  • Publication number: 20260148658
    Abstract: Embodiments can relate to techniques for comparing and evaluating data from disparate data sources and/or data streams. The technique can involve receiving data from at least two disparate data sources and/or data streams (the data including object movement information). The technique can involve abstracting data and generating data sets representative of an attribute of an object, generating normalized data sets, aggregating normalized data sets based at least in part on time windows spanning between attributes of abstracted data, which can be stored. The method can involve retrieving data from the aggregated data sets and comparing the retrieved data to benchmark data representative of at least one or more of a standard, a pattern, or a statistic of an attribute of at least one or more objects. An output representative of the comparison can be generated.

  • Patent number: 12331488
    Abstract: A computer processor implemented method and system for monitoring a condition associated with operating heavy equipment is disclosed. The method involves receiving a plurality of images at an interface of an embedded processor disposed on the heavy equipment, the images providing a view of at least an operating implement of the heavy equipment. The method also involves processing each of the plurality of images using a first neural network implemented on the embedded processor, the first neural network having been previously trained to identify regions of interest within the image. Each region of interest has an associated designation as at least one of a critical region suitable for extraction of critical operating condition information required for operation of the heavy equipment, and a non-critical region suitable for extraction of non-critical operating condition information associated with the operation of the heavy equipment.

  • Patent number: 11378289
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided and arranged with an air control system to alternately direct a first and a second airflow to a first and a second energy-absorbing body in order to achieve a heat and moisture transfer between the two airflows. The energy exchange bodies alternate between recovery and release modes such that when one energy exchange body is in the release mode the other is in the recovery mode. Each of the first and second energy absorbing bodies is divided into a first latent energy recovery portion which includes a moisture absorbent material so that it is arranged to absorb latent energy and a second sensible energy recovery portion which is substantially free from moisture absorbent material so as to absorb primarily sensible energy.
