  • Patent number: 11774324
    Abstract: A method for detecting actual slip in a coupling of a rotary shaft, for example, in a wind turbine power system, includes monitoring, via a controller, a plurality of sensor signals relating to the coupling for faults. In response to detecting a fault in the plurality of sensor signals relating to the coupling, the method includes determining, via the controller, whether the fault is indicative of an actual slip or a no-slip event of the coupling using one or more classification parameters. When the fault is indicative of the actual slip, the method includes estimating, via the controller, a magnitude of the actual slip using the plurality of sensor signals and a time duration of the actual slip. Further, the method includes implementing, via the controller, a control action based on the magnitude of the actual slip in the coupling.

  • Publication number: 20190360295
    Abstract: A control system and method for a blowout preventer (BOP) system in an oil rig is provided. An input module generates control inputs for required components of the blowout preventer system, and transmits the control inputs simultaneously as an operational input and a numerical input, where the operational input is transmitted to the required component of the blowout preventer system. A synchronized model is coupled to the input module to receive the numerical input, and to replicate an operation of the blowout preventer system based on the numerical input. The synchronized model also generates one or more model outputs based on the replication of the operation of the blowout preventer system.

  • Publication number: 20170134625
    Abstract: Systems and methods for illuminating a subject for image capture are described herein. A processor may determine an ambient color temperature of a subject. The processor may further determine a color temperature for outputting light from a display facing a first direction based on a light output characteristic for a dedicated illumination element facing the first direction, the determined ambient color temperature, and a desired color temperature of the subject. The processor may further illuminate the subject using both the dedicated illumination element and the display. The display may output light based on the determined color temperature for outputting light from the display. The processor may further capture, using an image sensor facing the first direction, an image of the subject during the subject being illuminated using both the dedicated illumination element and the display.

  • Publication number: 20170133966
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to an improved system and algorithm for searching for a resonant frequency of a resonant actuator where the error between the drive frequency of the LRA and the resonant frequency of the LRA is large. In one embodiment, the drive frequency of a resonant actuator is set to an initial drive frequency, which is applied to the LRA. An induced voltage on the resonant actuator crosses can then be detected crossing a threshold voltage after the drive signal is turned off. If crossing the threshold voltage is not detected, the system is configured to sweep through a plurality of drive frequencies until the induced voltage on the resonant actuator is detected crossing the threshold voltage. This can be accomplished by repeatedly adjusting the drive frequency by a predefined incremental frequency ?F and determining when the induced voltage on the LRA crosses the threshold voltage.

  • Patent number: 9420248
    Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for color temperature analysis and matching. For example, three or more camera flash LEDs of different output colors can be used to match any of a range of ambient color temperatures in a non-linear space on the black body curve. The scene color temperature can be analyzed in a preliminary image by determining actual sensor R/G and B/G ratios, enabling more accurate matching of foreground flash lighting to background lighting by the reference illuminant for subsequent white balance processing. The current provided to, and therefore brightness emitted from, each LED can be individually controlled based on the determined sensor response to provide a dynamic and adaptive mix of the output colors of the LEDs.

  • Patent number: 8335236
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for automatically configuring an aggregated link between a device supporting Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and two or more FCoE Forwarders (FCFs) configured as a virtual switch in an effort to isolate FCoE traffic from FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) traffic in the aggregated link without user intervention. The virtual switch may be configured using virtual PortChannel (vPC) or MultiChassis EtherChannel (MCEC) technology, for example. For some embodiments, following an exchange of Data Center Bridge Exchange (DCBX) Protocol packets identifying the aggregated link relationship to the device (e.g., a host or intermediate bridge), subchannels may be automatically created within the aggregated link and designated as carrying either FCoE or FIP traffic, thereby isolating the subchannels. In this manner, a user need not perform manual isolation of FCoE-carrying trunks in a data center environment.
