    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for predicting material properties in an Additive Manufacturing (AM) process is provided. The method comprises: receiving sensor data during the build of a metallic component using the AM process wherein the sensor data includes time-series temperature data of a surface of the metallic component recorded by a photodiode and time-series temperature data of a surface of the metallic component recorded by a pyrometer; receiving ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineering) model output data for building the component wherein the ICME model output data includes predicted melt pool dimensions time-series data, predicted melt temperature time-series data, and predicted defects forming as a result of melt pool evolution and movement; and estimating using the received sensor data and the received ICME model output data one or more material properties associated with the metallic component using a material property prediction module configured to predict one or more of the material properties.

    Abstract: A power line communication and real-time wiring fault location system includes a power distribution system, a plurality of solid-state power controllers, and a communication and fault location determination circuit. The power distribution system includes an upstream power feeder line and a plurality of load-end feeder lines. Each solid-state power controller is associated with a different one of the load-end feeder lines and is configured to selectively couple its associated load-end feeder line to the upstream power feeder line and detect an electrical fault on its associated load-end feeder line or in an electrical load to which the associated load-end feeder line is coupled. The communication and fault location determination circuit is coupled to each of the load-end feeder lines and is configured, in response to a channel selection command, to selectively transmit a fault location stimulation signal onto one of the load-end feeder lines.
