  • Patent number: 12245096
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for managing mobile assets at a worksite. A system computer creates a geofence relating to the geolocation of a first communication device disposed in a first mobile asset, the data points of the geofence periodically updated according to the geolocation of the first communication device such that changes in the geolocation of the first communication device are proportionally reflected in the updated geolocation of the datapoints of the geofence. The cycle time of a second communication device disposed in a second mobile asset can be determined by determining the amount of time lapsed after the second communication device triggers the geofence. Various triggering events are described. Various shapes of the geofence are described to avoid unintended triggers of the geofence by assets, including polygonal shapes.

  • Publication number: 20250012761
    Abstract: A method of analyzing a composite structure for damage tolerance. The method includes obtaining a structural configuration and determining at least one metric of interest for the structural configuration. A dent depth meta-model is developed based on the structural configuration, the at least one metric of interest, and information obtained from a machine learning algorithm. The at least one metric of interest provides a constraint for the dent depth meta-model and the machine learning algorithm is trained based on a historical physical test dataset of a plurality of composite components. The dent depth meta-model is utilized to estimate an impact energy to establish a threshold dent depth in the structural configuration. A computer-based simulation is performed with the structural configuration utilizing the impact energy from the dent depth meta-model. At least one design value is determined for the structural configuration based on output data generated from the computer-based simulation.

  • Publication number: 20200300498
    Abstract: A countercurrent heat recovery ventilation system includes an air module assembly and heat exchanger assembly. Air module assembly made from front and back panels connected by two side panels, base plate fixed with the side panels and placed parallel between side panels and a double side radial impeller with a shaft, an electric drive form two hydraulically isolated flow canals with inlet and outlet openings. The heat exchanger assembly comprises a heat-exchanger that could be done as changeable flow side heat-exchanger made as folded corrugated fins or plates, thus each of the both flow passages split in separate flow channels. Every other channel is sealed to flow from flow same direction forcing the flow to be in opposite direction in all adjacent cannels. This forms two hydraulically isolated flow passages with intake and outtake openings connected respectively with outlet and inlet openings of the air blower assembly.

  • Patent number: 10089362
    Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to techniques for investigating event streams in complex event processing (CEP) environments. Input events from one or more input event streams and query registration-related events from a registration event stream are received. Query registration-related events are associated with actions taken with respect to queries performed on the input event stream(s). Event-based profiles are developed by subjecting the received input events to a profiling CEP engine. Event-based profiles include data mining related and/or statistical characteristics for each input event stream. Query-based profiles are developed by subjecting the received query registration-related events to the CEP engine. Query-based profiles include data indicative of how relevant the queries performed on the input event stream(s) are and/or how those queries are relevant to the input event stream(s) on which they are performed.

  • Publication number: 20170261228
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a heating block (100) for a continuous flow heater in which a water flow system with channels is arranged in the heating block (100). A heating path (300) of the water flow system forms a hottest channel (340) with a hottest heating element (341) during operation of the continuous flow heater. The hottest channel (340) is arranged downstream of at least one channel (310, 320, 330) of the heating path (300) in a flow direction (110). The hottest channel (340) of the heating path (300) is surrounded by at least four channels which are located between an outer surface (120) of the heating block (100) and the hottest channel (340). Accordingly, the hottest channel (340) of the continuous flow heater is surrounded by at least four channels and is shielded relative to an air space (160).
