  • Patent number: 12652216
    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: 7182975
    Abstract: A method of applying a moisture barrier seal to a fiber optic coil includes mounting a fiber optic coil in a vacuum deposition chamber, so as to expose a large exterior surface area of the fiber optic coil to an interior portion of the deposition chamber. The method further includes reducing the air pressure within the chamber to a value that is less than ambient pressure outside of the chamber. The method further includes introducing a vapor form of a non-porous material, preferably parylene, into the chamber. The vapor form of the non-porous material changes into a solid state upon contact with the fiber optic coil, so as to form a conformal coat on the fiber optic coil.

  • Patent number: 6859471
    Abstract: A method of stabilizing output characteristics of an SLD device with respect to ambient temperature is disclosed. The SLD device includes a cooling module for cooling an SLD chip, and a sensor for providing a set point signal corresponding to a set point temperature. The cooling module and the sensor, together with control electronics, form a feedback loop for maintaining the set point temperature within a predetermined range. The method comprises determining a variation of the output characteristics as a function of ambient temperature, and determining a variation of the set point signal as a function of ambient temperature, wherein the variation of the set point signal corresponds to the variation of the output characteristics. The method also includes modifying the feedback loop so as to offset the variation of the set point signal, and thereby stabilize the variation of the output characteristics as a function of ambient temperature.
