Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure help to increase the reliability of differential static pressure sensor readings used to remotely monitor the performance of an HVAC air filter. Embodiments of the present disclosure solve two problems, one related to degraded reliability of a differential pressure sensor and the second due to airflow properties such as turbulence impacting the accuracy and repeatability of differential pressure readings. Sensor reliability and lifetime are improved by reducing the access to and accumulation of dust at the sensor element by design of the air column to the sensor. The loss of accuracy and repeatability of sensor readings produced by properties of the airflow such as turbulence, among others, is reduced by a design and placement of a manifold that extends into the incoming air flow from the filter frame.

Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to a systems and methods for a digital asset generation platform. The digital asset generation platform may ingest an ingest input. The digital asset generation platform may utilize a document identification engine corresponding to a first stage of a multi-stage convolutional neural network for identifying document types of documents. The digital asset generation platform may utilize an object detector engine corresponding to a second stage of the multi-stage convolutional neural network for detecting a dynamic mapping in the digital file. The digital asset generation platform may utilize a post-processing engine for classifying the dynamic mapping in the at least one digital file. The digital asset generation platform may dynamically generate a digital asset representative of the document based on the key value data pairs extracted from the dynamic mapping.
