Abstract:

A method for calculating carbon credits includes obtaining sensor data associated with at least a portion of a deployment for cultivating a target product in a body of water, executing at least one model based at least in part on the sensor data to generate an output predicting at least one characteristic associated with the target product, the deployment, or a portion of the body of water, and inputting the output into a quantification model. The quantification model is executed to generate an output associated with a predicted capacity of the target product to sequester carbon dioxide. An accuracy of the predicted capacity resulting from the output of the quantification model is greater than an accuracy of a predicted or inferred capacity resulting from the output of each model individually. Carbon dioxide offset credits are determined based on the predicted capacity resulting from the output of the quantification model.

Abstract:

A multi-grain selector device includes an outer body having exterior surfaces. The outer body includes a cooling side configured to face a cooling plate of a casting furnace and an opposite mold side configured to face into a mold. The outer body includes an array of multiple grain selector columns each formed from two or more transversely oriented, elongated channels that are fluidly coupled with each other in an end-to-end arrangement oriented along a growth direction that extends from the cooling side of the outer body toward the mold side of the outer body. The selector columns extend to growth openings on the mold side of the outer body. Each of the selector columns is configured to form a single grain column out of the corresponding growth opening that is part of a columnar grained article to be formed in the mold that grows along the growth direction.
