  • Publication number: 20240005287
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide for determination and/or notifying of when an asset requires maintenance. Such embodiments enable outputting notifications in circumstances where tracked data for operations of an asset indicate or are predicted to violate particular thresholds. Some embodiments receive a feedback data set for an asset, identify a command data set for the asset, determine a delay value based at least in part on the feedback data set and the command data set, determine a command-feedback difference value based at least in part on the feedback data set and the command data set, and output a degradation indicator based at least in part on the delay value and the command-feedback difference value.

  • Patent number: 10401039
    Abstract: A hydronic heating system that may depend on pressure in the system for smooth operation. The pressure may be monitored. Pressure in the system may indicate health of the heating system. Certain pressures or variations of pressures may indicate one or more conditions in the system which may be good or adverse. An example of an adverse condition may be leakage of fluid from the system. Analyzes of pressures detected in the heating system may be performed by a computer programmed to indicate conditions of the system that are reflected by the detected pressures.

  • Patent number: 10317102
    Abstract: A system and approach using geofencing events for controlling temperature in a building for comfort of a user upon his or her arrival to the building. A decision may be made when to use a direct trigger by an incoming geofencing event and when to use a time of arrival prediction casted by an outgoing geofencing event. One or more geofences may be placed optimally based on the trigger decision and other aspects related to commuting patterns of the user.
