  • Publication number: 20240055864
    Abstract: In the field of high voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission networks there is a need for an improved sensor failure detector. A sensor failure detector, for use in HVDC power transmission networks, includes an intelligent electronic device. The intelligent electronic device has a first input to receive in-use a number of first sample values from a first sensor measuring a given operational characteristic, and a second input to receive in-use a number of second sample values from a second sensor measuring the same given operational characteristic. The intelligent electronic device also includes a comparator module that is programmed to compare the first and second sample values with one another, and to establish a sensor failure when the first and second sample values differ from one another by more than a primary threshold for a predetermined first number of samples.

  • Patent number: 11892411
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for determining quantitative hormone and chemical analyte results from qualitative test results. An image is taken of an ovulation test device. The image is analyzed to identify a darkness intensity ratio (T/C ratio) between a darkness value of a test-line to a darkness value of a control-line. Additionally, a quantitative substance level may be determined using the T/C ratio, by identifying the type of test device and referencing a data structure that relates quantitative substance levels to T/C ratios for the identified type of test device.
