  • Patent number: 11816590
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for predicting abnormal operation of at least one component of a machine is provided. Real time monitoring data from an operating machine is received and monitoring features that are informative of likely abnormal operation are extracted and/or calculated. The monitoring features are applied to a prediction matrix that outputs probabilities of abnormal operation within one or more prediction time horizons. If the output probabilities exceed a threshold probability, then an alert can be output. Maintenance can be automatically scheduled in response to the alert.

  • Patent number: 9663223
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are described herein for assessing aircraft braking performance and runway friction conditions. Aircraft data corresponding to characteristics of an aircraft during a landing event is received and used with a braking performance model to determine an indicator of braking performance. Estimated and brake metered pressures are compared to determine whether a friction-limited condition exists. The data then can be used to make an assessment of the runway friction characteristics and the associated braking capabilities of the runway.

  • Patent number: 9359087
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a computing device, vehicle condition data from a vehicle monitoring system of a vehicle. The method also includes analyzing the vehicle condition data based on a trigger table, and based on a determination that the vehicle condition data satisfies a particular trigger condition specified in the trigger table, adding an entry in an alert evaluation queue.

  • Patent number: 8730064
    Abstract: Systems and methods for aircraft cabin noise analysis are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computer based system to monitor vehicle conditions comprises a trigger table stored in a tangible computer readable memory which stores at least one set of logic conditions which may trigger directive to analyze if alert conditions exist. The system further comprises a trigger processor to receive one or more data streams comprising vehicle condition data for a monitored vehicle and transmit the directive to analyze alert logic to an alert evaluation queue when the vehicle condition data satisfies the at least one set of logic conditions in the trigger table, and an alert evaluation processor to execute a stand-alone program to analyze vehicle data and generate an alert when the vehicle condition data satisfies the at least one set of alert conditions. In some embodiments, the system may be implemented in a computing system or as logic instructions recorded on a computer readable medium.

  • Patent number: 4286357
    Abstract: An assembly is illustrated for use in connection with the main cylinder and the like of a carding machine wherein an annular shroud has a segmental portion of reduced thickness for providing a ledge type bearing surface for support and securement directly to the card frame, the shroud also having a bearing receiving recess so that the cylinder mounting shaft may be supported within the shroud. The bearing has a pair of parallel inserts, spaced on each side of the shaft, having thickened inner portions for engaging the inner race of the bearing for removing the bearing while the cylinder is carried within the card frame. The shroud provides an arcuate mounting surface for positioning stationary card flats facilitating the provision of means for resiliently carrying the flats yieldably urging them downwardly while permitting adjustment of the settings.

  • Patent number: 4198731
    Abstract: A carding machine cleaning apparatus is illustrated wherein an elongated plenum, open at both ends, is positionable between a closure member on one side of a carding machine and a suction housing having an opening therein on the other side in such a manner that the suction is automatically disconnected by moving the plenum out of alignment with the closure and suction housing opening and re-established by returning the plenum to position between the closure and the suction housing. The cleaning apparatus is especially useful when aligned above a number of transverse carding rolls of a carding apparatus so that each respective housing is removable for inspection of a portion of the carding apparatus.
