  • Publication number: 20250140032
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for offloading aircraft data. The aircraft data are received over a network data collection interface associated with an aircraft recording system (ARS). The ARS is adapted to produce aircraft-data messages via a message-broker proxy related to the data received. An associated message is received, and it is determined whether an event has occurred via an event detector process interface. Next, a tag is applied to the event based upon a determination that the event has occurred. The tagged event is then published via the message broker. A published event is received and then recorded to a file via a media recording process interface. It is then determined which data to offload from a recorded event file via a file manager. The associated data is then transmitted via a data offload pathway to a data hub.

  • Patent number: 12094202
    Abstract: A device, method and system for pruning video analytics parameters is provided. A device analyzes images from a camera installed at an installation location using a full initial machine learning model trained to detect objects in the images using video analytics parameters, the full initial machine learning model being independent of the installation location. The device gathers, for a period of time, statistics for: frequency of use of the video analytics parameters and/or error generation frequency in detecting the objects in the images. After the period of time, based on the statistics, the device determines that given video analytics parameters meets one or more pruning conditions; and, in response, prunes the given video analytics parameters such that the full initial machine learning model, initially provided for the camera, changes to an updated machine learning model for the camera.

  • Patent number: 11365132
    Abstract: A control system for a water treatment apparatus that includes a control valve assembly having a servo chamber in which a stationary port defining signal ports is located. A regeneration control disc sealingly engages and rotates on a planar surface of the port disc and selectively communicates fluid signals to water pressure operated components within the control valve. An electric motor located in a dry chamber is operatively coupled to the regeneration control disc and rotates the disc during a regeneration cycle. An encoder coupled to the control disc monitors its position and movement. A turbine assembly monitors water treated or to be treated and is electronically coupled to a regeneration controller. A sensor emits pulses related to rotation of the usage turbine and communicates these pulses to the controller which uses this information to determine when a regeneration is needed whereupon the drive motor is appropriately energized.
