MUMBAI, India, June 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517037335 A) filed by Burckhardt Compression Ag, Winterthur, Switzerland, on April 17, for 'method for predicting failures in industrial systems.'
Inventor(s) include Lobodzinski, Bogdan; and Cuquel, Alexis.
The application for the patent was published on June 6, under issue no. 23/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method for predicting failures in an industrial system (100), the method comprising the steps of a) providing an input time series (1) comprising a plurality of data points (t1,...,n, y1,...,n), each data point containing a time stamp (ti) and a value (yi) of a variable W measured at the respective time stamp (ti); b) calculating fitting parameters (2) of a log-periodic power law model function W(t) (3) that give the smallest mean squared error mse (4) to the input time series (1) or to at least one subset (1a) of data points of said input time series (1), to obtain a fitted function (5); c) identifying the local maxima (Nmax) and the local minima (Nmin) of the fitted function (5); d) determining a trend (Tmax) from at least some of the identified local maxima (Nmax) and a trend (Tmin) from at least some of the identified local minima (Nmin), respectively, wherein the respective trend (Tmax, Tmin) is determined by the slope of a linear fit to the selected local maxima (Nmax) and local minima (Nmin), respectively; e) identifying whether or not a given data point (tn, yn) of the input time series (1) is a critical point (tc), wherein said given data point (tn, yn) is a critical point (tc) if both trends (Tmax; Tmin) are positive or negative for the last point (tn-1, yn-1) of the input time series preceding said given data point (tn, yn); and, if a critical point (tc) has been identified in step e), a step f) outputting a signal (7) indicating that a failure of at least one component (8) in the industrial system (100) was predicted."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 07, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/080995.
