  • Systems and methods for equipment performance modeling
    Patent number: 11494531
    Abstract: An equipment performance modeling platform is disclosed. In certain embodiments, an adaptive sensing coordinator acquires sensor measurements, configures and processes the sensor measurements for a specific statistical model, and sends the measurements to a server. A server performs data processing, provides storage (e.g., local or in a database), and provides an interface for data extraction. Statistical models are used to interpreting sensor values for a type of equipment, and a labeling mechanism labels performance occurrences.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 14, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 8, 2022
    Assignee: SIGSENSE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
    Inventors: Nicholas J. McGranahan, Matthew T. Burtch, John Vinyard

  • Curing oven for printed substratees
    Patent number: 9651303
    Abstract: An oven and method for curing inks on various substrates and textiles, such as clothing or shirts, conveyed by an overhanging vertically oriented chain conveyor. Clips are attached to the chain conveyor for holding the printed textile in a vertical oven mount, as they pass by the radiant heating elements structured in the curing oven during usage.
