  • Patent number: 12242937
    Abstract: A method including training, by one or more processors, a generative AI model using a plurality of first service requests handled by technicians for servicing building equipment. The generative AI model may be trained to predict root causes of a plurality of first problems corresponding to the plurality of first service requests. The method may include receiving, by the one or more processors, a second service request for servicing building equipment. The method may include predicting, by the one or more processors using the generative AI model, a root cause of a second problem corresponding to the second service request based on characteristics of the second service request and one or more patterns or trends identified from the plurality of first service requests using the generative AI model.

  • Publication number: 20030036303
    Abstract: A twin-Thermoelectric cooler design including two independent thermoelectric coolers sharing the same base (hot side ceramic plate). People familiar with the art understand that the number of independent TEC sharing the same base is not limited to two. Depending on application needs any number of TECs can be constructed on the same base and be controlled independently.
