  • Publication number: 20220414505
    Abstract: Systems, methods, non-transitory computer readable media can be configured to access a plurality of sensor logs corresponding to a first machine, each sensor log spanning at least a first period; access first computer readable logs corresponding to the first machine, each computer readable log spanning at least the first period, the computer readable logs comprising a maintenance log comprising a plurality of maintenance task objects, each maintenance task object comprising a time and a maintenance task type; determine a set of statistical metrics derived from the sensor logs; determine a set of log metrics derived from the computer readable logs; and determine, using a risk model that receives the statistical metrics and log metrics as inputs, fault probabilities or risk scores indicative of one or more fault types occurring in the first machine within a second period.

  • Publication number: 20210157477
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided that display various geographic maps and depth graphs in an interactive user interface in substantially real-time in response to input from a user in order to determine information related to measured data points, depth levels, and geological layers and provide the determined information to the user in the interactive user interface. For example, a computing device may be configured to retrieve data from one or more databases and generate one or more interactive user interfaces. The one or more interactive user interfaces may display the retrieved data in a geographic map, a heat map, a cross-plot graph, or one or more depth graphs. The user interface may be interactive in that a user may manipulate any of the graphs to identify trends or current or future issues.

  • Publication number: 20150345711
    Abstract: An exemplary surge-based flow isolation system embodiment comprises a surge detection component, an automated isolation valve and a controller communicatively coupled to both. When the surge detection component senses a substantial change in a monitored variable associated with a fluid in a pipe, a signal is sent to the controller that, in turn, instructs the valve to isolate the flow. It is envisioned that the variable may be, but is not limited to being, flow rate or pressure. Advantageously, a surge-based flow isolation system may be able to shut off a supply pipe, such as a water supply pipe servicing a house, in the event that the pipe ruptures due to a freezing ambient environment.
