  • Patent number: 11841758
    Abstract: A system comprising a processor configured to obtain a feature set for a component and generate random trees based on the feature set and a training data set, wherein each of the random trees can include at least one predictive value representing a probability of a feature of the random trees indicating a failure of the component within a period of time. The processor can also select a subset of the random trees based on the at least one predictive value, determine a likelihood of the failure of the component based on operational data for one or more devices and the subset of the random trees, and transmit an explanation to a remote device for the likelihood of failure of the component by indicating the feature selected from the subset of the random trees.

  • Publication number: 20210081741
    Abstract: An identification badge system has an image relaying device for communicating an electronic image, a base station for communicating with the image relaying device, a readiness indicator, and a reusable badge. The base station has at least one docking receptacle for docking the badge. The badge has a housing and an e-paper display. The housing docks for communicating the electronic image from the base station to the e-paper display and/or for charging. The e-paper display maintains the electronic image when the badge is removed from the receptacle. The base station erases the electronic image from the e-paper display when the badge is re-docked. The badge has an RFID tag for communication with standard access control readers, writers and controllers and has a Wi-Fi transponder and associated circuitry for tracking visitor locations by sending a RF signal to Wi-Fi routers or Bluetooth beacons. Visitor location can also be ascertained using GPS.

  • Patent number: 10396897
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for monitoring optical transceiver devices. In one embodiment, a method comprises predicting degradation of an optical transceiver device based on values of an operating parameter of the optical transceiver device obtained over time, and generating a notification of the degradation of the optical transceiver device. In this way, an optical transceiver device that is susceptible to degradation may be pre-emptively identified and replaced, thereby preventing failures of a communication system including the optical transceiver device.

  • Patent number: 10186064
    Abstract: A system and method for a system and method for implementing an image collage editing software tool implemented in a networked computing environment. Collage is a feature area within an online image editing service that allows users to create a composite image from multiple images. This composite image, generally known as a ‘collage’, can be created with a variety of predefined designs/patterns, as well as user specified number of columns and/or user specified number of rows. Users are allowed a wide array of flexibility on the design of their collage, as a result of the unique user-interface design of the collage feature. The collage area is an in-browser, web-based solution for creating any composite image from multiple images.

  • Patent number: 10152668
    Abstract: An identification badge system having an image relaying device for communicating an electronic image, a base station for communicating with the image relaying device, a readiness indicator, and a reusable badge. The badge has a housing, a colored e-paper display, a radio frequency identification tag, and a Wi-Fi transponder and related circuitry that sends radio frequency signals to Wi-Fi routers or Bluetooth beacons in the facility using the system for real-time location tracking of the badge using GPS. Backscatter can be used to encode information on the Wi-Fi signals with little or no battery energy. Tracking information can be stored apart from the badge. The base station has at least one docking receptacle for docking the badge for charging only or also for communication of the electronic image to the badge e-paper display and for erasing the image from the display.

  • Patent number: 8515696
    Abstract: A system for acquiring and analyzing fault conditions for at least one coil of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. Each of the at least one coils is electrically connected through a transmit/receive (T/R) bias circuit to an interface. The system has a central processing unit with a processor configured to execute programmable instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to conduct circuit tests at predetermined intervals for the at least one coil, acquire data for the at least one coil to construct a data log with a plurality of input events, and algorithmically filter and analyze the plurality of input events to create an output configured to predict a failure event of the at least one coil. A method for analyzing and acquiring fault conditions is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8186119
    Abstract: An improved wall structure for HVAC enclosures utilizing thermoplastic standoffs to form an air space and to separate the exterior wall structure of the enclosure from the interior wall structure. The position of the thermoplastic standoffs and the selection of the design for the standoffs insure that metallic fasteners would secure the exterior walls of the enclosure to the enclosure do not transmit thermal energy from the external wall to the internal wall.
