  • Publication number: 20180342450
    Abstract: Articles and semiconductor packages that incorporate glass-based substrates are disclosed, as well as methods of forming thereof An article includes a glass-based substrate comprising first and second major surfaces spaced a distance from and parallel to each other, and a tapered via extending through the substrate. The tapered via includes a cross section that is symmetrical about a plane that is between and equidistant to the first and second major surfaces of the glass-based substrate and an interior wall with a first tapered region and a second tapered region positioned between the first major surface and the plane. The respective slopes of the first and second tapered regions are constant and the slope of the first tapered region is not equal to the slope of the second tapered region.

  • Publication number: 20180231394
    Abstract: A method and system for recognizing (and/or predicting) failures of sensors used in monitoring gas turbines applies a sparse coding process to collected sensor readings and defines the L-1 norm residuals from the sparse coding process as indicative of a potential sensor problem. Further evaluation of the group of residual sensor readings is perform to categorize the group and determine if there are significant outliers (“abnormal data”), which would be considered as more likely associated with a faulty sensor than noisy data. A time component is introduced into the evaluation that compares a current abnormal result with a set of prior results and making the faulty sensor determination if a significant number of prior readings also have an abnormal value. By taking the time component into consideration, the number of false positives is reduced.

  • Patent number: 10019564
    Abstract: Pairing data associated with a second device may be received at a first device. The pairing data may be received from a server. A first authentication proof may be generated based on the pairing data received from the server. A second authentication proof may be received from the second device. Furthermore, an authentication status of the second device may be updated based on a comparison of the first authentication proof that is based on the pairing data received from the server and the second authentication proof that is received from the second device.

  • Publication number: 20180080853
    Abstract: A system for predicting time-to-failure of a machine includes one or more processors and a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium in operable communication with the processors. The computer-readable storage medium contains one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processors to receive or retrieve multivariate time series data observed a plurality of times, and infer a plurality of state variables from the multivariate time series data, each state variable describing an operating condition of the machine at a particular time. The instructions further cause the processor to compute an average life consumption rate by applying a life consumption rate model to the plurality of state variables and time-to-failure for the machine based on the average life consumption rate. The time-to-failure for the machine may then be reported to one or more users.

  • Publication number: 20170308801
    Abstract: A system and method for predicting failures of machinery such as a gas turbine. The system and method utilizes computer-based system to annotate historical data locate a prior failure event. Data associated with sensor readings prior to the failure event is annotated to note that it is likely associated with a failure and is compared to normal operating condition data. A fast boxes algorithm is used to learn the location of the pre-event data (positive class, minority group) with respect to the normal operation data (negative class, majority group). An evaluation is performed to analyze the discriminatory strength of the pre-event data with respect to the normal data, and if a relatively strong difference is found, the associated pre-event data is stored and used as a “symptom” to monitor the on-going performance of a machine and predict the possibility of an unexpected failure days before it would otherwise occur.

  • Patent number: 9664072
    Abstract: A valve train of an internal combustion engine with a switchable hydraulic lash adjuster (SHLA) is provided, including a cylinder head having a boss, with an opening defined in the boss. The SHLA is located in the opening, and the SHLA includes: an outer housing having an inner bore, an inner housing movably located in the inner bore of the outer housing, and including a spring retainer at an outer end thereof, and a plunger assembly with a hydraulic lash adjuster mechanism movably located in a bore of the inner housing. A lost motion spring is located between the spring retainer and a spring seat located around the boss. This arrangement reduces the overall packaging length of the SHLA in that only a fraction of the lost motion spring's installed height has an influence on the overall length of the SHLA.

  • Publication number: 20170103249
    Abstract: A glass sensor substrate including metallizable through vias and related process is provided. The glass substrate has a first major surface, a second major surface and an average thickness of greater than 0.3 mm. A plurality of etch paths are created through the glass substrate by directing a laser at the substrate in a predetermined pattern. A plurality of through vias through the glass substrate are etched along the etch paths using a hydroxide based etching material. The hydroxide based etching material highly preferentially etches the substrate along the etch path. Each of the plurality of through vias is long compared to their diameter for example such that a ratio of the thickness of the glass substrate to a maximum diameter of each of the through vias is greater than 8 to 1.
