  • Patent number: 11860212
    Abstract: A computer monitors a status of grid devices using sensor measurements. Sensor data is clustered using a predefined grouping distance value to define one or more sensor event clusters. A plurality of monitored devices is clustered using a predefined clustering distance value to define one or more asset clusters. A location is associated with each monitored device of the plurality of monitored devices. A distance is computed between each sensor event cluster and each asset cluster. When the computed distance is less than or equal to a predefined asset/sensor distance value for a sensor event cluster and an asset cluster, an asset identifier of the asset cluster associated with the computed distance is added to an asset event list. For each asset cluster included in the asset event list, an asset location of an asset is shown on a map in a graphical user interface presented in a display.

  • Patent number: 11685200
    Abstract: A automated tire chaining assembly includes a housing that is positioned above a respective one of a plurality of tires on a vehicle. A chain is formed into a closed loop and the chain extending through each of an entry and an exit of the housing. The chain is positionable in a deployed position having the chain being dropped downwardly around the respective tire to enhance traction of the tire on a slippery surface. A deploying unit is movably attached to the housing and the deploying unit engages the chain. The deploying unit urges the chain between the stored position and the deployed position. Additionally, the chain extends in front of the respective tire when the deploying unit urges the chain into the deployed position thereby facilitating the respective tire to roll over the chain.

  • Patent number: 11322976
    Abstract: Operational events associated with a target physical device can be detected for mitigation by implementing some aspects described herein. For example, a system can apply a sliding window to received sensor measurements at successive time intervals to generate a set of data windows. The system can determine a set of eigenvectors associated with the set of data windows by performing principal component analysis on a set of data points in the set of data windows. The system can determine a set of angle changes between pairs of eigenvectors. The system can generate a measurement profile by executing an integral transform on the set of angle changes. One or more trained machine-learning models are configured to detect an operational event associated with the target physical device based on the measurement profile and generate an output indicating the operational event.

  • Patent number: 10740548
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented for flexibly building a dynamic report using a heterogeneous mix of dimensions, segments, and metrics. Within a report building tool a user may introduce any number of dimensions and segments at any point within a generated report. Further within the report building tool, a user may break down existing dimensions and segments within a report with nested dimensions and segments, which may be added without limits on a nesting level. Given a generated report, a user may pivot the generated report, where the pivot includes pivoting any heterogeneous combination of dimensions, segments, and metrics within the generated report defined along each axis. Further, the pivot operation maintains the relative groupings and nestings of dimensions, dimension items, segments, and metrics in going from a column to a row or from a row to a column.

  • Publication number: 20170284903
    Abstract: Machine health can be monitored using multiple sensors. For example, a computing device can determine a target sensor to monitor from among multiple sensors associated with the machine. The computing device can determine magnitude values for a particular component of a time series associated with the target sensor. The computing device can generate a dataset including the magnitude values for the particular component of the time series and the sensor measurements from the multiple sensors. The computing device can generate a model using the dataset. The computing device can then receive additional sensor-measurements from the multiple sensors and use the model to determine a predicted magnitude-value for the particular component of the time series based on the additional sensor-measurements. The computing device can use the predicted magnitude-value to identify an anomaly with the machine.

  • Patent number: 9652723
    Abstract: A computing device predicts a probability of a transformer failure. An analysis type indicator defined by a user is received. A worth value for each of a plurality of variables is computed. Highest worth variables from the plurality of variables are selected based on the computed worth values. A number of variables of the highest worth variables is limited to a predetermined number based on the received analysis type indicator. A first model and a second model are also selected based on the received analysis type indicator. Historical electrical system data is partitioned into a training dataset and a validation dataset that are used to train and validate, respectively, the first model and the second model. A probability of failure model is selected as the first model or the second model based on a comparison between a fit of each model.
