Embodiments are configured to process runway condition data aggregated from a plurality of runway condition data sources that describe a surface condition associated with a plurality of sections of a runway in order to generate adjusted runway condition codes for the plurality of sections of the runway. The adjusted runway condition codes are generated by the runway condition model based on a confidence associated with initial runway condition codes associated with the plurality of sections of the runway. Embodiments are configured to generate required landing parameters for the plurality of sections of the runway in order to determine a required runway length for a respective vehicle.
A wearable device for emergency event evacuation and rescue is described herein. The wearable device can include a memory, and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to receive, while the wearable device is being worn by an occupant of a facility, a notification of an emergency event occurring in the facility, and transmit, responsive to receiving the notification of the emergency event occurring in the facility, a current location of the occupant in the facility and current health data of the occupant of the facility.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC RESPONSE TO PANIC ALARM BASED ON SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
A video stream captures at least part of the region of the facility and video analytics is performed to identify one or more video identified events. One or more sensor identified events are received and a current status of the region of the facility is classified into one of a plurality of predetermined status categories based at least in part on the one or more video identified events and the one or more sensor identified events. Activation of a panic button causes a panic alarm to be issued, wherein the panic alarm is issued as a silent panic alarm when the current status of the region is classified in a first predetermined status category and is issued as an audible panic alarm when the current status of the region is classified in a second predetermined status category.

SENSOR INSTALLATION CALIBRATION FOR SIX-WAY BLADE MONITORING
Embodiments are directed to calibration of a blade and/or attachment member coupled to the body of a vehicle, such as a bulldozer. By analyzing attitude measurements of the blade and attachment member corresponding to directed movements of the vehicle, calibration parameters such as the offset angles of the blade (and attachment member) relative to the body can be determined. Other calibration variables, such as the maximum swing angles of the blade relative to the attachment member, can also be determined.

The electrically insulative housing includes one or more wire receiving apertures on a first side of the electrically insulative housing, one or more test probe apertures on a second side of the electrically insulative housing, and one or more terminal pin apertures on a third side of the electrically insulative housing. Each of the one or more electrical terminals are configured to releasably receive an electrical wire, to provide one or more electrical test pads and to releasably receive one or more terminal pins of the electronic module, as well as to electrically connect the electrical wire, a corresponding terminal pin and a corresponding electrical test pad.
Integrated steam cracking processes and hydrogen production processes are described. The steam cracker off gas stream and the synthesis gas stream are sent to the separation zone of the hydrogen production process and separated into a hydrogen stream, a carbon dioxide stream, and a second off gas stream in a separation zone. The second off gas stream comprises methane from the synthesis gas and methane from the steam cracker off gas stream, as well as carbon monoxide from the synthesis gas stream. All or a portion of the hydrogen product stream is sent to the steam cracking zone as fuel for the steam cracker reactor. The remainder (if any) of the hydrogen product stream can be recovered. The second off gas stream is sent to the hydrogen production zone as feed for the synthesis gas reactor. The carbon dioxide can be recovered.

SYSTEMS AND PROCESS FOR CALIBRATING A SENSOR USED IN A SULFUR EXTRACTION PROCESS
Systems and processes for removing sulfur compounds from a hydrocarbon stream. Sulfur compounds are extracted from a hydrocarbon feed stream with a caustic stream to provide a treated hydrocarbon stream and a rich caustic stream. The sulfur compounds in the rich caustic stream are oxidized in the presence of a catalyst to provide a lean caustic stream. The lean caustic stream is returned to extract sulfur from the hydrocarbon stream. Data such as a concentration of sulfurs species and degree of caustic saturation with the sulfur species in the rich caustic stream may be provided by a sensor, compared against other real-time or historical data and used to provide a recommended adjustment to process conditions associated with an extraction unit, or an oxidation unit, or both.
