CPC Class H04W

A method for closed-loop control of a chemical process may involve acquiring process data with sensors, transferring the process data to a control system via a fieldbus, transferring a subset of the process data to a computer system that includes a simulation program for stationary and dynamic process simulation of the chemical process, a closed-loop control program for implementing a closed-loop controller, and a memory for storing simulated state variables, cyclically repeatedly calculating and storing the simulated state variables of the chemical process by the simulation program from the subset of the process data, transferring a setpoint value of a control variable of the chemical process to the closed-loop control program, reading a subset of the simulated state variables for input into the closed-loop control program, ascertaining a manipulated variable to achieve the setpoint value by the closed-loop control program, and transferring the calculated manipulated variable to the control system.

A system capable of communicating with a terminal includes a processor and a transmitter. The processor is configured to generate a first control signal including a first target position to operate at least part of the terminal and generate a second control signal including a second target position to operate at least part of the terminal after an operation of the at least part of the terminal in accordance with the first target position. The transmitter is configured to transmit the first control signal to the terminal at a first timing and transmit the second control signal to the terminal at a second timing after the first timing. The first target position is farther than a position which the at least part of the terminal is to reach at the second timing.

Various embodiments include a control device for setting up and/or providing a working environment with at least one performance unit to perform at least one factory task by means of machines comprising: a resource management unit programmed to request resources necessary for the working environment; and a comparison unit programmed to compare the requested resources with at least one resource agreed upon in a binding agreement stored in a distributed database and to approve the requested resource in dependence on the comparison result. The control device is programmed to set up and/or provide the working environment with at least one compared and approved resource. The at least one performance unit is programmed to coordinate the checking for complete factory task performance by one or more units involved in the working environment.

Technologies and techniques for the at least the partially automated driving of a motor vehicle. A first application and at least one redundant second application provide output data depending on motor vehicle operating data and/or environmental data. Vehicle driving data for the at least partially automated driving of the motor vehicle are determined depending on the output data. Vehicle operating data from another vehicle are received, and, depending on the vehicle operating data, the at least one redundant second application switches from an active state to a standby state in which a computer instance of a computer unit used by the at least one redundant second application is at least executed at a lower frequency than in the active state.

A belt wearable by a human subject includes a variety of sensors that collect information about the wearer, the wearer's environment, and the wearer's movements. A communication interface on the belt allows sensor data collected by the belt to be transferred to a storage server. In some examples, the communication interface is a Wi-Fi interface, a cellular interface, or a removable memory interface. The data is processed to identify activities performed by the wearer such as walking, driving, and working at heights. In some examples, events such as aggressive driving events, slips and falls, and unsafe lifting are detected. In some examples, this information is used to generate reports that allow an employer to manage the productivity and safety of a workforce.

Embodiments herein describe a mechanism that puts all the wake sources except a master wake source in low power state (e.g., sleep state) to reduce the overall sleep state power consumption. A Bluetooth Low Energy (BT LE) device is used as master wake source, which scans the presence of a user, and if the user (e.g., mobile device with specific media access control (MAC) address) is in the vicinity or approaching towards the system, the wake sources and memory are made active again. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

According to some embodiments, a system, method and non-transitory computer-readable medium are provided to protect a cyber-physical system having a plurality of monitoring nodes comprising: a normal space data source storing, for each of the plurality of monitoring nodes, a series of normal monitoring node values over time that represent normal operation of the cyber-physical system; a situational awareness module including an abnormal data generation platform, wherein the abnormal data generation platform is operative to generate abnormal data to represent abnormal operation of the cyber-physical system using values in the normal space data source and a generative model; a memory for storing program instructions; and a situational awareness processor, coupled to the memory, and in communication with the situational awareness module and operative to execute the program instructions to: receive a data signal, wherein the received data signal is an aggregation of data signals received from one or more of the plurality of monitoring nodes, wherein the data signal includes at least one real-time stream of data source signal values that represent a current operation of the cyber-physical system; determine, via a trained classifier, whether the received data signal is a normal signal or an abnormal signal, wherein the trained classifier is trained with the generated abnormal data and normal data; localize an origin of an anomaly when it is determined the received data signal is the abnormal signal; receive the determination and localization at a resilient estimator module; execute the resilient estimator module to generate a state estimation for the cyber-physical system. Numerous other aspects are provided.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for low-latency provision of content. The method includes receiving one or more signals indicating a current location of a client device; before receiving an input query from a map application of the client device, retrieving characteristics of the client device; and generating a set of identifications, the set of identifications including the current location of the client device, and the characteristics of the client device. The method further includes determining that a query prediction exceeds a threshold; responsive to the determination that the query prediction exceeds the threshold, selecting a link to a geographic location of an entity that is associated with the query prediction; and, responsive to a selection of a map application on the client device by a user, transmitting the selected link to the client device before receiving a query from the user of the client device.
