method for improving a chemical production process, wherein a derivative chemical product is produced through a derivative chemical production process based on at least some derivative process parameters at a chemical production facility, in which the chemical production facility comprises a facility intranet, wherein at least some derivative process parameters are measured from the derivative chemical production process by a production sensor computer system within the facility intranet and wherein a process model for simulating the derivative chemical production process is recorded in a process model management computer system outside the facility intranet. The invention also relates to a corresponding system for a chemical production process.

Systems and methods are provided for gathering and segregation of oil extracted from a resource fields with a plurality of disparate sources in relatively close proximity. Instead of assigning a quality and/or destination for crude oil from an extraction source based on the origin of the crude oil, the crude oil can be characterized while still in local storage at or near the wellhead prior to transport to a refinery, a shipping or pipeline terminal, or another type destination for crude oil. Based on the characterization, one or more characteristics of the crude oil can be used to assign the crude oil to one of a plurality of destinations. The crude oil can then be transported to the assigned destination.

This application discloses a computing system to implement sensor event detection and fusion system in an assisted or automated driving system of a vehicle. The computing system can monitor an environmental model to identify spatial locations in the environmental model populated with temporally-aligned measurement data. The computing system can analyze, on a per-sensor basis, the temporally-aligned measurement data at the spatial locations in the environmental model to detect one or more sensor measurement events. The computing system can utilize the sensor measurement events to identify at least one detection event indicative of an object proximate to the vehicle. The computing system can combine the detection event with at least one of another detection event, a sensor measurement event, or other measurement data to generate a fused detection event. A control system for the vehicle can control operation of the vehicle based, at least in part, on the detection event.

The present invention relates to a method of controlling a multivalent energy supply system comprising at least two energy generators which use at least two different energy carriers in order to provide energy in the form of heat and/or cold and/or electrical energy. The energy supply system further comprises a closed-loop controller for each energy generator for controlling controlled variables of the energy generator and a control device for coordinatedly controlling the closed-loop controllers. The control device detects at least one energy supply request for at least one energy form of heat and/or cold and/or electrical energy. For each energy generator, the control device determines target values for meeting the at least one energy supply request based on the particular energy carrier being used, wherein the target values may also include instructions for switching the energy generator on or off, and outputs the target values to the closed-loop controllers.
