AGRICULTURAL SYSTEM CONTROL AND FEEDBACK LOOP
Agricultural systems have increased in complexity to allow farmers to control the environmental factors impacting a crop. By analyzing data from a plurality, and preferably a large number, of operations, a particular objective for a particular plan may be developed for a particular crop. The equipment at a particular site may then monitor the crop and be controlled by a device, such as an on-site hub, to operate equipment in a manner associated with the particular plan and objective.
System and method for providing interlinked user interfaces corresponding to safety logic of a process control system
A system and method for enabling access to information included in a safety requirement specification (SRS) for a process plant, the process plant controlled by a process control system including displaying, in a user interface, a cause and effect matrix (CEM) having a set of elements including a set of causes and a set of effects, wherein each of the set of causes represents a condition within the process plant and each of the set of effects represents an effect to be performed within the process plant, and wherein at least some of the set of causes and the set of effects are related as cause-effect pairs whereby the corresponding effect activates in response to an occurrence of the corresponding condition. The system and method further including receiving, via the user interface, a selection of an element of the set of elements, and, in response to receiving the selection: (i) accessing, from the SRS, a set of information associated with the element of the set of elements, and (ii) displaying the set of information in the user interface.
CO2 Monitoring Smart Facemask Assembly
An article of manufacture for providing a CO.sub.2 monitoring smart facemask assembly according to the present invention includes_a CO.sub.2 sensor component having a CO.sub.2 sensor, a serial data connection, and a power connection, a set of connecting wires, and_a controller unit coupled to the CO.sub.2 sensor component by the set of connecting wires. The controller unit includes a programmable microcontroller, the programmable microcontroller receives a measure of a current CO2 value from the CO.sub.2 sensor component, a battery, one or more visual alarm devices; and_an auditory alarm device and an alarm reset button 207. The microcontroller activates the one or more visual alarm devices and the auditory alarm devices when the current CO.sub.2 value is greater than a pre-defined threshold. This warning will ensure safety of the user and an option to shut the alarm off, thereby after the warning has been acknowledged. The one or more visual alarm devices include one or more LEDs and a display device. The display device shows an alpha-numeric representation of the current CO.sub.2 value measured by the CO.sub.2 sensor component.
Water management, metering, leak detection, water analytics and remote shutoff system
A water management system effective for managing and metering water usage and detecting and reducing water leaks is described herein. The water management system can detect a leak when a volume of water flow or change in water pressure detected by a water meter of the system is uncharacteristic for a given day and time of day at the node. Upon detecting the leak, the system alerts the user, and in some situations, remotely shuts off a water supply to preemptively address a water leakage issue.
MODULAR AUTOMATED FOOD PREPARATION SYSTEM
An integrated front-of-house and back-of-house restaurant operations system integrates automated and manual restaurant operations into an order-based system. The system interfaces with disparate devices and systems to provide order-based monitoring and control of operations within an establishment.
VALIDATING OPERATOR SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
An opt-in from at least one user of a plurality of users associated with at least one tool of a plurality of tools is received. An authentication associated with a first opted-in user of the plurality of users associated with an access of a first tool of the plurality of tools is determined. A set of credentials required to operate the first tool associated with the first opted-in user is verified. A request to an Internet of things (IoT) receiver device is transmitted. A response from an IoT transmitter device is received. In response to determining that the first user is utilizing required equipment to operate the first tool, power to the first tool is supplied.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HYBRID DRIVE CONTROL FOR AN ELECTRIC MOTOR
A health monitor circuit for an electric machine is described. The health monitor circuit includes at least one sensor configured to measure a parameter of the electric machine, a communication interface, and a microprocessor coupled to the at least one sensor, the communication interface, and a memory. The microprocessor is configured to periodically collect time samples of the parameter measured by the at least one sensor, transmit factors of the time samples to the memory, and perform a high resolution fast-Fourier transform (FFT) on the factors. The microprocessor is also configured to extrapolate results of the high resolution FFT to a produce a high resolution frequency domain waveform, filter the high resolution frequency domain waveform by a parameter, and transmit, via the communication interface, the filtered frequency domain waveform to a remote system for further processing.
