  • High impedance fault detection and location accuracy
    Patent number: 12013427
    Abstract: High impedance fault (HIF) detection and location accuracy is provided. An HIF has random, irregular, and unsymmetrical characteristics, making such a fault difficult to detect in distribution grids via conventional relay measurements with relatively low resolution and accuracy. Embodiments disclosed herein provide a stochastic HIF monitoring and location scheme using high-resolution time-synchronized data in micro phasor measurement units (?-PMUs) for distribution network protection. In particular, a fault detection and location process is systematically designed based on feature selections, semi-supervised learning (SSL), and probabilistic learning.

  • Mobile device applications to measure blood pressure
    Patent number: 12011297
    Abstract: Various systems, techniques, and embodiments are disclosed for implementing a blood-pressure measurement method that does not require specialized equipment (such as inflatable blood pressure cuffs). The measurement can be taken from arterial locations within a user's finger, via the standard equipment and features of many widely-available consumer mobile devices. Such devices can be programmed to accurately and easily guide a user to press her finger on the screen of a device at a precise location, so that an accurate measurement can be taken. For example, guidance visualizations on a screen (such as finger silhouettes and animations) can be employed on the same screen on which a user presses her finger. Pressure sensitivity and optical camera readings are then used to calculate blood pressure for the user.
