Patent number: 11710489Abstract: A system and method to determine a remaining useful life estimation of a material under evaluation. The equipment comprises at least one computer and a material features acquisition system operable to detect a plurality of material features. The features are then evaluated according to rules captured from of experts and inputted into the computer. The computer iterations are processed until an acceptable conclusion is made regarding the condition of the material under evaluation. The remaining useful life estimation capability may also be retrofitted into conventional inspection systems by extracting pertinent features through spectral frequency analysis and sensor normalization and utilizing those features in the autonomous remaining useful life estimation system.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2017Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Inventor: Wanda Papadimitriou

Patent number: 11680867Abstract: Riser stress-engineering-assessment equipment to verify the integrity and the in-deployment-integrity of a riser string by knowing the status, details and location of each riser joint and by monitoring the deployment parameters. When the failure risk exceeds an acceptable level, the equipment activates a local and/or a remote alarm using voice, sound and lights. The system comprises a computer with communication means, a material properties and geometry detection system, a data acquisition system acquiring deployment and other parameters, a database comprising of riser historical data and captured expert knowledge, a failure-criteria calculation to calculate maximum-stresses under different loads and the combined effects of the different loads to determine if the riser string is still fit-for-deployment.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2019Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Inventor: Wanda Papadimitriou
