  • Patent number: 12147501
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an object detection system, including apparatuses and methods for object detection. An implementation may include receiving a first image frame from an ROI detection model that generated a first ROI boundary around a first object detected in the first image frame and subsequently receiving a second image frame. The implementation further includes predicting, using an ROI tracking model, that the first ROI boundary will be present in the second image frame and then detecting whether the first ROI boundary is in fact present in the second image frame. The implementation includes determining that the second image frame should be added to a training dataset for the ROI detection model when detecting that the ROI detection model did not generate the first ROI boundary in the second image frame as predicted and re-training the ROI detection model using the training dataset.

  • Patent number: 12135136
    Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes multiple circuit components that enable determining that a refrigerant leak is present in the HVAC system based on a signal. The circuit components then send a first set of instructions to a first set of control systems associated with one or more fans in response to the refrigerant leak being present. The first set of instructions causes the one or more fans to activate. The system then determines that the refrigerant leak signal is no longer present, and initiates a counter to detect when a period of time has passed in response to determining that the refrigerant leak signal is no longer present. The system then sends a second set of instructions to the first control system to cause the fans to return to base operating conditions in response to the counter indicating the period of time has passed.

  • Patent number: 12130598
    Abstract: A controller for operating building equipment of a building including processors and non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations including obtaining a first setpoint trajectory from a cloud computation system. The first setpoint trajectory includes setpoints for the building equipment or for a space of the building. The setpoints correspond to time steps of an optimization period. The operations include determining whether a connection between the controller and the cloud computation system is active or inactive at a time step of the optimization period and determining an active setpoint for the time step of the optimization period using either the first or second setpoint trajectory based on whether the connection between the controller and the cloud computation system is active or inactive at the time step. The operations include operating the building equipment based on the active setpoint.
