  • Patent number: 8347144
    Abstract: A method for reducing false alarms in a monitoring system comprising the steps of: providing an initial fault set (or a preliminary fault set) and using a decision process to successively reduce this initial fault set to a fault ensemble, said decision process using increasing probability or confidence in the initial fault set to generate the fault ensemble, which is considered to reflect a true abnormal condition; the decision process comprising at least two steps: the first step is generating a preliminary fault set by using a standard anomaly detection method with the additional variable (or adaptive) thresholds or temporal filters; the second step is using the preliminary fault set to generate at least one fault ensemble, each of which comprises a reduced number of refined faults that represent a more confident explanation of the cause(s) of an abnormal condition.

  • Patent number: 7967157
    Abstract: An array of stillages mounted on top of each other or one stillage is able to be disposed at an angle to another. The advantage of this arrangement is that space between adjacent stillages in an array can be adjusted to hold a range of different sized articles during transport. A further advantage is that once the articles have reached their destination, the array of stillages can be further adjusted to angle one platform relative to another. In this way articles, which have been transported can then be displayed professionally by reconfiguring the array of stillages after reaching a destination.

  • Patent number: 7886482
    Abstract: A kit for a mobile gardening cart that includes the following: a base structure, form, storage areas, and a plurality of wheels to allow it to pivot in any directions, coupled to a base and an upright frame structure with reasonable braced support, linage/connection to a main vertical frame, and multiple stackable container forms to be placed parallel to each other in an ascending upward fashion.

  • Patent number: 7864697
    Abstract: Provided is a method of determining a spectrum management of digital communication systems having a plurality of communication lines by determination of the power levels within each band, for each user, assuming a predetermined maximum interference from other users. The spectral management center has a power allocation determinator for receiving a modelled power level and a noise weight from each user communication line and is able to determine allocated power of its respective communication line based on the optimised determined power needs of the plurality of communication lines of the digital communication systems. In one form the calculations are undertaken in the SMC. In another form the master is undertaken in the SMC while the slave is undertaken at the user's modem and the power level of an individual communication line and its interference by adjacent lines is determined at the user's modem and communicated to the spectral management center.

  • Patent number: 7813293
    Abstract: A method for distributed spectrum management of digital communication systems having a plurality of communication lines on which signals are transmitted and received by respective users, the method comprising the steps of: collecting information about line, signal and interference characteristics of a plurality of the communication lines from a plurality of sources; determining the line, signal and interference characteristics of a plurality of the communication lines; varying power allocation of particular plurality of the communication lines between respective transmitter and receiver taking into consideration the determined line, signal and interference characteristics of a plurality of the communication lines and consideration of a noise weight of a plurality of the communication lines to enable a minimum power on a plurality of the communication lines and to allow required effective data-rates for each of said respective users to be satisfied.
