International Classification:

H02H 305

US Classification:

714 48, 709207

Abstract:

A method and system for managing communication of electronic data between a diagnostic service center and a plurality of machines generally remote relative to each other is provided. The electronic data is made up of respective machine data from selected machines. The machine data is used for detecting the presence of respective malfunctions which, if left uncorrected, would likely result in respective mission failures of the selected machines. The method allows for storing in a database a list of respective cases to be processed. The method further allows for assigning to each case a respective download priority. A determining step allows for determining each case to be populated next with new machine data based at least upon the assigned download priority. Respective executing steps allow for executing a download of the new machine data, and for executing predetermined analysis on the downloaded data for detecting the presence of respective malfunctions in the selected machines.

US Classification:

7071041, 707 1

Abstract:

A method and system for managing communication of electronic data between a diagnostic service center and a plurality of mobile assets () generally remote relative to each other is provided. The electronic data comprises at least respective mobile asset data indicative of respective performance of the plurality of mobile assets. The mobile asset data used for detecting the presence of potential malfunctions which, if left uncorrected, would likely result in respective mission failures of the assets. The method allows for storing in a database () a list of respective cases to be processed. The method further allows for assigning to each case a respective download priority. A determining action allows for determining each case to be populated next with new mobile asset data based upon the assigned download priority. Respective executing actions allow for executing a download of the new mobile asset data between the diagnostic service center and a respective one of the mobile assets, and for executing predetermined analysis on the downloaded data for detecting the presence of respective potential malfunctions in the mobile assets. The download of data may be executed automatically whenever critical faults occur in the mobile assets.

Assignee:

General Electric Company

International Classification:

G06F019/00

US Classification:

701/019000, 701/033000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for determining whether a railroad locomotive is configured with the correct software versions. The version numbers for software on board the vehicle are periodically determined by an on-board monitoring system. This information is later transmitted to a remote monitoring and diagnostic center, where the actual software version numbers are compared to the expected software versions. If there is a mismatch, personnel at the remote monitoring and diagnostic center are alerted to resolve the mismatch.

International Classification:

G06F015/00

US Classification:

702/183000

Abstract:

An analysis scheduler for scheduling the automatic processing of performance data through a plurality of analysis tools is disclosed. Performance data provided to some of the tools by the analysis scheduler may be specified to be within a predetermined (but variable) look-back period. The analysis tools identify faults and anomalous conditions and also create repair recommendations, and automatically create problem cases when conditions warrant, or update existing problem cases with additional data, all under control of the analysis scheduler. The problem cases are reviewed by a human user and then forwarded to the railroad for implementation.

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 3/06
G06F 11/10

Abstract:

Initialization of a memory can have different phases, first initializing a portion of memory for BIOS (basic input/output system) and initializing other portions of memory while the BIOS is operating. The initialization of the memory can be performed by the error scrub engine. In a first mode of operation, the scrub engine can initialize memory locations, then transition to performing scrub operations.

Appl. No.:

16/529700

Inventors:

- Santa Clara CA, US
John V. LOVELACE - Driftwood TX, US
John R. GOLES - Folsom CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 13/16
G06F 1/10

Abstract:

A method performed by a memory chip is described. The method includes receiving an activated chip select signal. The method also includes receiving, with the chip select signal being activated, a command code on a command/address (CA) bus that identifies a next portion of an identifier for the memory chip. The method also includes receiving the next portion of the identifier on a portion of the memory chip's data inputs. The method also includes repeating the receiving of the activated chip select signal, the command code and the next portion until the entire identifier has been received and storing the entire identifier in a register.
