  • Publication number: 20250045539
    Abstract: A method of dual mode asset management includes a dual mode supervisor that configures one or more computing resources of a dual mode asset to directly report asset related data to a dual mode database over a network connection to the Internet while the dual mode asset is in an online mode of operation and configures a Wi-Fi interface of the dual mode asset to broadcast beacon frames comprising asset related data while the dual mode asset is in an offline mode of operation with no network connection to the Internet. The offline mode of operation relies upon Troverlo, Inc.'s passive asset or sensor tracking to indirectly report the asset related data to the dual mode database by way of location services. In an dual mode of operation, dual mode supervisor configures the dual mode asset to perform two or more of directly report, scan, and beacon simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20250044813
    Abstract: A system and method for cleaning of heat exchanger tubes including an assembly, an indexer, and a communication device provided with specialized software and programming. The indexer includes orthogonally arranged first and second arms. A trolley and sensors are provided on the indexer arms. One or more lances are provided on the trolley to deliver water jets into the openings. Sensors measure displacement as the trolley is moved relative to the heat exchanger's face plate. An operator controls the system from a distance away using the communication device. During setup, the pattern of the face plate is learned and mapped utilizing information from the sensors as one of the inputs. This information is utilized to help navigate the face plate during a subsequent cleaning operation. A kit for retrofitting existing X-Y indexers is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20250046065
    Abstract: In the disclosed systems and methods for categorizing medical data, a computer system obtains, in electronic form, a plurality of medical records. Each medical record includes corresponding medical data from a respective medical evaluation and corresponding metadata comprising a plurality of attributes about the respective medical evaluation. Each respective attribute comprises a corresponding string of text. The computer system determines, for each respective pair of medical records consisting of a first medical record and a second medical record, a corresponding pairwise similarity between, for each respective attribute in a set of attributes, the corresponding string of text for the first medical record and the corresponding string of text for the second medical record. The computer system identifies a first subset of the plurality of medical records. Each respective medical record in the first subset is connected to each other through pairwise similarities that each satisfies a similarity threshold.
