  • Publication number: 20250108934
    Abstract: A drag-reducing anticollision light for aircraft that includes a base that has convex-shaped left and right sides. A light housing that has suitable LEDs is mounted to the base, wherein the light housing is multistoried. A PC cover of an aerodynamic shape covers the light housing, and an upper base secures the PC cover to the base. Compared to conventional anticollision lights in aircraft, the anticollision light offers significantly less drag, thus saving fuel costs.

  • Publication number: 20240173726
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling separation of solid and liquid phases in a centrifugal basket of a centrifugal. The method includes the steps of monitoring at least associated values of the rotational speed of the centrifugal basket and a purging of the liquid phase from the centrifugal basket, wherein the purging of the liquid phase from the centrifugal basket is monitored using an accelerometer, determining a safe temporal range within which temporal range a wash water can be safely applied to the content of the centrifugal basket, and applying a wash water to the content of the centrifugal basket during at least a portion of the safe temporal range. A computer program product and a centrifugal system are provided for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 11740618
    Abstract: An industrial asset may have monitoring nodes that generate current monitoring node values representing a current operation of the industrial asset. An abnormality detection computer may detect when a monitoring node is currently being attacked or experiencing a fault based on a current feature vector, calculated in accordance with current monitoring node values, and a detection model that includes a decision boundary. A model updater (e.g., a continuous learning model updater) may determine an update time-frame (e.g., short-term, mid-term, long-term, etc.) associated with the system based on trigger occurrence detection (e.g., associated with a time-based trigger, a performance-based trigger, an event-based trigger, etc.). The model updater may then update the detection model in accordance with the determined update time-frame (and, in some embodiments, continuous learning).
