Abstract: Onboard EC window controllers are described. The controllers are configured in close proximity to the EC window, for example, within the IGU. The controller may be part of a window assembly, which includes an IGU having one or more EC panes, and thus does not have to be matched with the EC window, and installed, in the field. The window controllers described herein have a number of advantages because they are matched to the IGU containing one or more EC devices and their proximity to the EC panes of the window overcomes a number of problems associated with conventional controller configurations.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for dynamic optimization of environmental controls. A system according to some examples may determine a person's environmental preferences and generate a time-based environmental control model for that person. The system may also generate a location model defining current and predicted future locations for the person. The environmental model may take into account person's previous or current activity and be adjusted based on sensed data from interior and exterior environmental sensors and body sensors on the person. Models for multiple people may be combined based on priorities or personal characteristics. Models may also be stored in mobile devices such that settings can be implemented in future locations prior to arrival of the person. Implemented settings may be adjusted for additional people as they arrive at the location.

Abstract: A decorative component includes a plateable resin body portion that is light-transmissive. A thin intermediate layer of material is electrolessly deposited over the body portion. The intermediate layer is laser ablated to selectively remove the intermediate layer and expose the light transmissive portion. The part is then subjected to electroplating. The ablated areas do not receive the metal layers of the electroplating, thereby defining a pattern defined by the ablation. The laser ablation may define an outline, leaving the thin intermediate layer within the outline that is electrically isolated from areas outside of the outline. The electroplating process will not apply layers to the isolated areas, and the intermediate layer therein will dissolve, exposing the light transmissive body portion. An opposite side of the part is also exposed and transmissive, such that light will pass through the body portion and illuminate the pattern.

Abstract: Aspects described herein may use machine learning models to predict one or more remediation actions to mitigate reoccurrence of an incident that has become restored based upon previous incidents of an entity. Historical incident data is compiled into two incident datasets: one representative of incidents that were assigned a remediation action to mitigate reoccurrence of the incident, and a second representative of incidents that were not assigned a remediation action. A machine learning model matches relationships between data in the two datasets and outputs scores representative of similarities. Based on the scores, one or more remediation actions are mapped to an incident in the second dataset and the remediation action is performed for the incident.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining how to dispatch power to a property from a generator are provided. According to certain aspects, a controller associated with the generator may retrieve or access a set of data indicating time of use rates associated with utility power, performance characteristics of the generator, and/or energy usage data. Based on the data, the controller may determine a set point corresponding to when it may be beneficial to dispatch generator power to the property instead of utility power. At the set point, the controller may facilitate supplementing power from utility power with power from the generator. Additionally, the controller may collect usage and performance data associated with dispatch of the generator power.

Abstract: Disclosed are approaches for analyzing vibration data to determine and mitigate an occurrence of an anomaly with respect to an industrial machine. In one embodiment, time-series vibration data is received from a sensor measuring vibration of a machine. First outliers are detected in a short-term window of the time-series vibration data. Second outliers are detected in a long-term window of the time-series vibration data. The sensor is determined to be associated with an anomaly based at least in part on a quantity of the first outliers and a quantity of the second outliers.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for identifying transgenic seed that contain a transgene of interest, but lack a marker gene. Use of an identification sequence that results in a detectable phenotype increases the efficiency of screening for seed and plants in which transgene sequences not linked to a gene of interest have segregated from the sequence encoding a gene of interest.
