  • Patent number: 10583927
    Abstract: A system may include an air treatment assembly configured to deliver treated air to an enclosed space within a vehicle, at least one upstream sensor upstream from the air treatment assembly, and at least one downstream sensor downstream from the air treatment assembly. The upstream sensor(s) and the downstream sensor(s) are configured to detect at least one attribute of air, such as air pressure. An air treatment monitoring system is in communication with the sensors. The air treatment monitoring system receives one or more sensor signals from the sensors, and calculates an attribute differential (such as a pressure differential) based on the one or more signals.

  • Patent number: 10528654
    Abstract: Examples related to facilitating analysis of an electrical power system are disclosed. One disclosed example provides a device comprising a display, a processor, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to receive a request to operate in first and second input/output modes. In the first mode, the instructions are executable to display a graphical representation of an electrical power system illustrating components and connectivities in a schematic view, and receive a user input specifying a selected component of a plurality of candidate components and also an associated connectivity. The instructions are executable to display the selected component in the graphical representation of the electrical power system and store the selected component and associated connectivity in a data structure. In the second mode, the instructions are executable to display a text-based representation of the distribution system organizing the components and connectivities in a tabular view.
