Title: Determining timing for lubricating fluid change
Inventor: WOLFGANG HARTMUT NITSCHE
IPC: G01N23/207
Filed: 2016-09-20
Abstract: A method for determining when to change a lubricating fluid flowing within an apparatus includes monitoring the lubricating fluid flowing within the apparatus by passing radiation through the lubricating fluid from a radiation source. The lubricating fluid is analyzed for a presence of particles in the lubricating fluid based on the radiation passing through the lubricating fluid. A concentration of the particles in the lubricating fluid is determined when the presence of particles is detected. An alert to change the lubricating fluid is generated when the concentration of particles in the lubricating fluid exceeds a threshold.

IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 2020-02-04
Abstract: A method of and system for classifying pressure inputs in a sensing array, in which the sensing array comprises a plurality of sensing elements responsive to pressure inputs. A plurality of pressure inputs to the sensing array are identified and the pressure inputs are converted into an output image 601. The output image is compared with a data set comprising a plurality of images 701 of undesirable pressure inputs by means of an artificial neural network, preferably a convolutional neural network. A mask 705 is applied which is consistent with the output image to remove undesirable pressure inputs. The sensing array may be operable to provide two-dimensional positional data and extent data related to the applied pressure. The image may be a greyscale image, with low-pressure inputs designated black and high-pressure inputs designated white 603. The data set is created from images comprising undesired inputs. The mask may have a depth of one bit and be created by the identification of undesirable pressure inputs from images in the data set. The invention can be used with a touchscreen in an electronic device. Pressure inputs caused by a user’s hand during stylus use can be removed from input processes.
