Various embodiments described herein relate to automated setpoint generation for assets via cloud-based supervisory control. In this regard, a request to perform supervisory control with respect to an asset is received. The request comprises an asset identifier indicating an identity of the asset. In response to the request, one or more setpoints for the asset is determined based on the asset identifier. Also in response to the request, comfort constraint data indicative of one or more comfort constraints for an environment associated with the asset is determined based on the asset identifier. Furthermore, the one or more setpoints for the asset is adjusted based on the comfort constraint data.

A user interface for a thermostat that controls a radiator valve can include a user input member that is movable from a home position to a set point increase or decrease position to increase or decrease a set point temperature of the thermostat. In some embodiments, a return mechanism returns the user input member to the home position after being released from one of the set point increase and decrease positions. The user interface can include an indicator panel and controller that controls the indicator panel to provide an indication of when the set point temperature of the thermostat is being adjusted. The user interface can also include a lockout controller that prevents further set point temperature adjustments using the user interface when the set point temperature differs from the environmental temperature by a specified amount.

The electronic plumbing fixture fitting includes a user input module and a processor. The user input module includes a mechanism to receive from the user numerical value(s) of parameter(s) for water to be delivered through a discharge outlet of the electronic plumbing fixture fitting (e.g., a temperature) and a mechanism to deliver to the user the numerical value(s) of the parameter(s) via the water delivered through the discharge outlet of the electronic plumbing fixture fitting. Additionally, the processor includes a mechanism to learn a range of the numerical value(s) of the parameter(s) from a minimum value of the parameter to a maximum value of the parameter (e.g., from a lowest achievable temperature to a highest achievable temperature).

The present invention addresses to a laser blasting pipe for heating a scale removal treatment to be descended by electric cable, and a recirculation system with the objective of heating the scale removal solution, inside the production string during the time the reaction is taking place, in order to guarantee its efficiency. The laser blast pipe is a device similar to a metallic cylinder that can travel through the interior of a production string, being descended by gravity itself, and ascended by the action of the cable, being able to recirculate and heat the fluid. This heating would have the function of compensating the heat loss of the removal solution due to the heat exchange of the riser with the seabed, and maintaining the temperature of the reaction inside the production line in an optimal range of yield, thus aiming at increasing the reaction efficiency and the reduction of the time required for the removal of scale in the production string of the well.
