Abstract: A drilling risk analysis system may provide, on a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computing device, a selectable work icon associated with a modular work item of a wellbore plan. Based on receiving a work icon selection of the selectable work icon, the drilling risk analysis system may provide, on the GUI, a selectable event icon associated with historical events related to the modular work item associated with the selectable work icon. The drilling risk analysis system may, based on receiving an event icon selection of the selectable event icon, apply a risk model to the modular work item. The risk model performs a risk analysis of an event likelihood and event severity of an event related to the historical events and generates a risk analysis report of the event. The drilling risk analysis system may present the risk analysis report of the event on the GUI.

Abstract: For detecting a cyber-attack on a machine controller, a concurrent simulation of the machine is run in a secured access domain. From the machine controller actual control data are transmitted to the machine and resulting monitoring data are transmitted to a monitoring device. Furthermore, sensor data of the machine are transmitted to the concurrent simulation on a first secured transmission path. Based on the sensor data, the concurrent simulation simulates an operational behavior of the machine, thus inferring simulated monitoring data. The simulated monitoring data are then compared with the resulting monitoring, and an alarm signal is triggered depending on the comparison.

Abstract: In order to monitor the temperature of an electromechanical machine using electrical operating data of the machine, structural data concerning a geometry, a thermal conductivity and an electrical conductivity of elements of the machine is imported. Using the structural data and the electrical operating data, electrical energy losses in the machine are continuously simulated in a spatially resolved manner by means of an electrical simulation model of the machine. Furthermore, a temperature distribution in the machine is continuously simulated by means of a thermal simulation model of the machine using the structural data and the simulated electrical energy losses. In accordance with the simulated temperature distribution, a temperature value is then determined for a component of the machine and output in order to monitor its temperature.

For example, some embodiments of the invention may provide real-time (e.g., in response to a transaction being performed, or in response to the user indicating he/she is contemplating a transaction) useful analysis and advice designed to encourage the type of ongoing financial behavior that leads over time to financial well-being. Some embodiments are directed to ascertaining a current financial path for a user and a typical financial path in one or more prior months, and causing information useful for rendering a representation of the current and typical financial paths on a graphical user interface to be transmitted via one or more networks to a mobile device associated with the user.

Abstract: In order to monitor the condition of a machine, current operating data relating to the machine are continuously captured and are taken as a basis for continuously simulating a current operating behavior of a machine component by a concurrent simulation module. Furthermore, performance values quantifying a current performance of the machine component are continuously derived from the simulated operating behavior and are stored over time. In addition, a performance normal value is regularly determined on the basis of a multiplicity of performance values which were derived earlier. The operating data and/or the performance values are monitored in order to determine whether a predefined first change pattern occurs. Detection of the first change pattern then causes a performance reference value to be updated with the current performance normal value. In addition, the respective current performance values are continuously compared with the current performance reference value in each case.

Then for a respective component: event points allocated to that respective component are identified, the sensor signal at a first identified event point in the first time series is compared with the sensor signal at a second identified event point in the second time series, and depending on the comparison a component-specific fault information and an identification of the respective component are output.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of monitoring and/or controlling an electro-mechanical device, such as an electrical motor and/or generator, includes determining a first probability distribution of a virtual measurement variable, such as temperature at a predetermined position, of the electro-mechanical device. A confidence level is determined for a first value of the virtual measurement variable based on the first probability distribution. An operating mode of the electro-mechanical device is changed based on the confidence level, and/or an indication is displayed on a display. The indication instructs a user to change the operating mode of the electro-mechanical device.
