Latest Patents
One of Don Sit's latest patents is titled "Systems and methods for maintaining load histories." This invention discloses methods and systems for constructing a load history database for a structure. In one embodiment, the method includes detecting a measurable parameter on the structure using a sensor positioned on it. The invention determines the value of external loads acting upon the structure based on the detected parameter. Furthermore, the method evaluates the value of the external loads against a pre-established factor. Based on this evaluation, the value of the external loads is selectively stored in the load history database.
Another notable patent is "Classifying a work machine operation." This method analyzes the use of a work machine by providing a computer with a neural network on the work machine. The method includes inputting data to the computer, with at least a portion of the data associated with a load experienced by one of the components of the work machine. The neural network, when executed by the computer, classifies the current operation of the work machine into one of several types of operations.
