  • Publication number: 20190162588
    Abstract: A method includes collecting a data for a time from sensors to a fixed monitoring system. The fixed monitoring system is fixedly coupled to a turbo-machinery and the sensors are configured to monitor the turbo-machinery, also, the time comprises at least one week. The method also includes recovering the data by coupling a portable machinery monitor to the fixed monitoring system and retrieving the data into the portable machinery monitor. The method also includes analyzing the data to determine one or more machinery conditions. The analyzing the data comprises analyzing the data via the portable machinery monitor, an external system, or any combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20180133638
    Abstract: An improved air filter assembly for removing particles from air flow across the filter assembly utilizing a tackifier material in combination with an antibacterial substance. The air filter assembly comprises a peripheral frame adapted to be supported in communication with an intake opening in a residential return air duct; and a filter media mounted within the frame for removing particulate from air flowing from an upstream side of the filter assembly to a downstream side of the air filter assembly. The downstream side of the filter media comprises a layer of filter media treated with the tackifier material or a sticky oil and the antimicrobial substance.

  • Publication number: 20080059597
    Abstract: A message broker can allow any server in a cluster to publish to, and subscribe, to a message channel. A server subscribing to a channel can set up a message filter such that XQuery expressions can be used to filter against the messages arriving on the channel A message broker can also utilize a unique filtering algorithm to optimize data access. Static subscription information can be captured in order for a message broker to do client-side filtering. A message broker can also construct and maintain at least one table in memory that indicates whether any server in the cluster may ever do a dynamic subscription. For dynamic subscriptions, the publishing server can extract the information from a database, such as by executing a DBMS select on a subscription table using a primary key lookup.
