Abstract: A vehicle detection system warns snowmobilers of other approaching vehicles with potential risk of collision. To better prevent accidents, the system calculates collision risks and warns the rider based on level of risk. When riding in groups, a member can press a stop request button to ask the group to slow down. When a member exits the group, everyone in the group will receive a message, alerts or indication with the update. The vehicle detection system utilizes Bluetooth® low energy (BLE), LoRaWAN® technologies and/or global positioning system technologies and is designed to detect other devices in the region and use acquired information to calculate proximity and risk of collision.

Abstract: A system includes a gateway that is configured to receive a message from a source for transmission to a destination and multiple communication channels on which to transmit the message to the destination, where the communication channels include different types of communication channels. The system includes a decision engine that is operably coupled to the gateway and the communication channels. The decision engine is configured to select a first communication channel from the communication channels to route the message for transmission to the destination. The decision engine is configured to select a second communication channel from the communication channels to route the message for transmission to the destination in response to a period of time expiring without receiving an acknowledgement from the destination via the first communication channel, where the second communication channel is a different type of communication channel than the first communication channel.

Abstract: A method of generating NOx curves over a range of load points includes obtaining current measurements from a respective sensor and validating the current measurements. A plurality of input curves are generated using predefined inputs for each load point. The plurality of input curves include a first set point curve and a second set point curve, where the second setpoint curve includes the first setpoint curve offset with the current measurements. A plurality of NOx curves are generated including a design curve, an adjusted design curve, and a NOx generation curve created by a neural model. The second setpoint curve is passed through the neural model to derive the NOx generation curve. After validating the NOx generation curve and adjusted design curve, one of the plurality of NOx curves is outputted.

Abstract: A method of generating emission curves over a range of load points includes obtaining current measurements from a respective sensor. The current measurements are validated and a plurality of emission curves using predefined inputs for each load point are generated. The plurality of emission curves includes an emission design curve and a corresponding real time incremental emission curve. Each corresponding real time incremental emission curve and emission design curve are validated to generate a validated emission curve. An incremental emission cost curve using each validated emission curve for each type of emission is generated. Each incremental emission cost curve is summed if there is more than one incremental emission cost curve.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture such as software media for creating projected power production data are disclosed. The method may comprise storing historical heat rate data and historical process information for at least one power generation unit in a historical heat rate database. The method may also comprise retrieving the historical heat rate data from the database for a selected time interval and correcting the historical rate data using correction factors which may be based on differences between the historical process information and projected process information; and creating a projected cost or a projected price for a future time interval based on the retrieved historical heat rate data.
