System And Method For Occupancy Estimation And Monitoring

View page
US Patent:
20110213588, Sep 1, 2011
Filed:
Nov 7, 2008
Appl. No.:
13/126519
Inventors:
Yiqing Lin - Glastonbury CT, US
Stella M. Oggianu - Manchester CT, US
Amit Surana - East Hartford CT, US
Sean Meyn - Farmington CT, US
Igor I. Fedchenia - West Hartford CT, US
Assignee:
UTC FIRE & SECURITY - Farmington CT
International Classification:
G06F 17/18
G06F 15/00
US Classification:
702181, 702179, 702189
Abstract:
A system computes occupancy estimates based on one or more inputs, including sensor data from one or more sensor devices, constraints on allowable occupancy levels, and one or more utility functions. An occupancy estimator organizes the sensor data, the utility functions and an occupancy estimate into an objective function and executes a constrained optimization algorithm that computes the occupancy estimate, subject to the constraints, such that the objective function is minimized. The computed occupancy estimate is provided as an output by the system to one or more control and/or monitoring systems.

View page
US Patent:
20220300682, Sep 22, 2022
Filed:
Mar 18, 2021
Appl. No.:

Inventors:
- Longueuil, CA
Avisekh BANERJEE - Oakville, CA
Hongyu ZHU - West Hartford CT, US
Andrea DE ANTONI - Roma, IT
Amit SURANA - Newington CT, US
International Classification:
G06F 30/27
B64F 5/60
G06K 9/62
Abstract:
Methods and systems for assessing compliance of aircraft engines are described. The method comprises selecting a test population from a set of deployed aircraft engines based on one or more selection criteria, each of the deployed aircraft engines having associated thereto design requirements and field data; selecting at least one parameter that is present in both the design requirements and the field data of the test population, the design requirements comprising design time-series profiles, the field data comprising field time-series profiles; comparing the field time-series profiles to the design time-series profiles for the at least one parameter using a similarity metric to obtain field statistics; comparing the field statistics to expected statistics from the design requirements; and generating a compliance assessment output of the test population based on a difference between the field statistics and the expected statistics.

Powder Bed Fusion Monitoring

View page
US Patent:
20200384693, Dec 10, 2020
Filed:
Jun 5, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/893790
Inventors:
- Farmington CT, US
Eklou R. Hiheglo - Manchester CT, US
Rebecca L. Runkle - Manchester CT, US
Amit Surana - West Hartford CT, US
David W. Morganson - Marlborough CT, US
International Classification:
B29C 64/393
B29C 64/153
B22F 3/105
B33Y 10/00
B33Y 50/02
Abstract:
A method of monitoring an additive manufacturing build process includes first and second phases. The first phase includes depositing a powder layer onto a powder bed. A topographical profile of the powder bed is captured with a profilometer. An image of the powder bed is captured with a camera. The image and topographical profile are combined to create a data set that is transferred to a machine learning algorithm. A set of training data is generated and includes a set of deviations from a nominal model. The second phase includes depositing a powder layer onto the powder bed. An image of the powder bed is captured and compared to the set of training data. Deviations from the nominal model of the first powder bed are determined. Any deviations that are greater than a numerical threshold are labelled and identified as a defect which includes its type and severity.
