  • Publication number: 20220341393
    Abstract: A method for controlling a wind turbine includes detecting, via a controller, a plurality of analytic outputs of the wind turbine from a plurality of different analytics. The method also includes analyzing, via the controller, the plurality of analytic outputs of the wind turbine. Further, the method includes generating, via the controller, at least one computer-based model of the wind turbine using at least a portion of the analyzed plurality of analytic outputs. Moreover, the method includes training, via the controller, the at least one computer-based model of the wind turbine using annotated analytic outputs of the wind turbine. As such, the method includes checking the plurality of analytic outputs for anomalies using the at least one computer-based model. Accordingly, the method includes implementing a control action when at least one anomaly is detected.

  • Patent number: 8891731
    Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein relates to patient imaging systems, and more specifically, to portable X-ray imaging systems. In a first embodiment, a patient imaging system is presented. The patient imaging system includes an X-ray source configured to emit X-rays and a wireless X-ray detector configured to detect the emitted X-rays and acquire patient image data. The patient imaging system also includes an acquisition control system configured to initialize and prepare the patient imaging system for X-ray emission and detection. The acquisition control system is also configured to receive the acquired patient image data from the X-ray detector, and to non-deterministically control the operation of the X-ray source and the wireless X-ray detector.

  • Publication number: 20140324908
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of both semantic analysis and statistical text mining to process data records, improving the completeness and accuracy of records so processed. By way of example, a data record may be iteratively processed by text mining using seeds derived from a semantic template and by validating the results based on semantic reasoning based on the semantic template.
