  • Publication number: 20240074868
    Abstract: An example method is provided for maintaining stability to an injury defined by a separation of two bones (e.g., the tibia and fibula), the separation being an injured distance greater than a pre-injury distance between the two bones in a first human patient. The method may include delivering a first apparatus for approximation of the two bones in the first human patient comprising the injury, the first apparatus including a flexible segment disposed between a first anchor and a second anchor. The method may further include maintaining, by the first apparatus, a restored distance between the two bones in the first human patient after a repetitive dynamic loading, the restored distance approximately equal to the pre-injury distance.

  • Patent number: 11017302
    Abstract: Computer systems, devices, and methods are provided for improving the technology related to asset condition monitoring. For instance, an asset data platform may be configured to receive data related to asset operation, ingest, process, and analyze the received data, and then provide a set of advanced tools that enable a user to monitor asset operation and take action based on that asset operation. The set of advanced tools may include (1) an interactive visualization tool, (2) a task creation tool, (3) a rule creation tool, and/or (4) a metadata tool.

  • Patent number: 10754721
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods related to assets and asset operating conditions.

  • Patent number: 10474932
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for detecting anomalies in multivariate data received from an asset-related data source, such as signal data and/or other data from an asset. According to an example, a platform may receive multivariate data from an asset in an original coordinate space and transform the data in the original coordinate space to a transformed coordinate space having a relatively fewer number of dimensions. Additionally, the platform may standardize the data in the transformed coordinate space and modify the standardized data based on a comparison between the standardized data and a set of threshold values previously defined via training data reflective of normal asset operation. Thereafter, the platform may inversely transform the modified data back to the original coordinate space and perform an analysis to detect anomalies.

  • Patent number: 10417076
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods related to assets and asset operating conditions. In particular, examples involve defining and executing predictive models for outputting health metrics that estimate the operating health of an asset or a part thereof, analyzing health metrics to determine variables that are associated with high health metrics, and modifying the handling of abnormal-condition indicators in accordance with a prediction of a likely response to such abnormal-condition indicators, among other examples.

  • Publication number: 20180247239
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods related to the interaction between assets and remote analytics systems, which may involve an asset compressing time-series values captured for a given operating data variable by producing an approximated version of the time-series values that comprises a set of approximation function-base region pairs.

  • Publication number: 20170292940
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods related to a determination of whether an asset has a fluid issue. In particular, examples involve a platform defining a predictive model for outputting an indicator of whether an asset is likely to have a fluid issue based at least on historical fluid data for one or more assets. The historical fluid data may comprise at least one of a plurality of fluid reports for the one or more assets and an indication of a fluid issue for each fluid report. The platform may receive at least one fluid report associated with a given asset and based at least on the predictive model and the received at least one fluid report, make a determination that the given asset is likely to have a fluid issue. The platform may cause a computing device to output an indication of the determination.
