This document describes radar tracking with model estimates augmented by radar detections. An example tracker analyzes information derived using radar detections to enhance radar tracks having object measurements estimated from directly analyzing data cubes with a model (e.g., a machine-learning model). High-quality tracks with measurements to objects of importance can be quickly produced with the model. However, the model only estimates measurements for classes of objects its training or programming can recognize. To improve estimated measurements from the model, or even in some cases, to convey additional classes of objects, the tracker separately analyzes detections. Detections that consistently align to objects recognized by the model can update model-derived measurements conveyed initially in the tracks. Consistently observed detections that do not align to existing tracks may be used to establish new tracks for conveying more classes of objects than the model can recognize.

A system and method for preparing epoxy chloropropane is provided in that by coupling three stages of high gravity reactors, the product epoxy chloropropane and water vapor are distilled from a reaction system in form of an azeotrope by adopting a water vapor steam stripping method. Further, by combining the azeotrope with the multiples stages of high gravity reactors, the gas phase mass transfer and the liquid phase mass transfer of the azeotrope are improved aiming at the features of the azeotrope in the reaction system, thus making the overall conversion rate higher. In addition, by combining steam stripping and high gravity, dichloropropanol and alkali solution are rapidly mixed for mass transfer, and the product epoxy chloropropane is rapidly distilled from the reaction system in the form of the azeotrope, such that the reaction proceeds continuously towards the direction of producing epoxy chloropropane, thus significantly improving the conversion rate.
