Title: Automated control of parameters of an industrial process from sensor data segmented at potential changepoints based upon models
Inventor: ALDRED WALTER
IPC: E21B44/00
Filed: 2010-04-08
Abstract: Control of at least one parameter of an industrial process is based upon an input data stream provided by at least one sensor to monitor operating conditions of the industrial process which may be subject to a change which can be controlled by the parameter. The stream of input data may be segmented according to a plurality of possible segmentations each of which includes a plurality of segments comprising a sequence of consecutive data items divided by one or more changepoints indicative of a change in operating conditions. A model is fitted to each segment, these models may be selected from a set of models and each possible segmentation with corresponding models may be evaluated to determine how well the model fits the input data items which may result in the assignment of a weight or probability to each possible segmentation. At least one, such as the best fit, of the possible segmentations and corresponding models are used to generate an output value which is used to control the parameter of the process. A goal based approach to automated control of parameters in an industrial process is also described.

Title: Boiler fuel supply shut off system
Inventor: MACPHAIL NICHOLAS JULIAN JAN FRANCIS
IPC: F17D5/02
Filed: 2010-11-22
Abstract: A fuel supply shut off system is provided with multiple sensors 6, 6a, 6b to detect hazards associated with a boiler 2 or other piped fuel supplied appliance. The system is adapted to sense oil and/or water leaks, fire and/or overheating, supply gas and/or carbon monoxide leaks, and incorrect pressure of a heating system. The sensors are linked, via a controller 7, in such a way that should any hazard(s) be detected by one or more of the sensors, a signal is passed via the controller to shut off the fuel supply, preferably using a dedicated shut off valve 1. Furthermore, the boiler/appliance may be disabled and/or an alarm signal may be generated. For installation simplicity in retrofit installations, an existing remote sensing fire valve activated by a temperature sensing phial (5, fig.2) may have its phial heated by a resistance heater (9, fig.2) actuated by the controller, so as to shut off the fuel supply without requiring an extra shut off valve in the fuel supply path. In use, the system is designed to improve boiler safety and draw a householderâ  s attention to hazards within a heating system boiler or other piped fuel supplied appliance.
