Publication number: 20240044683Abstract: A flow imaging and monitoring system for synchronized management of wide area drainage that includes an interposer for supporting monitoring and management equipment in a manhole, a module for illuminating water flowing in pipes at the base of the manhole, a module for monitoring responses to reflected light, a sealed and rechargeable battery pack, and a data analysis and management system to interpret data streams in real time. The interposer can be adjusted to fit the diameter of the manhole and can be adjusted to be placed under the manhole cover. The module for illuminating the flowing water can be adjusted to generate various frequencies. The support structures for the modules can be adjusted for varying pitch, roll and yaw with respect to the manhole. The data analysis and management system is supported by cloud computing.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicants: GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES AS REPRESENTED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE U.S., URBANALTA CORPInventors: Ruben KERTESZ, Daniel J.

Patent number: 11781306Abstract: Fluid stream management systems and methods relating thereto are described. The fluid management system includes: (1) one or more storage chambers; (2) two or more flow condition attribute measuring devices configured to measures certain flow condition attribute values; (3) one or more flow controllers that are communicatively coupled to receive the flow condition attribute values and use them to establish certain cost functions; and (4) one or more flow-modifying devices, each of which is coupled to at least one of the flow controllers, and based upon instruction received from at least one of the flow controllers, the flow-modifying device is capable of modifying flow of fluid through one or more of the flow-modifying devices to minimize a difference between the established cost functions.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2018Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: XYLEM VUE INC.Inventors: Luis Montestruque, Ruben Kertesz, Frederic Myers

Publication number: 20220307253Abstract: Supporting assemblies for supporting a suspended load and processes relating thereto are described. An exemplar supporting assembly includes: (i) an area-narrowing feature including a first inner surface defining a first aperture; (ii) a main tube including an interior-main surface defining a cavity having disposed therewithin the area-narrowing feature; (iii) an area-expanding feature including a second outer surface; and (iv) a telescoping rod including an outer-telescoping surface having disposed thereon the area-expanding feature. In an assembled state of the supporting assembly, the outer-telescoping surface slidably passes through and establishes a first frictional contact with the first inner surface, and the second outer surface slidably engages and establishes a second frictional contact with the interior-main surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2020Publication date: September 29, 2022Applicant: EMNET, LLCInventors: Jeremy Slater, Ruben Kertesz

Patent number: 11286175Abstract: Fluid stream management systems and methods relating thereto are described. The fluid management system includes a neural network, which comprises: (i) an input layer that is communicatively coupled to one or more fluid facility sensors and/or one or more pre-processing flow sensors such that one or more of the flow condition attribute values are received the neural network; (ii) one or more intermediate layers, which are configured to constrain one or more of the flow condition attribute values to arrive at modified flow condition attribute values; (iii) an output layer, which transmits, one or more modified flow condition attribute values to a downstream control device. This control device and other computation devices perform certain calculations that ultimately inform a flow controller, which in turn, instructs a flow-directing device regarding management of fluid streams.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: EMNET, LLCInventors: Luis Montestruque, Timothy P. Ruggaber, Ruben Kertesz, Alireza Partovi, Timothy P. Braun, Bryant McDonnell
