Title: Autonomous machine operation using vibration analysis
Inventor: NATHAN ADAMS
IPC: B60W60/00
Filed: 2020-02-04
Abstract: A method of controlling an autonomous machine comprising a tractor unit and a trailer unit, comprising measuring S4 the acceleration of the tractor and/or trailer along three perpendicular axes (ax, ay, az); measuring a velocity of the machine; and if the acceleration of the tractor and/or trailer exceeds a predetermined maximum acceleration S5, reducing the velocity S6 of the autonomous machine. The machine may be an articulated dump truck (ADT). Once the acceleration has decreased below the threshold S8, the velocity of the machine may be subsequently increased up to a maximum velocity threshold S12 – this may happen after a time delay. In a second invention, a model of machine performance can be used to determine an optimal velocity for the machine in response to vibration acceleration exceeding a threshold. Tyre pressure may be used in the determinations of optimal machine velocity. Service and/or maintenance of the machine may be scheduled based upon the detection of vibrational accelerations above the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A vehicle (e.g. railway vehicle, trolley bus) is adapted to drive on: electrified routes (R1) while being supplied with electrical energy from an electric line of a respective electrified route; and routes while not being supplied with electrical energy from any electric line of a respective route. While the vehicle is driving or stopping on a route while not being supplied with electrical energy from the route, heat from a heat generating device 11 (e.g. transformer) of the vehicle is input to a functional system (e.g. heating, air-conditioning system) on board the vehicle. The functional system performs a function other than transferring the heat input to the ambience of the vehicle. Waste heat from the heat generating device may be transferred, via a coolant in first coolant line 12, to a cooler 15 that transfers heat from the coolant to the ambience of the vehicle. A main pump 17 in the first coolant line may circulate coolant through the first coolant line and return it, via second coolant line 14, from the cooler to the heat generating device. A third coolant line 16 may branch off from the first coolant line to supply coolant to a heat interface 13 to the functional system. A second pump 19 may circulate coolant through the third coolant line and return it, via fourth coolant line 18 and second coolant line, from the heat interface to the heat generating device.

Title: Prospective kick loss detection for off-shore drilling
Inventor: ZHIJIE SUN
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2019-12-12
Abstract: Certain aspects and features relate to a system that monitors for kick and lost circulation in the riser string of an offshore drilling rig. The system compensates for annulus outflow fluctuation induced by wave (heave) motion in order to reduce false alarms, resulting in fewer drilling operation disruptions. The system includes a sensor or sensors disposable with respect to a drilling rig subject to rig motion. A processor receives a real-time position signal indicative of the rig motion from the sensor and applies a state observer to the position signal to determine annular flow parameters. The system models an annular flow for the wellbore to produce a modeled flow signal that reflects a position of the drilling rig relative to influx flow. The system uses the modeled flow to determine kick-loss-alarm parameters that take into account the heave motion.
