A method which eliminates the need to remove environmentally-unsafe hydrochloro-fluorocarbons from an air conditioning system prior to the removal of the system's evaporator coil for cleaning is disclosed. The method also eliminates the cutting and soldering steps which must be conducted on the air conditioner system's copper refrigerant transport lines every time an evaporator coil is now removed for cleaning. The method utilizes a reversibly separable ball valve assembly unit affixed to each of the AC system's two refrigerant transport lines to achieve removal of refrigerant from the evaporator coil and its subsequent safe storage within other components of the air-conditioning system until the cleaned evaporator coil is reinstalled and the refrigerant's flow into and out of the cleaned evaporator is restored according to the disclosed method.

ENTITY IDENTIFICATION USING MACHINE LEARNING

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for identification and re-identification of fish. In some implementations, first media representative of aquatic cargo is received. Second media based on the first media is generated, wherein a resolution of the second media is higher than a resolution of the first media. A cropped representation of the second media is generated. The cropped representation is provided to the machine learning model. In response to providing the cropped representation to the machine learning model, an embedding representing the cropped representation is generated using the machine learning model. The embedding is mapped to a high dimensional space. Data identifying the aquatic cargo is provided to a database, wherein the data identifying the aquatic cargo comprises an identifier of the aquatic cargo, the embedding, and a mapped region of the high dimensional space.
