  • Publication number: 20250123015
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to for identifying a mis-set, mis-calibrated, or malfunctioning thermostat. The method can include receiving ambient environmental data from at least one sensor monitoring an asset; identifying aberrative behavior in the ambient environment data; obtaining a complement of the aberrative behavior; determining a segment of normal behavior in the complement; identifying a mis-set subsequence in the segment; generating a report documenting the mis-set subsequence; and transmitting the report to a user device.

  • Patent number: 11181894
    Abstract: A computing system may create an anomaly detection model to detect anomalies in multivariate data originating from a given data source by extracting a model object for the anomaly detection model using a first set of training data originating from the given data source, establishing starting values of a set of anomaly thresholds for the anomaly detection model using the extracted model object and a second set of training data originating from the given data source, and refining the starting values of the set of anomaly thresholds for at least a subset of the variables included in the multivariate data using the extracted model object and a set of test data. In turn, the computing system may use the anomaly detection model to monitor for anomalies in observation data originating from the given data source.

  • Patent number: 10579932
    Abstract: A computing system may operate in a first mode during which it calculates a set of training metrics on a running basis as a stream of multivariate data points originating from a data source is being received. While operating in the first mode, the computing system may determine that the set of training metrics has reached a threshold level of stability. In response, the computing system may transition to a second mode during which its extracts a model object and calculates a set of model parameters for an anomaly detection model. While operating in the second mode, the computing system may determine that the set of model parameters has reached a threshold level of stability. In response, the computing system may transition to a third mode during which it uses the anomaly detection model to monitor for anomalies in the stream of multivariate data points originating from the data source.

  • Patent number: 6030461
    Abstract: A portable cooling system for use with a semiconductor fabrication system having a heating block is provided. A portable cooling system, consistent with one embodiment of the invention, includes a support structure removably mountable on part of the semiconductor fabrication system and near the heating block of the fabrication system. Disposed on the support structure are one or more fans for blowing air over the heating block. In one embodiment, the support structure includes a plate and a plurality of legs which extend down from the plate for mounting on the heating block. In another embodiment, the support structure includes a plate and means for mounting the plate on one or more walls of the semiconductor fabrication system. The portable cooling system facilitates the cooling of the heating block of the fabrication system and can, for example, significantly reduce the time spent cleaning the semiconductor fabrication system as compared to conventional cleaning techniques.
