    Abstract: Techniques are described for managing states of an object using a finite-state machine. The states may be used to indicate whether an object has been added, removed, requested or updated. Embodiments of the invention generally include dividing a process into at least two threads where a first thread changes the state of the object while the second thread performs the processing of the data found in the object. While the second thread is processing the data, the first thread may receive additional updates and change the states of the objects to inform the second thread that it should process the additional updates when the second thread becomes idle.

    Abstract: Control system and method for controlling an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant are provided. The system may include a controller coupled to a dynamic model of the plant to process a prediction of plant performance and determine a control strategy for the IGCC plant over a time horizon subject to plant constraints. The control strategy may include control functionality to meet a tracking objective and control functionality to meet an optimization objective. The control strategy may be configured to prioritize the tracking objective over the optimization objective based on a coordinate transformation, such as an orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal projection. A plurality of plant control knobs may be set in accordance with the control strategy to generate a sequence of coordinated multivariable control inputs to meet the tracking objective and the optimization objective subject to the prioritization resulting from the coordinate transformation.

    Abstract: Adaptive model-based control systems and methods are described so that performance and/or operability of a gas turbine in an aircraft engine, power plant, marine propulsion, or industrial application can be optimized under normal, deteriorated, faulted, failed and/or damaged operation. First, a model of each relevant system or component is created, and the model is adapted to the engine. Then, if/when deterioration, a fault, a failure or some kind of damage to an engine component or system is detected, that information is input to the model-based control as changes to the model, constraints, objective function, or other control parameters. With all the information about the engine condition, and state and directives on the control goals in terms of an objective function and constraints, the control then solves an optimization so the optimal control action can be determined and taken. This model and control may be updated in real-time to account for engine-to-engine variation, deterioration, damage, faults and/or failures using optimal corrective control action command(s).

    Abstract: Boil dry conditions are detected in utensils heated on a cooking appliance having at least one energy source disposed under a cooking surface such as a glass-ceramic plate and a controller for controlling the level of power supplied to the energy source. The boil dry detection system includes a temperature sensor for providing a signal representative of the glass-ceramic temperature to the controller. The controller controls the power source in response to the temperature signal so as to prevent the glass-ceramic plate from exceeding a maximum temperature and provides a power signal that is indicative of the level of power being supplied to the energy source. The controller generates an estimate of the first and second derivatives with respect to time of either the temperature signal or the power signal, depending on its operating mode. The controller then produces the cross-correlation of the first and second derivative estimates and provides a boil dry indication when the cross-correlation exceeds a predetermined threshold. In one preferred embodiment, the portion of the controller that generates the derivative estimates is implemented as two Kalman filters.

    Abstract: Method, apparatus and system are described for converting received timestamps to a time-recording standard recognized by the receiving computing system. Embodiments of the invention generally include receiving data from an external device that includes a timestamp. If the received data is the first communication from the external device, creating a time base used for converting subsequently received timestamps to a recognized standard. Moreover, the system updates the time base if a counter failure at the external device is detected. When the external device transmits subsequent data, the time base is added to the subsequently received timestamps to convert the subsequent timestamps to a time-recording standard recognized by the computing system.
