  • Patent number: 11915162
    Abstract: A method, computer program product and computer system to generate safety alerts is provided. A processor retrieves a plurality of measurements associated with a location. A processor determines a set of features based on the plurality of measurements. A processor identifies a set of membership functions for the set of features. A processor determines a safety index for the body of water based on the set of membership functions and one or more input value ranges for the set of features. In response to the safety index being above a threshold value, a processor sends an alert to one or more users regarding the location.

  • Patent number: 11614560
    Abstract: A method and system for outputting a state of a physical system using a calibrated model of the physical system, where the calibrated model is used to generate a model prediction. The system includes a plurality of sensors connected to a routing node are used to monitor measured data of the physical system. A first sensor of the plurality of sensors includes a logic module configured to determine an uncertainty quantification, and to combine the uncertainty quantification with the model prediction to output the state of the physical system.

  • Patent number: 11164266
    Abstract: The protection of water providing entities from loss due to environmental events is disclosed including receiving structured and unstructured data related to a water resource, generating time series for a plurality of index items, generating training data and testing data based on the time series for the plurality of index items, determining correlations between the time series of the index items using the generated training data, determining a classification boundary as a strike level based on the determined correlation, generating a protection strategy based on the strike level, applying the protection strategy to the testing data to generate a resulting data time series, and presenting the resulting data time series via a display of a computing device to at least one user of the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11131789
    Abstract: Embodiments for estimating ice formation and depth by a processor. Ice formation and ice depth of a selected region of water may be cognitively forecasted using a prediction model such that the prediction model identifies similar characteristics between the selected region of water and one or more alternative regions of water by analyzing content of one or more data sources associated with an ontology of concepts representing a domain knowledge related to the selected region of water and the one or more alternative regions.

  • Patent number: 11080141
    Abstract: A simulation model recovery method, system, and computer program product include initiating a simulation model, during an operation of a model, periodically writing a solution space of the model to a checkpoint restart file, during an operation of the model, periodically writing diagnostic information on model progression to a log file, detecting a failure of the model, based on the log of the model, determining a time of the failure, based on the model outputs and restart files, determining a period of a numerical instability preceding the failure, selecting a checkpoint of the model preceding the period of the numerical instability, based on the numerical instability and diagnostic information in log files, modifying a configuration of the model, and restarting the model based on the selected checkpoint and the modified configuration.

  • Patent number: 10839113
    Abstract: Embodiments for intelligent forecasting of material concentrations in a fluid by a processor in a computing environment. A material concentration of a material in a fluid may be predicted according to one or more continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) surrogate models on statistical flow trajectories of the fluid defined by a principle component analysis (PCA) operation of a system.

  • Publication number: 20190021653
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to computer-implemented methods, computer systems, and computer program products for monitoring the ergonomics of a user. A non-limiting example method includes capturing a reference image of the user using an image capture device. The method further includes determining a first height of an object of interest of the user using the reference image of the user. The method further includes capturing a subsequent image of the user using the image capture device. The method further includes determining a second height of the object of interest of the user using the subsequent image of the user. Based at least in part on determining that the second height is not within a first tolerance of the first height, causing the issuance of a warning that the user is not within an optimal distance from the image capture device.
