  • Patent number: 11875284
    Abstract: An asset identification and tracking system includes one or more monitoring units configured to monitor at least one designated area. Each of the monitoring units includes an imaging device and one or more processors. The imaging device is configured to generate image data depicting one or more mobile assets that move through the at least one designated area. The one or more processors are operably coupled to the imaging device and configured to analyze the image data to detect and decipher one or more identifiers that are displayed on a particular mobile asset of the one or more mobile assets that move through the at least one designated area. The one or more processors are further configured to generate a detection message that includes the one or more identifiers for communication to an asset control system.

  • Patent number: 11727125
    Abstract: Briefly, embodiments are directed to a system, method, and article for acquiring a symbol comprising a representation of input data. The symbol may be converted into an emergent language expression in an emergent language via processing of a first neural network. Transmission of the emergent language expression may be initiated over a communications network, where the emergent language comprises a language based on and specific to the input data. The emergent language expression may be translated back into the representation of the input data via processing of a second neural network.

  • Patent number: 11497418
    Abstract: A neuroactivity monitoring system includes a camera configured to acquire image data of a patient positioned on the patient support and a monitoring device in communication with the camera. The monitoring device uses the acquired image data of the camera to identify and track patient landmarks, such as facial and/or posture landmarks, and, based on the tracked movement, characterize patient neuroactivity.

  • Publication number: 20220292666
    Abstract: A system and method including receiving historical time series sensor data associated with operation of an industrial asset; generating visual representation images of scatter plots based on the historical time series sensor data based on a reference to a digitized knowledge domain associated with the industrial asset; assigning a root cause label to each image; generating a convolutional neural network (CNN) model trained and tested using subsets of the labeled images; and processing, by the CNN model, a real-time image to detect at least one anomaly in the real-time image and one or more root causes associated with the at least one anomaly.

  • Patent number: 11378063
    Abstract: A method of correcting turbine underperformance includes calculating a power production curve using monitored data, detecting changes between the monitored data and a baseline power production curve, generating operability curves for paired operational variables from the monitored data, detecting changes between the operability curves and corresponding baseline operability curves, comparing the changes to a respective predetermined metric, and if the change exceeds the metric, providing feedback to a turbine control system identifying at least one of the paired operational variables for each paired variable in excess of the metric. A system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220099532
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for operating a power generating asset. Accordingly, a plurality of operational data sets are received by a controller. The operational data sets include at least one indication of a performance anomaly. A plurality of predictive models are implemented by the controller to determine a plurality of potential root causes of the performance anomaly and a plurality of corresponding probabilities for each of the potential root causes. A consolidation model is generated for classifying the plurality of potential root causes and corresponding probabilities. The consolidation model is trained via a training data set to correlate the plurality of potential root causes to an actual root cause for the performance anomaly. The consolidation model is implemented by the controller to determine the actual root cause of the performance anomaly based on the plurality of potential root causes and corresponding probabilities.
