Granted: 2016-10-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for diagnosing faults in a monitored system that is monitored by sensors. An empirical model is generated for a targeted component of the monitored system. The empirical model is trained with an historical data source that contains example observations of the sensors. Substantially real-time estimates are generated based on instrumented data corresponding to the targeted component. The substantially real-time estimates are compared and differenced with instrumented readings from the sensors to provide residual values. The residual values are analyzed to detect the faults and determine a location of the faults in the monitored system.

Abstract: The present invention provides an air cleaner (2) suitable for forced air open- ventilation systems used to cool electrical machines (1). The air cleaner (2) comprises an air chamber (12) with a first end where air is drawn in from the surroundings, via an inlet (16), by the open- ventilation system and a second end, opposite the first end, where air is drawn out of the air chamber (12), via a first outlet (18), by the open- ventilation system. A rotating means (14) is contained within the air chamber (12) and may be driven to rotate about an axis (22) that extends between the first end and the second end of the chamber (12). When driven to rotate, the rotating means (14) applies a centrifugal force to any particles contained in the air entering the air chamber (12) and throws them radially outwards from the central axis (22). These particles are then drawn out of the air chamber (12), via at least one second outlet (20) formed adjacent to a radially outer edge of the rotating means (14), by a high- velocity outlet stream of the open- ventilation system.

Abstract: A flexible infrared delivery apparatus useful for endoscopic infrared coagulating of human or animal blood and tissue or for other uses employs a source of infrared radiation which is not a laser and an elongated flexible fiber optic member which transmits radiation from the source to a contact portion at a distal end of the member and to a target material proximate the contact portion. The elongated member has an outer diameter which enables it to be inserted into and through an accessory channel of an endoscope to view the human or animal tissue or material to be treated with infrared radiation. The elongated member can be quickly connected to and disconnected from the apparatus where the member is aligned for receiving infrared radiation from the source. The contact portion defines a size, direction and shape of a radiation delivery area from the member.

Abstract: A portable navigation module and its method of operation are disclosed for seamlessly providing navigation and positioning information to a user. The module comprises: means, such as a GPS receiver, for receiving a first set of navigational information from an external source, such as satellites; and an inertial sensor unit for generating a second set of navigational information at the module. The navigational information is used by a processor programmed with a core algorithm, to identify the mode of conveyance algorithm and an orientation or misalignment algorithm. The algorithm utilizes the navigational information, aided by the mode of conveyance information and the orientation information, to produce a filtered navigation solution (which comprises position, velocity and attitude). The solution is suitably displayed, preferably on a detachable display unit. The system has the following attributes: the solution is produced seamlessly, even if one source of navigational information is temporarily out of service; the accuracy of the solution is assisted by use of the mode of conveyance and orientation information; and there is no requirement for the module to be permanently aligned with the direction of movement of the conveyance platform.

Abstract: Systems and methods that enable a network to configure its neighbor relation (e.g., automatically) by commanding each user equipment (UE) to scan its respective area for neighbor base stations on a predetermined frequency or radio access technology. Moreover, the network can compile lists (e.g., whitelists that identify base stations associated with the network, and black lists that indicate base stations associated with foreign networks) and advise the UEs accordingly (e.g., regarding possibilities for availability of base stations.) The network can therefore configure its neighbor relations automatically and with a higher precision as compared to manual configurations.

IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2009-03-16
Granted: 2014-04-29
Abstract: A method of imaging the Earth's subsurface using passive seismic emissions includes detecting seismic signals originating from within the Earth's subsurface over a selected time period using an array of seismic sensors deployed proximate the Earth's surface. Hypocenters of seismic events in the subsurface are determined from the detected signals. Seismic signals detected at selected ones of the seismic sensors are cross-correlated to signals detected at other selected ones of the seismic sensors.  The cross-correlated signals are processed to obtain a reflectivity series at a geodetic position of the selected one of the seismic sensors. A spatial distribution of at least one seismic property in the subsurface is determined using the determined hypocenters and the reflectivity series.
