  • Patent number: 12135543
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support automated failure mode detection for rotating machinery based on vibration analysis. To illustrate, a computing device may receive vibration data from one or more sensors configured to measure vibrations of a rotating machine, such as an engine. The computing device may generate a frequency spectrum based on the vibration data (or receive the frequency spectrum) and compare the frequency spectrum to one or more predetermined frequency models to determine one or more similarity metrics. The one or more predetermined frequency models may each be associated with a respective failure mode of the rotating machine. The computing device may identify a failure mode associated with a predetermined frequency model that corresponds to a similarity metric that satisfies a threshold, and the computing device may output an indication of the identified failure mode.

  • Patent number: 8813627
    Abstract: A method and system to detect an improvised explosive device is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the method includes dispersing a mixture containing a fluorescent material uniformly over a ground cover, illuminating the ground cover with wavelengths of visible light or ultraviolet (UV) light causing the fluorescent material to fluoresce in a visible light spectrum, and detecting where the mixture has been disturbed on the ground cover by visually observing inconsistencies in the fluorescent material on the ground cover that is fluorescing to indicate a location of the improvised explosive device. The method also includes that the mixture is adapted to cling to a person, clothes, or any combination thereof, upon contact.

  • Patent number: 7207014
    Abstract: In a computer system having a device and a communications link for communicating with the device. A method for dynamically managing power consumption by the computer system comprises associating a particular device identifier with the device. Communications are monitored over the communications link to determine whether the communications include the particular device identifier. A clock input is withheld from the device when the communications do not include the particular device identifier. Clock input is provided to the device only when the communications include the particular device identifier. The clock input causes the device to transition from a non-operational power conservative state to an operational state wherein the device consumes more power than in the non-operational state. A performance requirement is established for a task to be executed. Clock frequency is dynamically controlled according to the performance requirement established for the task being executed.

  • Publication number: 20050046573
    Abstract: A method for selectively removing metal from a metallized substrate (e.g., a metallized polymer film) and the formation of devices thereby are provided. Th method involves selectively exposing the metallized surface to a demetallizing (i.e., an oxidizing) chemical solution. The metallized layer can be selectively exposed to the demetallizing solution using a flexographic printing process wherein printing rollers are used to transfer the demetallizing solution to the metallized surface. An identification device including, for example, a holographic, retro-reflective, or other metallized material and a radio-frequency transponder are also provided. The radio-frequency transponder includes an RF chip and an antenna in electrical communication with the chip. The identification device including the holographic image allows both electronic identification through the reading or identification data stored in the chip and optical identification via the holographic image.

  • Patent number: 5987614
    Abstract: Structure and method are provided for reducing power consumption in a computer system without sacrificing computer performance or inhibiting a computer user's rapid access to the computer. An identifier, such as a device address, network address, serial number, and the like, is associated with each device or resource. Communications over a communications link such as a parallel bus, serial bus, or wireless link, are monitored by each device to determine device identifiers communicated over the link, and these identifiers are compared to the identifier associated with the monitoring device. Each device monitors the communications and is responsible for self-controlling its operating condition to minimize power consumption. Each device includes a first component which operates continuously to provide the monitoring function, and a second component that operates in a low power consumption mode unless the first component signals the second component that its operation is needed during that time period.
