Title: Fault detection for appliances based on energy consumption data
Inventor: MIROSLAV HAMOUZ
IPC: G01R31/56
Filed: 2019-12-20
Abstract: A fault in a device such as a HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) unit is detected by 700 receiving an energy consumption signal for the device and 702 calculating the correlation between this and one or more basis functions indicative of a fault. Parameters such as the width W or shape ϴ of the basis function may be varied and correlation intensity computed 704. A correlation intensity above a threshold indicates the presence of the fault characterised by that basis function. The energy consumption may be measured at different times and the basis function may be time windowed. An alert may be generated based on the fault or the appliance may be deactivated or changed to a different operating state. The computation may be performed remotely from the appliance, with consumption data provided by e.g. a current clamp.

Title: Advanced electrolytic storage and recovery of hydrogen
Inventor: RODOLFO ANTONIO GOMEZ
IPC: H01M8/22
Filed: 2018-07-11
Abstract: An apparatus for storing hydrogen as protons and electrons separately. The apparatus comprises a DC power supply; a proton generation and hydrogen recovery unit comprising a hydrogen tank adapted to contain hydrogen gas under pressure and in contact with one or more electrodes contained in the tank, the one or more electrodes in electrical connection with the DC power supply; and an electron storage unit for storing electrons, the electron storage unit in electrical connection with the DC power supply and separated from the proton generation and hydrogen recovery unit. In a proton generation mode the DC power supply is configured to catalyze oxidation of pressurized hydrogen in the hydrogen tank at the one or more electrodes to form and store protons on or near the one or more electrodes in the hydrogen tank and store generated electrons in the electron storage unit. In a hydrogen recovery mode the hydrogen protons on the one or more electrodes are converted to hydrogen under vacuum by recovering the electrons from the capacitor and adding these to the hydrogen protons, under condition for the hydrogen to leave a surface of the one or more electrodes as soon as it is formed and exits the hydrogen tank.
