Abstract: This disclosure creates a language that may describe how any type of equipment behaves. The scalable language may uniquely identify equipment and components of equipment. The language includes “words” comprising characters that can describe the sequence of operations of the equipment. The characters may describe characteristic signatures in power consumption signals of the equipment as well as components of the equipment over an operational cycle of the equipment. The characters, e.g., “glyphs” or “runes,” may use a scale-free format modeled after typography. These characters may be scaled to give different confidence levels when comparing the characters to monitored power consumption signals. The language also describes how the equipment transitions between events during the sequence of operation. A compiler may use this language to generate programming instructions that may cause processing circuitry to efficiently monitor equipment, including determining a state of health of the equipment.

Abstract: Acoustic touch and/or force sensing system architectures and methods for acoustic touch and/or force sensing can be used to detect a position of an object touching a surface and an amount of force applied to the surface by the object. The position and/or an applied force can be determined using time-of-flight (TOF) techniques, for example. Acoustic touch sensing can utilize transducers (e.g., piezoelectric) to simultaneously transmit ultrasonic waves along a surface and through a thickness of a deformable material. The location of the object and the applied force can be determined based on the amount of time elapsing between the transmission of the waves and receipt of the reflected waves. In some examples, an acoustic touch sensing system can be insensitive to water contact on the device surface, and thus acoustic touch sensing can be used for touch sensing in devices that may become wet or fully submerged in water.
