A method includes: receiving component data comprising sensor data corresponding to a component and engine data; pre-processing the component data by removing a first set of sensor data values that correspond to a first set of engine data values of the engine data; aggregating the pre-processed component data by grouping a second set of sensor values of the sensor data; determining a RUL for the component based on a RUL model that correlates at least a portion of the aggregated data to RUL values; adjusting the RUL based on at least one of detecting a service event or determining that one or more sensor data values of the sensor data are outside a predetermined range of values; and providing the RUL to a user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2024Publication date: August 1, 2024Applicant: Cummins Power Generation Inc.Inventors: Mayura H. Halbe, Daniel J. O'Connor, Alan C. Anderson, Sachin Joshi, William Marshall Cover, Luke Thomas Jennings, Pagalavan Mathari Bakthavatsalam, Nidhi Sakhala, John Howland, Michael T. Hughes, David E.

Patent number: 10995642Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for increasing exhaust gas temperature. A system includes a valve and a controller coupled to the valve. The controller is structured to determine that an exhaust manifold pressure does not meet an exhaust manifold pressure setpoint and in response, cause an adjustment of an effective flow area of exhaust gas from an engine. The adjustment of the effective flow area is structured to increase an exhaust gas temperature.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Travis Alva Anderson, Joan M.

Patent number: 10533514Abstract: A method of controlling a fuel injector comprises measuring a pressure in a cylinder of an engine with a pressure sensor and determining at least one of a crank angle and a crank speed with a crank sensor. The method also comprises calculating a net indicated mean effective pressure of the cylinder from the measured value of the pressure sensor and the determined value of the crank sensor. Also, the method comprises adjusting a fueling parameter of a fuel injector for the cylinder in response to the difference between the calculated net indicated mean effective pressure and a reference mean effective pressure indicates a change in power of the engine. Alternatively, the method may adjust the fueling parameter based on a power feedback signal for the engine.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Phanindra V. Garimella, John L. Hoehne, Ian W. McGiffen, Chandan Mahato, Boopathi Singalandapuram Mahadevan, Pagalavan Mathari Bakthavatsalam, Travis Alva Anderson
