Publication number: 20240112105Abstract: A work request interface receives work request data for a power generation system. The work request data includes a work request having data characterizing equipment of the power generation system and a first state of the equipment. The work request interface processes the work request to modify at least one field in the work request to provide a standardized work request. The standardized work request includes data characterizing operations needed to change a state of the equipment from the first state to a second state. A work order generator receives the standardized work request and determines a priority of the standardized work request. The work order generator determines a mode of operation of the power generation system needed to change the state of the equipment from the first state to the second state and generates a set of work orders for the work request.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Ricardo L. Rivera, Kevin K. Ogden, Michael E. Willis, Carlos A. Lizano, Sally A. Rosen, Randall R. Wagner, Faye G. Spindler

Publication number: 20230333526Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and using equipment definitions are provided. An archetypal device used to identify one or more first data points associated with the archetypal device. A point definition is generated for each identified first data point associated with the archetypal device. Each point definition includes an abstraction of a text string extracted from the corresponding first data point that is applicable to multiple different devices of the same type of building equipment. The generated point definitions are used to create an equipment definition for a type of building equipment. The equipment definition can be used to identify first data points associated with other devices of the same type of building equipment and to automatically create equipment objects representing such devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Johnson Controls Tyco IP Holdings LLPInventors: Ryan A.

Patent number: 10262547Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for scoring a constructed response generated by a user and providing information on the user's writing behavior. A constructed response and associated electronic process log are received. The constructed response is processed to generate first feature values representative of aspects of the constructed response. The electronic process log is processed to generate second feature values related to the user's actions in generating the constructed response. A score for the constructed response is generated using the processing system by applying a computer scoring model to the first and second feature values. A rule of a rule engine that is satisfied is identified, the rule being satisfied when one or more feature values of the second feature values meet a condition associated with the rule. Information on the user's actions in generating the constructed response is provided based on the satisfied rule.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2015Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Educational Testing ServiceInventors: Paul Deane, Gary Feng, Mo Zhang, Jiangang Hao, Yoav Bergner, Michael Flor, Michael E.

Patent number: 6167316Abstract: A computer-implemented building automation system is provided with an asynchronous communication architecture for supporting object-oriented applications that interact with distributed building automation devices. Standard application objects which need to be informed of changes to the value of another object's attributes use a connection object to establish an asynchronous link between standard objects. A source object has a control attribute that changes based upon the execution of this object's control method which in turn is linked to a second control attribute of a destination object. By linking these attributes, a connection object is defined to manage information being passed between these two objects. Upon instantiation of the connection object, it registers the second control attribute with the source object to receive "significant" changes in the value of its control attribute.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1998Date of Patent: December 26, 2000Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology Co.Inventors: Jeffrey J. Gloudeman, Donald A. Gottschalk, David E. Rasmussen, Michael E. Wagner

Patent number: 6115713Abstract: A networked system having a wide variety of applications and particularly applicable to facilities management systems has multiple levels of software in processing nodes. The levels include a "features" processing level which communicates requests for data to a software object level containing databases of processes and attributes and database managers. The database managers in the software object level operate to provide data to the high level features in the same format. The software object level communicates with a hardware object level which also contains databases and database managers to mask differences between operational hardware units. By categorizing operational units by type, additional units of a known type can be added with only low level hardware object database changes. Adding units of a new type is facilitated by software changes confined to the lower level hardware and software objects, avoiding software changes at high level features.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1996Date of Patent: September 5, 2000Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Gregory A.
