Virtual continuous emission monitoring system with sensor validation
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous emission monitoring system for a manufacturing plant (10) includes a control system (16) which has associated therewith a virtual sensor network (18), which is a predictive network that receives as inputs both control values to the plant and also sensor values.
Patent
Virtual emissions monitor for automobile and associated control system
TL;DR: In this paper, a predictive model processor (322) is provided that utilizes model parameters stored in the memory (324) to predict from the sensor inputs a predicted emissions output, which can be used to provide an alarm or to be stored in a history database in a memory.
Patent
Residual activation neural network
TL;DR: In this paper, a control network (74) is provided that accurately models the plant (72), and the output of the control network provides a predicted output which is combined with a desired output to generate an error.
Patent
Virtual continuous emission monitoring system
TL;DR: In this paper, a virtual sensor network (VSN) is used to map the inputs through a stored representation of the plant (10) to output a predicted pollutant sensor level.
Patent
Method for operating a neural network with missing and/or incomplete data
TL;DR: In this paper, a neural network system is provided that models the system in a system model with the output thereof providing a predicted output, which is modified or controlled by an output control.
