  • Patent number: 12422283
    Abstract: A method for time alignment of sensor having a plurality of sensors for use in sensor data integration. A reference signal, with timestamp, is provided to each sensor. Output signals in response to the reference signal are identified and used to determine a time delay for response for the sensors. These time delays are stored applying time corrections to sensor data during sensor data integration used in event detection. An associated method of detecting events from sensor data from a plurality of sensors is disclosed. A threshold is determined for each of the sensors, such that a signal exceeding the threshold is identified as a potential sensor event. Potential sensor events from each sensor are detected and when potential events from at least two sensors fall within a predetermined time window this is identified to be a likely actual event.

  • Patent number: 12320864
    Abstract: A monitoring device is disclosed that is configured to monitor conditions within an electrical enclosure containing electrical equipment. The monitoring device comprises a support configured to couple to an interior surface of the electrical enclosure. The support is configured to hold and electrically couple a plurality of sensors, at least two RF antennas, at least one processor in communication with the plurality of sensors and the at least two RF antennas, and a power connection configured to receive electrical and Ethernet input. The at least one processor is configured to receive and analyze data obtained from the plurality of sensors and the at least two RF antennas pertaining to a plurality of conditions inside the electrical enclosure. The at least one processor is configured to detect a potential electrical equipment failure based on the received an analyzed data.
