  • Adaptive alarm and dispatch system using incremental regressive model development
    Patent number: 11256244
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring an operational system. An initial set of sensor data is accumulated from a system over a substantially shorter time than is required to collect data to characterize a regression model for an operating parameter of the system. An initial regression model is created based on the initial set of sensor data. A subsequent set of sensor data is received from the at least one sensor after creating the initial regression model. An expected dependent value for the subsequent independent value is determined using the initial regression model. An operator is prompted to update the initial regression model based on a difference between a subsequent dependent value and the expected dependent value. The initial regression model is updated to incorporate the subsequent set of sensor data. A notification is provided based on a difference between presently received sensor data and the updated regression model.

  • Determination of the remaining life of a structural system based on acoustic emission signals
    Patent number: 9581570
    Abstract: In accordance with the present disclosure, a method of using acoustic emission data to predict the state of a structural element is described. The method includes capturing acoustic emission data for a structural element. The method further includes predicting the future stress intensity in the structural element using the captured acoustic emission data and calculating the probability of future failure of the structural element using the predicted future stress intensity.
