    摘要: There is provided a data transmission and compression method arranged to compress and transmit data between an edge device and a remote server. The method comprises collecting data at the edge device, wherein the data is attributed to a plurality of signal signatures; generating a data matrix at the edge device; transforming the data matrix, wherein transforming the data comprises using a wavelet transform; compressing the data, wherein compressing the data comprises utilising an autoencoder; and transmitting the encoded compressed data to the remote server via a communication channel. The method further comprises, at the remote server, decompressing the data utilising an autoencoder; reconstructing the signal signatures using an inverse wavelet transform; and storing the reconstructed data signatures in a datastore on the remote server.

    摘要: A method of detecting states of an electrical load from an electrical signal. This involves first providing a mathematical model for the electrical signal. A sliding window can then be used to es-timate parameters of the model. In doing this, a plurality of windows are determined for the electrical signal, a window function is applied for each of the windows, and parameters of the model are determined by interpola-tion. The waveform can then be reconstructed from the determined para-meters and subtracted from the reconstructed waveform from the original signal to obtain a residual. State transitions can then be determined where a difference between the reconstructed waveform and the original signal exceeds a threshold. States are detected and determined as existing for the time period between successive state transitions. Methods of monitoring an electrical system using this approach are also described, as are electrical devices adapted to perform such methods.

    摘要: Methods of detecting and characterising a noise event are described, together with apparatus adapted to perform such methods. A method of characterising a noise event, involves locating microphones in an environment and generating a training event at a location in the environment as a reference for a noise event. A sound sample is recorded at each microphone and phase differences between the sound samples are used to establish a noise event signature for an event at that location. A noise event may subsequently be identified by taking sound samples from the microphones associated with the noise event and using phase differences between them to identify the noise event by matching against noise event signatures. A computing system adapted to perform such methods is also described.
