A building system includes one or more storage devices having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive an unstructured user question from a user device of a user and query a graph database based on the unstructured user question to extract context associated with the unstructured user question from contextual information of a building stored by the graph database, wherein the graph database stores the contextual information of the building through nodes and edges between the nodes, wherein the nodes represent equipment, spaces, people, and events associated building and the edges represent relationships between the equipment, spaces, people, and events. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to retrieve data from one or more data sources based on the context and compose a presentation based on the retrieved data.

A method for determining oscillations occurring in a measuring signal. The method includes the steps of receiving a measuring signal, determining the extreme values of the received measuring signal, and ascertaining closed loops of the measuring signal, by a) identifying a closed loop in the measuring signal (a closed loop being formed by two half loops having identical oscillation width and opposite direction, b) storing the identified closed loop, c) removing the identified closed loop from the measuring signal, and d) repeating steps a) through c) until all closed loops have been ascertained.

The present invention discloses an improved model-free adaptive control method, in particular to an improved method for a compact dynamic linearization model-free adaptive control based on MIMO systems, and belongs to the field of control algorithm design. Firstly, proportional control is added in CFDL-MFAC to improve the problems of low response speed and large overshoot in the original control system. Secondly, an anti-windup control algorithm of an actuator is added in the above control structure so that the actuator does not conduct transfinite operation when reaching the upper or lower saturation limit and the actuator can quickly make a control response when a control instruction enters an unsaturated region again to improve the control accuracy of the system. Then, it is proved through strict analysis that the improved control algorithm can ensure tracking error and BIBO stability under certain conditions. Finally, the above control algorithm is applied to an aero-engine control system, and the effectiveness and superiority of the above control algorithm can be obtained by numerical experiments.
