  • Publication number: 20240160720
    Abstract: Technology disclosed herein describes a system and method for aggregating event information in an industrial automation system for analysis and response. In an implementation, industrial automation devices perform industrial automation processes in an industrial automation environment. A computing device receives event data relating to events that occurred on an associated industrial automation device of the industrial automation devices. The computing device normalizes the event data to generate normalized event data which describes the events. The computing device supplements the normalized event data with context information relevant to the associated industrial automation device to generate complete event data. The computing device identifies an anomaly for an industrial automation device of the industrial automation devices based on analyzing the complete event data associated with the industrial automation device.

  • Patent number: 5372790
    Abstract: A vertical reactor system having a plurality of substantially vertically aligned reaction compartments one on top of the other, the reactant materials (and catalyst and solvent, if desired), flowable from a first top compartment through intermediate compartments, if any, to a bottom compartment from which a desired product of a reaction of the reactant materials is withdrawn, the compartments having inlets for the addition of additional reactants, catalysts, or solvents and outlets for withdrawing by-products, vapors, and water from any compartment, and processes for producing products using such a system. In one embodiment the product is a liquid epoxy resin. Stirring impellers may be provided in any compartment. A liquid seal may be provided on a shaft for the impellers and, in one embodiment the seals in each compartment may be elevated above the liquid in the compartments.
    Type: Grant
