Title: Minglong Yang: Inventor in Concrete Dam Monitoring

Introduction

Minglong Yang is an inventor associated with Kunming City, China. His work includes a patent application focused on monitoring key parts of concrete dams and detecting anomalies in their operation. The supplied career information also connects him with Huaneng Lancang River Hydropower Inc. and Hohai University.

Latest Patents

Yang’s listed patent is “Partition Monitoring Method and Model for Concrete Dam Operation Key Part.” The method uses time-frequency vectors extracted from monitoring data to divide key parts of a concrete dam into partitions. It then organizes time-series measurements from different monitoring instruments into a graph structure, capturing relationships across both time and variables.

The approach uses a graph attention network to learn these relationships and produce feature representations of the measurements. Anomaly scores are calculated from those representations to identify unusual behavior. By comparing readings from multiple instruments and measuring points, the method aims to support mutual verification and reflect the dam’s structural integrity and spatial distribution. Yang is credited with 1 patent in the information provided.
