  • Patent number: 11604851
    Abstract: Frameworks and methods for generating early-warning indicators of impending nonlinear instabilities of a dynamical system are provided. In accordance with one aspect, the framework includes a data collector and a system identification (SI) modeler. The data collector is coupled to the dynamical system and collects pre-bifurcation data. The SI modeler predicts early-warning indicators of impending nonlinear instabilities using only the pre-bifurcation data and the SI modeler includes a means for extrapolating Fokker-Planck coefficients in response to the pre-bifurcation data to generate precursors to a Hopf bifurcation and/or to identify a type of the Hopf bifurcation and/or to forecast the limit-cycle oscillation (LCO) amplitudes of a post-bifurcation regime. In addition, the SI modeler predicts the locations of the Hopf bifurcation points, the type of the Hopf bifurcation and the LCO amplitudes of the post-bifurcation regime.

  • Patent number: 11585664
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for dataset simplification of N-dimensional signals captured for asset tracking are provided. An example method involves obtaining raw data from a data source onboard an asset and determining whether obtainment of the raw data results in satisfaction of a data logging trigger. The method further involves, when the data logging trigger is satisfied, performing a dataset simplification algorithm on a target set of data within the raw data to generate a simplified set of data, wherein the target set of data contains a time-variant N-dimensional signal, N>=1, and the dataset simplification algorithm is generalized for all N>=1. The method further involves transmitting the simplified set of data to a server.

  • Patent number: 11579122
    Abstract: A method for automatic diagnosis of a mechanical system of a group of mechanical systems sharing mechanical characteristics includes obtaining data relating to a vibration. The vibration-related data is acquired by a portable communications device configured to communicate with a remote processor. The processor automatically diagnoses the mechanical system by applying a relationship to the obtained vibration-related data. The relationship is based on sets of vibration-related data previously obtained from the mechanical systems. Each set of vibration-related data relates to vibrations of a mechanical system. The relationship is further based on sets of operation data previously obtained for mechanical systems of the group. Each set of operation data indicates a previous state of operation of a mechanical system. Each of the previous states of operation is associated with at least one of the previously obtained sets of vibration-related data.

  • Patent number: 11580913
    Abstract: A voltage-programmed display system allows measurement of effects on pixels in a panel that includes both active pixels and reference pixels coupled to a supply line and a programming line. The reference pixels are controlled so that they are not subject to substantial changes due to aging and operating conditions over time. A readout circuit is coupled to the active pixels and the reference pixels for reading at least one of current, voltage or charge from the pixels when they are supplied with known input signals. The readout circuit is subject to changes due to aging and operating conditions over time, but the readout values from the reference pixels are used to adjust the readout values from the active pixels to compensate for the unwanted effects.
