Inventors:  Genders: F=0, M=2
Abstract:
2000 char max
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for predicting the water quality within a geographic area based on hydrology data, contaminant data, and/or weather data using Artificial Intelligence (AI). The system can receive hydrology data for a predefined geographic region and real-time sensor data associated with water quality within the predefined geographic region. The system can then initiate a serverless AI algorithm using the hydrology data and the real-time sensor data, then receive output of the algorithm including an initial water quality score. The system can then adjust the initial water quality score based on contaminants within the predefined geographic region and transmit the resulting water quality index score to a mobile computing device.

Counsel:  Firm: The Plus IP Firm, PLLC
1st Invent:  James Richmond (Estero, FL)
Inventors:  Genders: F=0, M=3
Abstract:
2000 char max
A method for conditioning and maintaining power with predictive load compensation using an uninterruptible power supply system is disclosed. The method includes measuring an electrical input from a primary power supply using analog sensors and transmitting the input through an impedance to introduce a controlled delay. During the delay, input parameters and downstream system effects are determined based on telemetry sensor data. Digital identities are generated for the electrical input and the downstream load and compared to a stored digital identity representing historical conditions. Using the comparison, a system simulation is performed with analog twinning to predict downstream system responses. The predicted response is used to adjust a power converter parameter, modifying the electrical input to an intermediate output that compensates for voltage fluctuations and harmonic distortions. A secondary power supply with a bidirectional high-discharge battery supplements or stores energy as needed, ensuring stable power delivery to the downstream load.
