  • Patent number: 11912545
    Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.

  • Publication number: 20240062015
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems that use natural language processing (NLP) to read data from a file and analyze the data based on user defined parameters. According to an illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure, a system can process and analyze a data file by finding trending themes across data entries. According to a further illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure, the system can search for reoccurring or repeated words/phrases based on Ngrams (i.e., n-grams). The system can be adapted to search for Ngrams of varying length depending on the information sought and can sort the results by Ngram length.

  • Publication number: 20240056385
    Abstract: A switch architecture for a data-driven intelligent networking system is provided. The system can accommodate dynamic traffic with fast, effective congestion control. The system can maintain state information of individual packet flows, which can be set up or released dynamically based on injected data. Each flow can be provided with a flow-specific input queue upon arriving at a switch. Packets of a respective flow are acknowledged after reaching the egress point of the network, and the acknowledgement packets are sent back to the ingress point of the flow along the same data path. As a result, each switch can obtain state information of each flow and perform flow control on a per-flow basis.

  • Patent number: 11853058
    Abstract: A system may include one or more sensors configured to acquire data associated with a driver of a vehicle and a processor. The processor may receive the data and determine whether the data is within a baseline data associated with expected behavior of the driver. The processor may then control one or more operations of the vehicle in response to the data being outside the baseline data.

  • Patent number: 11846979
    Abstract: Anomalies in a target object can be detected and diagnosed using improved Mahalanobis-Taguchi system (MTS) techniques. For example, an anomaly detection and diagnosis (ADD) system can receive a set of measurements associated with attributes of a target object. A Mahalanobis distance (MD) can be determined using a generalized inverse matrix. An abnormal condition can be detected when the MD is greater than a predetermined threshold value. The ADD system can determine an importance score for each measurement of a corresponding attribute. The attribute whose measurement has the highest importance score can be determined to be responsible for the abnormal condition.

  • Patent number: 11624847
    Abstract: A method for deployment of a geophysical sensor includes moving a ram having a ground penetrating bit at a movable end thereof to a selected geodetic position. The ram and the ground penetrating bit are extended to create a hole in a ground surface while measuring extension of the ram. The ram is retracted, and if the measured extension of the ram indicates successful creation of the hole, then the geophysical sensor is moved to a position beneath the ram and the ram is extended to urge the geophysical sensor into the hole.
