Abstract: The present invention relates to an electricity meter assembly including a sensor module to connect to an electrical system, a meter, and a removable expansion module. The sensor module receives voltage and current signals, generating corresponding measurement signals. The meter's measurement module processes these signals, generating energy consumption data and determining short and open circuit conditions. The removable expansion module, guided by the meter, produces a detection current of a specific frequency, distinct from the electrical system's signals. Also disclosed is a specific configuration of the removable expansion module, designed to attach to a power meter, with components for control, generation, and transmission of specific AC signals.

Abstract: A computer-implemented solution is provided to allow electronic locks to implement commands more complex than simply opening or closing, such as timeframe-dependent commands, without requiring an access to the Internet at the time of access. At a remote computer, such as a cloud server, computer-readable instructions initially provided in a sequence of plain text characters, are encrypted into a user code using format preserving encryption (FPE) (e.g. FF3-1). The user code is communicated to the user. The user can then input the user code into the electronic lock via a numerical keypad or other suitable means. The lock is provided with computer functionalities which include a functionality to decrypt the cipher text of the user code back into plain text programming instructions using a decryption key, and execute it. The execution can involve determining whether one or more authorization condition is/are satisfied.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing dehumidification to an enclosed space can include a dehumidification unit in a supply air plenum that receives return air and a regeneration unit in a scavenger air plenum that receives outdoor air. The system can operate in a wet mode and a dry mode, depending on outdoor air conditions and a relative humidity setpoint for the enclosed space. The dehumidification unit and regeneration unit are both operational in the wet mode to dehumidify the return air and regenerate dilute desiccant. In the dry mode, the dehumidification unit and regeneration unit are not needed, and dry outdoor air can be supplied to the enclosed space. A heat recovery system utilizes waste heat from either return air or scavenger air, depending on the operating mode, to heat the outdoor air before it is supplied to the enclosed space or before it is used for regenerating desiccant.

Abstract: A controller causes a signal to be received by a main control module (MCM) in a controller area network of a vehicle when the vehicle is determined to be speeding or when a set speed of a cruise control would result in speeding. The signal indicates to the MCM that a driver of the vehicle is braking. The signal is caused to be received by the MCM when the vehicle is determined to be speeding regardless of whether the driver of the vehicle is actually braking, whereby cruise control that is engaged is disengaged by the MCM. Such controller is utilized in conjunction with ADA systems, especially ISA systems, for enabling such systems to properly function without specific regard to the particular manufacturer and model of the cruise control module that may be used in a given vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for calibrating a current transformer, aimed at enhancing the accuracy of current measurements. The system comprises a current transformer equipped with a non-volatile memory, configured to store a unique identifying serial number. In conjunction with this, a power meter is set up to communicate with the current transformer. The power meter is fitted with a reading module designed to read the unique identifying serial number from the non-volatile memory of the current transformer. The system also includes a server, connected to communicate with the power meter. The server possesses a database that stores calibration data associated with the unique identifying serial numbers. The server is programmed to receive the unique identifying serial number from the power meter and transmit the corresponding calibration data back to the power meter, enabling precise calibration of the current transformer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adding process actions to the design of a robotic software process. A context-recognition module recognizes a current state of a process being designed, and passes information on that current state to a recommendation module. The recommendation module evaluates the current state and identifies at least one suitable process action to recommend in response to that current state. The recommendation module then recommends the at least one process action to the human designer. If the designer accepts the recommendation, a design module adds the process action to the process design. The recommendation module may also use information about previous actions in the process and in other processes when identifying suitable process actions. The context-recognition module and the recommendation module may each comprise at least one machine learning module, which may or may not be neural network based.

Integral to the device's operation is a machine-readable code affixed to the current transformer. This code, encoded with calibration data specific to the current transformer's performance characteristics, ensures precise measurements and enhances the device's overall reliability and functionality.

Abstract: A system identifying anomalies in an image of an object is first trained using first sets of images corresponding to first anomaly types for the object. A model of the object is formed in a latent space. A label for each anomalous image is used to calculate vectors containing means and standard deviations for each first anomaly types. The means and standard deviations are used to calculate a log-likelihood loss for each first anomaly type. The system is retrained using second sets of images corresponding to second anomaly types for the object. The vectors are supplemented using labels for each second anomaly types. A statistically sufficient sample of information in the means and standard deviations vectors is supplied to the latent space. A log-likelihood loss for each of the first and second anomaly types is calculated based on their respective mean and standard deviation.
