20120167665 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING AND DETECTING FAULTS IN A CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM - The disclosure provides a method, system and internal combustion engine system in which a closed-loop system having a controllable variable is monitored to detect the off-nominal behavior of the closed-loop system and raise an alarm or other alerting mechanism when fault is detected. The faults in a closed-loop system show up in such a way that the tracking error signal is impacted and this impact manifests itself as a change in the frequency components. A filter is used to isolate a band of frequency components of the tracking error signal that are more impacted than other by deviation caused by a fault to be detected. The filter can be designed to effectively amplify the section of the error tracking signal that contains the frequency components that have the major impact. In addition, the filter will also have the characteristics to attenuate the impact of other frequency components. An accumulated error signal is generated from the filtered tracking error signal, compared with a predetermined fault threshold characteristic, and a fault indication/warning/alert is provided for the closed-loop system if the accumulated error signal meets the predetermined threshold. | 07-05-2012 |

20140231734 | MARINE BARRIER GATE - A marine barrier gate includes a pleated row of buoyant panels movable between an expanded position where the panels have an angle therebetween, and a retracted position where the panels are substantially parallel. A first buoy is attached to a first end of the panel row, and a second buoy is remote from the panels when the panels are in the retracted position. The second buoy has a tow winch and cable attached to a second end opposite the first end, for moving the panels from the retracted position to the expanded position. The first buoy comprises a catenary winch and cable movably engagable with the panels and attached to the second buoy. When the panels are in the retracted position, the catenary winch sets a length or tension of the catenary cable such that it absorbs catenary loads on the barrier when the panels are moved to the expanded position by the tow winch. | 08-21-2014 |
