Abdulaziz M. Alnutaifi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11906951
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining acquired process data regarding a plant process that is performed by a plant system. The method may further include obtaining from a process model, simulated process data regarding the plant process. The method may further include determining drift data for the process model based on a difference between the acquired process data and the simulated process data. The drift data may correspond to an amount of model drift associated with the process model. The method may further include determining whether the drift data satisfies a predetermined criterion. The method further includes determining, in response to determining that the drift data fails to satisfy the predetermined criterion, a model update for the process model.

  • Publication number: 20230147522
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining, from a camera device, thermal image data for a steam area of a plant facility. The steam area may include a steam trap for a steam network. The method may further include obtaining plant steam data regarding the steam trap. The method may further include determining pixel data regarding the steam trap using the thermal image data and an image segmentation process. The method further includes determining various temperature values across the steam trap using the pixel data. The method may further include determining predicted steam trap data using the temperature values, the plant steam data, and a machine-learning model. The method may further include transmitting a command that adjusts one or more parameters of the steam network based on the predicted steam trap data.
