Patent number: 10424444Abstract: A failure prediction assembly is structured to monitor circuit breaker assembly sub-assemblies and their component's characteristics. The failure prediction assembly includes a sensor supported D-shaft and a sensor assembly including a housing and a number of sensors. The sensor assembly housing defines a D-shaft passage. A control unit is in electronic communication with the sensor assembly. The sensor assembly housing is coupled to the circuit breaker sidewalls with the sensor assembly housing D-shaft passage aligned with the circuit breaker sidewall D-shaft passages. The sensor supported D-shaft is rotatably coupled to the sensor assembly with the sensor supported D-shaft disposed through said sensor assembly housing D-shaft passage.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: He Yang, Chao Xin, Jiong Chen, Mark Mao, Li Yu

Patent number: 10012697Abstract: A component monitoring system structured to monitor circuit breaker assembly component characteristics is provided. The component monitoring system includes a record assembly, a number of impulse sensor assemblies, a comparison assembly, and an output assembly. The record assembly includes selected nominal data for a selected circuit breaker component. The impulse sensor assemblies are structured to measure a number of actual component characteristics for a substantial portion of the circuit breaker assembly and to transmit actual component characteristic output data. The comparison assembly is structured to receive an electronic signal from the record assembly and the impulse sensor assemblies, to compare each impulse sensor assembly actual component characteristic output data to the selected nominal data and to provide an indication signal as to whether the impulse sensor assembly output data is acceptable when compared to the selected nominal data.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2015Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: He Yang, Jiong Chen, Mark Mao, Wenjie Hou, Li Yu

Publication number: 20180137201Abstract: An improved approach for returning aesthetically relevant search results is disclosed. A training set of images (e.g., designer-created images) is used to train a detection engine that detects items in the images as features. A classification engine is configured to analyze the features and generate classification indices for the features. A user can select an item, and the classification index for the feature corresponding to the item is retrieved. The classification index is used to identify result images, which can be returned ranked according user action data and other parameters, such as style.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2016Publication date: May 17, 2018Inventors: Chen Longbin, Le Kang, Lei Yao, Mark Mao

Publication number: 20150006526Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for determining locations of interest to a user. User activity over a period of time is obtained and used to determine geographic entities (e.g., locations) of interest. The user activity is aggregated by geographic entity and a relevancy score is calculated for each geographic entity. The geographic entity having the highest score is stored as a location of interest in a location profile for the user. Multiple geographic entities having the highest specified number of relevancy scores may also be stored.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2013Publication date: January 1, 2015Inventors: Krzysztof Duleba, Mark Mao, Finnegan Southey, Chengling Chan, Lukasz Andrzej Heldt, Jason Luther Smart
