Abstract: A system includes an acoustic monitoring, analysis, and diagnostic system having a processor. The processor is configured to receive NF noise signals from a near field (NF) microphone array, the NF microphone array measures noises from a power generation system in a NF. The processor is configured to receive FF noise signals from a far field (FF) microphone array, the FF microphone array measures noises from a power generation system in a FF. The processor is configured to derive NF and FF noise measurements based on the signals and to synchronize the NF and FF noise measurements to create synchronized NF and FF noise data. The processor is configured to analyze the synchronized NF and FF noise data to create a NF and an FF noise signature. The processor is configured to diagnose root causes of noises generated from the power generation system and to report the root causes.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods an artificial intelligence method of reducing failure in an informational flow of a data stream controlled by an Extract Transform Load process using a machine learning (“ML”) model training system are provided. The method may include deploying a software sensor that periodically captures data points for an extract job executed during an extract phase of the process. The method may also include building a behavior profile concurrently with the receipt of each of the data points. The method may further include comparing the behavior profile to behavior profiles stored in an Adverse Behavior Model database and behavior profiles stored in a Normal Behavior Model database. When the behavior profile is determined to have a threshold number of match points matching the behavior profile to behavior profiles in the Adverse Behavior Model database, the method may include increasing a target database storage capacity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating and executing a user request with increased security and efficiency are provided. A method may include receiving a selection from a user to restrict informational access of a selected administrator who is logged in to a system network, and locking access of the administrator to secure user information. The method may also include receiving, from the user, limited identifying information, and transmitting to the user, based on the limited identifying information, a uniform resource locator (URL) link and a one-time password (OTP). The method may also include achieving 2-factor authentication when the user accesses the URL link and submits the OTP, and receiving from the user the secure user information and a service request. In response to receiving the secure user information and the service request, the method may include executing a response to the service request via the system network.

Abstract: A system and a method for injecting hydrogen into Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) reactor support systems in operation during reactor startup and/or shutdown to mitigate Inter-Granular Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGSCC). The system may provide hydrogen at variable pressures (including relatively higher pressures) that match changing operating pressures of the reactor supports systems as the reactor cycles through startup and shutdown modes.

Abstract: A zinc-nickel substrate is applied to a component by using a zinc-nickel wire formed with between about 8 to 20 percent nickel and between about 80 to 90 percent zinc. This formed zinc-nickel wire is held in a two wire electric arc spray system to spray the zinc-nickel substrate on the component, such as an aircraft part, while operating the two wire electric arc spray system within a specific range of operating parameters.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing a corrosion-resistant article, where the article is conductive and subject to hydrogen uptake during electroplating of a coating. The method comprises electroplating a zinc-nickel coating on the article in an aqueous, basic plating solution containing zinc and nickel ions. The method uses an electrolyte in the form of a soluble hydroxide salt with the weight ratio of zinc ions to nickel ions in the solution being sufficient to provide the coating comprising from about 85% to about 95% by weight zinc, and about 5% to about 15% by weight nickel. The plating solution is substantially free of brightening agents which retard hydrogen bake-out.

Abstract: A cobalt-phosphorous-boron coating and a process for plating that is environmentally acceptable are provided. Furthermore, a cobalt-phosphorous plating solution is provided to deposit the cobalt-phosphorous-boron coating during the plating process on a surface of an article of manufacture. The cobalt-phosphorous plating solution does not contain chemicals presently restricted in use by the EPA. The cobalt-phosphorous-boron coating is a wear resistant coating with engineering properties, for example, low compressive residual stress, excellent adhesion to ferrous and nickel alloys, low fatigue debit, and a corrosion resistant crack-free structure, that meet or exceed the engineering properties of hard chromium plating intended for use in the aerospace industry.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining failure of a test component.
