  • Publication number: 20240136552
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are aspects of methods to control airflow to a fuel cell stack and a cooling fan within a housing by fluidly connecting a predetermined minimum volume of airflow through the housing to the fan and a series of louvres, adjustable apertures, and bypass valves dynamically adjust the air flow to at least one of one of the fuel cell stack and fan providing the required minimum volume of fluid to the fan during different controller based modes of operation.

  • Patent number: 11725926
    Abstract: The present application relates to an atom interferometry method. The atom interferometry method releases atoms from an atom source into an interferometer region. Pulses of light are then directed at the atoms to place the atoms in different quantum states and to recombine the quantum states such that the recombined quantum states interfere with each other when the quantum states are overlapped spatially. The recombined quantum states creates a spatial fringe pattern with a phase. The spatial fringe pattern and the phase of the spatial fringe pattern are detected when the quantum states are overlapped spatially. The overlapped spatial fringe pattern is then used to measure physical quantities such as local gravity, the gravitational constant, the fine structure constant, the ratio of Planck's constant to the atomic mass, rotation of the atom interferometer, acceleration of the atom interferometer, and the like.

  • Patent number: 11716170
    Abstract: A protocol layer on top of the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) system of paired devices to provide transmission that allows arbitrary sizes of data to be sent. To guarantee transmissions, the transmissions may be validated and, if required, resent to replace data that was lost or corrupted. The protocol layer also supports Remote Procedure Calls to allow functions on either of two connected devices to be executed on one device on behalf of the other. A further protocol layer also allows high priority, short messages to temporarily interrupt the transmission of low priority, long messages.

  • Publication number: 20220166563
    Abstract: A protocol layer on top of the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) system of paired devices (110, 150) to provide transmission that allows arbitrary sizes of data to be sent. To guarantee transmissions, the transmissions may be validated (324) and, if required, resent to replace data that was lost or corrupted. The protocol layer also supports Remote Procedure Calls to allow functions on either of two connected devices (110, 150) to be executed on one device on behalf of the other. A further protocol layer also allows high priority, short messages (510) to temporarily interrupt the transmission of low priority, long messages (520, 530).

  • Publication number: 20220161117
    Abstract: A method for a processor to analyze motion data includes receiving times series of raw motion data, hereafter the raw data streams, and generating sparse data streams based on the raw data streams. The method also includes performing a raw data action identification to detect the action in a window of time, which includes modifying one or more first thresholds based on the user information and comparing one or more of the raw data streams in the window with one or more modified first thresholds. The method further includes determining a score of the detected action and providing a visualized feedback to the user based on the score.

  • Publication number: 20220165012
    Abstract: An avatar personalized for a subject and used in movement analysis and coaching uses a 3D polygon mesh representation of a human, authored for one human skeleton model, with a different size (scaled) skeleton model, without producing visual artifacts. Dimensions of the scaled skeleton model can be determined from three or eight measurements of a subject or from scanning or photographic methods. The avatar animated based on motion capture data may be animated alone or with one or more other avatars that are synchronized spatially, orientationally, and/or at multiple times to allow a user to easily compare differences between performances. An information presentation in an animation may use pixel energies from multiple animation frames to ensure that the information remains relatively stationary and does not obstruct important visual details.

  • Patent number: 11113610
    Abstract: A system and related method for building and deploying one or more inference models for use in remote condition monitoring of a first fleet of a first asset. The system includes model configuration data for subsequent use by a model builder application to construct one or more desired inference models for the first asset. The model configuration data is customized to the first asset and the desired one or more inference models, and is provided in a format which is easily readable and editable by a user of the system. The model configuration data is separate from the underlying processing algorithms which are employed by the model builder application in the constructing of the one or more desired inference models during a learning mode of operation of the system.

  • Publication number: 20170161963
    Abstract: A method of identifying anomalies in a monitored system includes acquiring input data from a plurality of sensors in the monitored system. Preprocessing the acquired data to prepare it for modeling leaves a first data subset that feeds into a normal Gaussian mixture model built using normal operating conditions of the monitored system. Removing data flagged as anomalous by the normal Gaussian mixture model leaves a second data subset that is compared to at least one threshold. If the comparison indicates that the second data subset contains anomalies, then the second data subset feeds into at least one of a set of asset performance Gaussian mixture models. Identifying which data contribute to an abnormality in the monitored system leaves a third data subset. Post-processing the third data subset may extract anomalies in the monitored system.
