Title: Monitoring of lined pipeline
Inventor: STEPHEN BARNES
IPC: G01M3/18
Filed: 2016-10-13
Abstract: A method of producing a lined pipeline with a leak or integrity monitoring system, the method comprises providing a two sections of lined pipe 111 each with a sensor cable 131 disposed in a continuous annulus between the host pipe and the pipe lining. The pipe linings are then joined using an electrofusion fitting 141 configured to enable the sensor cable in each pipe section to communicate with each other. The sensor cable is able to bridge a joint between sections of lined pipe, for example by routing the sensor cable across the joint via a channel in an electrofusion fitting or by connecting successive lengths of sensor cable via pass-throughs in an electrofusion fitting. Alternatively, a terminal may be provided at each end of the electrofusion fitting to attaching the sensor cable. Advantageously, the continuous annulus is maintained across pipe joints using electrofusion fittings. The electrofusion fitting may also comprise sensors for leak monitoring and insulation 149 to protect the sensor cable from heat damage. A method of monitoring the integrity of a lined pipeline produced in this way by monitoring data from sensors along the sensor cable is also claimed.

Title: Two-factor authentication for user interface devices in a process plant
Inventor: Todd M Toepke
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2017-06-21
Abstract: Two-factor user authentication in a process plant includes receiving, at a user interface (UI) device, a first type of identification information for a user from an identification device (e.g. NFC or RFID tag) or a physical trait of the user. The UI device also receives a second type of identification information for the user from knowledge-based information provided by the user (e.g. user login). The UI device then determines that each type of identification information corresponds to the same authorized user within the process plant. When both types of identification information are for the same authorized user, the user is granted access to the UI device. Accordingly, the user may execute functions on the UI device to perform operations on a plant asset which is connected to the UI device. A level of authorization for the user may be determined and may include a time duration and a plant area in which the user is authorized to access plant assets. A determination may also be made as to whether the UI device is authorized to access the connected plant asset based on a set of permissions assigned to it, and whether the UI device is licensed to execute a function.

Title: Manual vehicle control notification
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER L SCOFIELD
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 2016-09-02
Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for notifying drivers to assume manual vehicle control of vehicles. For example, sensor data is acquired from on-board vehicles sensors (e.g., radar, sonar, and/or camera imagery of a crosswalk) of a vehicle that is in an autonomous driving mode. In an example, the sensor data is augmented with driving condition data aggregated from vehicle sensor data of other vehicles (e.g., a cloud service collects and aggregates vehicle sensor data from vehicles within the crosswalk to identify and provide the driving condition data to the vehicle). The sensor data (e.g., augmented sensor data) is evaluated to identify a driving condition of a road segment, such as the crosswalk (e.g., pedestrians protesting within the crosswalk). Responsive to the driving condition exceeding a complexity threshold for autonomous driving decision making functionality, a driver alert to assume manual vehicle control may be provided to a driver.

Title: Method for early detection of certain abnormal operating conditions in hall-hèroult electrolysis cells
Inventor: KONSTANTIN NIKANDROV
IPC: C25C3/20
Filed: 2018-03-07
Abstract: A method of operating an automated aluminum electrolytic cell, which uses feedback from the cell operation in order to assess if there are any abnormal operating conditions in the general operation of the cells. These may include “anode effects” or more general tapping operations. The method uses general monitoring of cell voltage and resistance, when compared to preset values, in order to make this determination and thus adjust factors such as the height of the anode to mitigate any “anode effects”. Monitoring of the cells continues after the height adjustment has been performed to determine whether or not further adjustments are necessary. The system also identifies the situation of tapping rather than “anodic effects” via the cell voltage and moves the anode assemblies downwards such as to catch up with the increasing anode — cathode distance due to the decrease of in metal level.

Title: Method for user voice activity detection in a communication assembly communication assembly thereof
Inventor: Jiajin An
IPC: G10L25/78
Filed: 2018-02-13
Abstract: Many headsets include automatic noise cancellation (ANC) which dramatically reduces perceived background noise and improves user listening experience. Unfortunately, the voice microphones in these devices often capture ambient noise that the headsets output during phone calls or other communication sessions to other users. In response, many headsets and communication devices provide manual muting circuitry, but users frequently forget to turn the muting on and/or off, creating further problems as they communicate. To address this, the present inventors devised, among other things, an exemplary headset that detects the absence or presence of user speech, automatically muting and unmuting the voice microphone without user intervention. Some embodiments leverage relationships between feedback and feedforward signals in ANC circuitry to detect user speech, avoiding the addition of extra hardware to the headset. Other embodiments also leverage the speech detection function to activate and deactivate keyword detectors, and/or sidetone circuits, thus extending battery.
