A refrigeration system includes at least one compressor and an oil separator fluidly coupled to the compressor. The oil separator is positioned downstream of the compressor and is configured to receive a fluid output from the compressor. The oil separator includes a housing including a first end including a first outer surface and a first inner surface; a second end including a second outer surface and a second inner surface; a sidewall, the first end, the second end, and the sidewall defining a centrifugal chamber. The refrigeration system includes a fluid inlet positioned on the sidewall adjacent the first end, a coolant outlet positioned adjacent the first end, an oil outlet positioned adjacent the second end, and a filter fluidly coupled to the coolant outlet, the filter extending from the first inner surface of the first end to the second inner surface of the second end.
Management of fuel dispenser media is provided. In general, a fuel dispenser can be in communication with a media library configured to facilitate delivery of media to the fuel dispenser for output therefrom. The media library can be on board the fuel dispenser or can be included in a gateway configured to communicate with the fuel dispenser. The media library is configured to query one or more media sources for media information and to retrieve media information therefrom that is specific to the fuel dispenser. Additionally or alternatively, the media library is configured to query the one or more media sources for updates to the retrieved media information and, if updated, to retrieve the updated media content from the media source(s).

Embodiments are directed to nozzles for three-dimensional printing and related nozzle assemblies and methods. An example nozzle includes at least one top surface, at least one bottom surface, and at least one nozzle lateral surface extending from or near the top surface to or near the bottom surface. The nozzle also includes at least one conduit surface defining a conduit. At least a portion of the conduit surface comprise at least one of polycrystalline diamond (“PCD”), polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (“PcBN”), or another suitable superhard material. The nozzle may be attached to a base to form a nozzle assembly.
A method of processing a superabrasive element includes defining a protective layer over a selected portion of a superabrasive element. The method includes exposing at least a portion of the superabrasive element to a leaching solution. A superabrasive element has a superabrasive table that includes a leached volume extending from the superabrasive face to a portion of the chamfer proximate to the superabrasive side surface.

A method for detecting and mitigating hazard events within a dispensing environment including a dispenser are provided. The method can include receiving image data of an area within the dispensing environment and determining segmentation frames therein. An initial state of a hazard event within a segmentation frame can be determined based on pixel data within the segmentation frame exceeding a threshold. A persisted state of the hazard event can be determined based on receiving additional image data having a magnified field of view of the area and determining segmentation frames therein. Based on pixel data within the additional image data exceeding the threshold, the method includes generating and providing one or more control signals controlling operation of the dispenser. Related systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable mediums are also provided.
