The present invention provides a processing apparatus (10) including a first determination unit (11) that determines whether a target apparatus is normal or abnormal on the basis of detection data of a first sensor, and a second determination unit (12) that, in a case where the determination of normal or abnormal is impossible based on the detection data of the first sensor, starts a second sensor and determines whether the target apparatus is normal or abnormal on the basis of detection data of the second sensor.

The present invention provides a lawn mower comprising a battery system, a walking system and a cutter system. The lawn mower further comprises: a fault detection module, configured to detect if at least one of the battery system, walking system and cutter system has a fault; a fault determination module, configured to judge the fault level of the detected fault; and a control module, to control the current-limiting or outage of the corresponding battery system, the slowdown or stop of the walking system, as well as the slowdown or stop of the cutter system according to the fault level; compared with the prior art, the invention not only makes the fault detection more intelligent, but also the lawn mower can adjust the working state in real time according to the fault level, thereby improving the working efficiency.

A plant maintenance assisting system is provided with: an abnormality indication monitoring system; an abnormality diagnosis system; a maintenance plan creation system; a risk evaluation system; and a component management system. On the basis of risk information and abnormality diagnosis information that is a result of diagnosis by the abnormality diagnosis system, the risk evaluation system determines the need for maintenance work with respect to an abnormality indicating facility. In a case where it is determined that maintenance work with respect to the abnormality indicating facility is necessary, the maintenance plan creation system sets, in a maintenance plan, maintenance implementation timing of maintenance work with respect to a facility including the abnormality indicating facility. On the basis of component management information, the component management system determines whether a component can be procured at the maintenance implementation timing set by the maintenance plan creation system.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods disclosed provide for tailoring responses to fault data generated during a service event. A method includes determining that a service event for a vehicle has started based on an indication from an off-board diagnostic service tool, interrupting transmission of a fault message during a time period after the service event for the vehicle has started and before the service event for the vehicle has ended, and determining that the service event for the vehicle has ended.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive, via the processor, a characteristic of data to be collected from an operational technology (OT) device disposed within an OT network associated with an industrial automation system configured to perform an industrial automation process, determine, via the processor, that the characteristic exceeds a threshold value, and deploy, via the processor, in response to determining that the characteristic exceeds the threshold value, a container to a compute surface within the OT network that is disposed within a threshold distance of the OT device. The container is configured to receive the data from the OT device and process the received data.

A method of managing virtual storage systems, the method comprising creating a virtual storage system, the virtual storage system including a virtual drive layer that includes a plurality of virtual drives and virtual drive logic configured to manage processing of I/O operations in the virtual storage system; and a backend storage layer including one or more storage devices that include at least one storage device for which one or more performance specifications are defined by a cloud storage service provider; and adjusting at least one component of the virtual storage system.

A monitoring control apparatus includes: a display controller to display an alarm screen for notifying a plurality of abnormalities occurring in a monitoring target device provided in an electric power system; a selector to select a first abnormality among the plurality of abnormalities; a degree-of-association calculator to calculate, for each of one or more other abnormalities except for the first abnormality among the plurality of abnormalities, a degree of association of the other abnormality with the first abnormality; and an extractor to extract the other abnormality as an associated abnormality associated with the first abnormality when the degree of association of the other abnormality is not less than a threshold. The alarm screen includes an associated alarm for notification of the extracted associated abnormality.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods disclosed provide for tailoring response to fault data generated during a service event. The method comprises determining fault data for a vehicle continually, determining that a service event for the vehicle has started, interrupting transmission of fault message during a time period after the service event for the vehicle has started and before the service event for the vehicle has ended, and determining that the service event for the vehicle has ended.

An apparatus is described herein related to remote monitoring of perishable trade items in environmentally-controlled storage containers. Relevant changes in the container environment are detected through various sensors-based event detectors. A timer serves to trigger a plurality of distinct alert states, comprising pre-alerts and full alerts, following an event-initiated time threshold expiry. A data repository of generic merchandise data is accessed in order to derive suitable timer pre-sets in relation to time thresholds for alert states. An account configuration engine serves to customize the threshold presets to the specific items stored inside the container.

A medical device is configured to monitor, using one or more sensors, an environmental condition of a physical environment proximate to a medical device, and to determine when a value representative of the environmental condition exceeds a threshold for safe operation of the medical device with regard to care of a patient. Responsive to the value exceeding the threshold, an operation mode of the medical device is automatically switched from a first mode currently programmed for the care of the patient to a second mode, the second mode using different parameters than the first mode to control the medical device.
