摘要:
The present invention provides a computer implemented method for maintaining a knowledge base. The method taking as input, text examples that are tagged with a structural markup language; and maps knowledge nodes in the knowledge base with the tagged examples to determine: (1) the knowledge nodes that best match the tagged examples, and (2) the knowledge nodes that are best connected to the tagged examples. The results are displayed to the user, who verifies that the tagged examples match the selected knowledge nodes. Based on the user response, indices of the knowledge nodes are updated. The method may further include determining discrepancies between the existing knowledge base and the tagged examples, and further displaying the discrepancies to the user. The user can update the missing information in the knowledge base to remove the discrepancies in the existing knowledge base.
摘要:
A method for diagnosing faults in a particular device within a fleet of devices is provided. The method comprises receiving performance data related to one or more parameters associated with a fleet of devices and processing the performance data to detect one or more trend shifts in the one or more parameters. The method then comprises detrending the one or more parameters to derive noise-adjusted performance data related to a particular parameter associated with a particular device. The method further comprises generating a fleet-based diagnostic model based on trend patterns and data characteristics associated with the fleet of devices. The fleet-based diagnostic model comprises one or more fuzzy rules defining one or more expected trend shift data ranges for the one or more parameters associated with the fleet of devices. The method then comprises computing one or more scaling factors for the particular parameter associated with the particular device and scaling the one or more of fuzzy rules defined for the one or more parameters in the fleet-based diagnostic model, based on the one or more scaling factors, to generate a personalized diagnostic model for the particular parameter associated with the particular device. The method finally comprises evaluating the personalized diagnostic model against the one or more trend shifts detected for the one or more parameters, to diagnose a fault associated with the particular device.

摘要:
A system for monitoring physiology, having: a RADAR transmitter and a RADAR receiver; a state estimation module configured to process a returned RADAR signal to detect a presence of motion and set a motion state upon said presence of motion, said state estimation module configured to detect a presence of one or more physiological parameters including heartbeat and respiration, and said state estimation module configured to assign a still state or a concern state based on said presence of physiological parameters; a rate estimation module configured to estimate one or more estimated physiological rates including an estimated respiration rate and an estimated heart rate; and an alerting module configured to provide an alert if an alert value exceeds an alert value threshold, wherein the alert value is derived from at least one of the motion state, concern state, still state and the estimated physiological rates.
摘要:
A technique is disclosed for evaluating and monitoring performance of a heat exchanger system. Operating parameters of the system are monitored and fouling factors for heat transfer surfaces of the exchanger are determined. Trending of fouling may be performed over time based upon the fouling factors, and a model of fouling may be selected from known sets of models, or a model may be developed or refined. Fluid treatment, such as water treatment regimes may be taken into account in evaluation of fouling. An automated knowledge based analysis algorithm may diagnose possible caused of fouling based upon sensed and observed parameters and conditions. Corrective actions may be suggested and the system controlled to reduce, avoid or correct for detected fouling.
