A method and system for removing volatile organic compounds from sludge advantageously utilizes a stripper for removing the VOCs directly from the sludge to convert the sludge into a non-hazardous material. The system and method are able to predict the COR in a non-destructive manner for a particular golf ball and impact speed. The guide frame is assembled with the receptacle connector, and comprises a frame body, a female latch unit and a stopping block. The amount of detected light energy is then used to calibrate a temperature measurement device that is used in the system. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. The captured configurations can be compared against a reference configuration that represents the healthy state of the installed equipment.
