Abstract: Machine assisted systems and methods for anisotropic polyhedral boundary layer adaptation that provides an anisotropic refinement of polyhedral prisms are described. The method can include operations: identifying a prismatic polyhedral cell as a parent cell within a polyhedral mesh representing an object of a physical system; generating a plurality of child cells for the parent cell based on non-overlapping child faces of a side face as a parent face, wherein a pair of mid-edge nodes for the side face are connected anisotropically for a child face edge of the non-overlapping child faces, the pair of mid-edge nodes are connected between the two base edges or between the two side edges; and refining the polyhedral mesh until a refinement level or a size limit is obtained, wherein the refining the polyhedral mesh includes the identification of the prismatic polyhedral cell and the generation of the plurality of child cells.

Abstract: An HVAC controller controlled in response to a natural language audio message that is not recognizable by the HVAC controller as a command, where the natural language audio message is translated into a command recognizable by the HVAC controller. The HVAC controller may be a thermostat and may include a housing that at least partially houses a control module, a microphone, a speaker, a display, and a voice recognition module. The voice recognition module recognizes a predetermined audible trigger from a recorded voice message or streamed voice message, and in response, provide one or more audio clips via the speaker and/or video clips via the display to assist users in operating the thermostat. A user may communicate with the thermostat via the thermostat and/or a remote device.

A plurality of parent faces having a plurality of parent face edges are extracted for each polyhedral cell within the polyhedra mesh. For each parent face, a plurality of nodes are defined and connected either isotropically or anisotropically. A plurality of non-overlapping child faces are generated with a perimeter defined by a combination of parent face edges and child face edges. A plurality of child cells are generated from the connection of child faces of the plurality of non-overlapping child faces. Subsequent coarsening of the plurality of child cells occurs by the simultaneous agglomeration into each respective parent cell.
