  • Publication number: 20250112819
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring operations of an industrial facility. A gateway device is located at the industrial facility and operably coupled to sensors disposed at the industrial facility. The gateway device executes tasks configured to i) monitor alarms or triggers or other events related to operating conditions of the industrial facility, ii) identify a particular alarm or trigger or other event that is activated or set, iii) identify at least one risk associated with the particular alarm or trigger or other event that is activated or set, and iv) dynamically construct a causal network to evaluate the at least one risk. The tasks can be implemented by a behavior tree (BT) that combines automated causal network generation and risk analysis. The BT performs real-time analysis of the sensor data to generate actions or indicators from the sensor data for input to the casual network for risk analysis.

  • Patent number: 12261029
    Abstract: A direct drive system for providing RF power to a component of a substrate processing system includes a direct drive circuit including a switch and configured to supply RF power to the component. A switch protection module is configured to monitor a load current and a load voltage in a processing chamber, calculate load resistance based on the load current and the load voltage, compare the load resistance to a first predetermined load resistance, and adjust at least one of an RF power limit and an RF current limit of the direct drive circuit based on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20250091711
    Abstract: Systems and methods of aircraft modal suppression informed by an underlying non-uniform vertical turbulence model and uniform lateral turbulence model. The systems and methods include receiving a plurality of signals from on-board inertial sensors of an aircraft, utilizing the plurality of signals to generate a plurality of observers, utilizing the observers to determine a control law command for controlling one or more control surfaces of the aircraft, and moving the one or more control surfaces of the aircraft in accordance with the determined control law command such that lateral mode vibrations of the aircraft are diminished.

  • Publication number: 20250061274
    Abstract: A computing system receives a request to generate one or more narrative frameworks for a worksheet. The worksheet is hosted by a third party server. The computing system interfaces with the third party server to retrieve data associated with the worksheet. The computing system infers attributes of the worksheet from the retrieved data. The attributes correspond to a type of data represented in the worksheet. The computing system generates a narrative template for the one or more narrative frameworks. The computing system generates one or more data variables for the one or more narrative frameworks based on the generated narrative template. The computing system constructs the one or more narrative frameworks by selectively retrieving data from the worksheet for each data variable of the one or more data variables in the narrative framework.

  • Patent number: 12122059
    Abstract: Razor handles with integrated spring elements and/or methods of fabricating the same. In one example, a handle for a razor can comprise a head portion and a spring element having a distal end and a proximal end that longitudinally opposes the distal end to define an arc length of the spring element. The head portion can facilitate coupling razor cartridges in pivotal relation with the handle. The spring element can extend integrally from the head portion at the proximal end. The spring element can deflect as an abutment surface on the distal end travels in sliding engagement with a cam surface of a razor cartridge to an end point of the cam surface while exerting progressively increasing return torque as the razor cartridge rotates about a front pivot axis from a neutral position. The end point can fall proximal to a rear edge of the razor cartridge.

  • Patent number: 11965585
    Abstract: A powertrain system for a commercial electric vehicle includes an electric motor, a multi-speed transmission, and a drive line. A reducer assembly is added prior to connection to the drive line to decease the rotational speed generated by the electric motor prior to being transmitted to the drive line. The reducer assembly can be placed before the multi-speed transmission input, after the multi-speed transmission output, or somewhere in between those two locations. The reducer assembly includes a reducer gearset for decreasing shaft rotational speed. The reducer assembly may include adjacent idler gears to reduce the pressure load on the gear teeth of the reducer assembly.
