  • Publication number: 20260309146
    Abstract: A pump health monitoring system has a flow sensor configured to measure a flow rate of a pump and a pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure of the pump. The system has a first programmable processor configured to receive the flow rate from the flow sensor and the pressure from the pressure sensor as operating details of the pump, determine an identity of the pump from identifying details of the pump, retrieve a set of processing rules that are specific to the identity of the pump, process the operating details with the set of processing rules to compute an operational parameter derived from the flow rate and the pressure, compare the operational parameter to a baseline operational parameter that is specific to the identity of the pump, and initiate a corrective action when the operational parameter is outside the baseline operational parameter.

  • Publication number: 20070146202
    Abstract: This invention relates to reducing the complexity and cost of antenna arrays and is more specifically concerned with reducing the complexity of an antenna apparatus (10). It provides an antenna array (62) made up of a vertical stack of horizontal linear structures (74) each having several groups of neighbouring array antenna elements (78), the groups (74) having variable numbers of the antenna elements (78) each connected to a transmit/receive module (66). The advantage of this configuration is that less communication modules (66), such as transmit/receive modules, are required to operate the antenna array (62), reducing the weight, power consumption and cost of an antenna apparatus (10) incorporating such an antenna array (62) without significantly limiting the capability and/or performance of a system compared to a conventional solution.
