Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for attenuating flow ripple generated by a hydraulic pump. In certain aspects, a method and system for operating a hydraulic positive displacement pump according to a stabilized command profile are disclosed, such that flow ripple generated by operation of the pump according to the stabilized command profile is attenuated as compared to operation of the pump according to a corresponding nominal command profile. In other aspects, a pressure-balanced active buffer is disclosed that allow for at least partially cancelling flow ripple in a hydraulic circuit comprising a pump. In another aspect, a method for generating ripple maps for a pump is disclosed. Such ripple maps may be used, for example, to determine the stabilized command profile used to operate the pump, or may be used by the pressure-balanced active buffer to counteract ripple in the hydraulic circuit.

Abstract: A system for orchestrating an operation is disclosed. The system includes an case orchestration engine to identify a discrepancy in the operation, and to generate a plurality of hypotheses for resolving the discrepancy. The case orchestration engine further collects evidence pertaining to the discrepancy in the operation, evaluates each of the plurality of hypotheses based on a dialogue-driven feedback received from a user, and selects one of the plurality of hypotheses for resolving the discrepancy based on the evidence and an expected outcome of the operation. The case orchestration engine provides reasons for the discrepancy along with remedial measures for resolving the discrepancy based on the selected hypothesis, and then generates a plan for performing the operation to achieve the expected outcome based on the remedial measures.
