Abstract: A flexible device mounting kit allows to securely attach a sensor or another device to an arbitrary surface, including a surface that is very uneven. The kit includes a scaffolding assembly which includes a scaffolding guide and scaffolding teeth attached to the guide in a way that allows some of the teeth to move relative to the guide when the bottom of the teeth is pressed against uneven surface. When the assembly is pressed against the surface, the positions of the teeth adjust, forming, together with the surface, a cavity into which a gluing compound can be filled. A device mount to which a sensor (or another device) can be attached is pressed into the gluing compound before the gluing compound solidifies. As the gluing compound securely connects the sensor mount to the surface, the device can be securely placed within the mount regardless of how uneven the surface is.

Abstract: A system determines that an asset of an engineering system has transitioned from a quasi-steady degradation stage to an accelerated degradation phase based on sensor measurements received from an asset. During the accelerated degradation phase, features are extracted from the sensor measurements that are indicative of wear of the asset. A conformal mathematical filter is applied to the features that causes the features to conform to a wear curve formulation associated with the asset. An output of the filter is resampled to form a noise-reduced signal. The noise-reduced signal is input into a sequence machine learning model. A loss function of the sequence machine learning model uses an increased penalty to overprediction and a relaxed penalty for underprediction. An output of the sequence machine learning model is used to predict a remaining useful life (RUL) of the asset.

Abstract: Condition-monitoring data of an engineering system is received at a computing system. The condition-monitoring data is input to a hybrid model that includes a machine learning model empowered with physics-informed transfer functions on the computing system. The machine learning model outputting a prediction of health variables of the engineering system as intermediate variables. These variables are transformed via mathematically parametrized transfer functions on the computing system. A remaining useful life of the engineering system is estimated based on the transformation outputs. The remaining useful life is used to perform a remedial action on the engineering system.

Abstract: A transferable hybrid method for prognostics of engineering systems based on fundamental degradation modes is provided. The method includes developing a degradation model that represents degradation modes shared in different domains of application through the integration of physics and machine learning. The system measures sensor signals and data processing provides for extracting health indicators correlated with the fundamental degradation modes from sensors data. For the integration of physics and machine learning, the degradation mode is separated into different phases. Before the accelerated degradation phase of a system, the method is looking out to detect when the accelerated phase begins. When accelerated phase is active, the system applies a machine-learning model to provide information on the accelerated degradation phase, and evolves the degradation towards a failure threshold in a simulation of the updated physics-based model to predict the degradation progression. The system estimates the remaining useful life of the target system.
