Appl. No.:

09/770167

Inventors:

Ronald Kupiec - Chagrin Falls OH, US
Paolo Argentieri - Richmond Heights OH, US
Jeff Rochow - Chagrin Falls OH, US

Assignee:

ABB Automation Inc.

International Classification:

G06F017/21
G06F017/24

US Classification:

707/513000, 707/530000

Abstract:

A web based name resolution service that associates one or more named entities in a first system with the corresponding names for those entities in one or more target systems. A XML document created in the first system is transmitted in a session and over a connection and protocol to a web server which activates an active server page. An object is launched that provides access to a database that contains the relationship between the name for the named entities and the corresponding name for the entities in the target system. A new XML document that contains the corresponding names is created and returned to the first system during the session and over the connection and the protocol that transmitted the XML document from the first system to the web server.

International Classification:

G06F015/173

US Classification:

709/238000, 709/244000

Abstract:

An asset management server for a network of an enterprise. The enterprise has one or more assets and two or more data sources and each source has a unique name for each asset. The server determines from an incoming message from the data sources about the assets which of the other data sources needs to receive the message and the unique name for the asset used by those sources. The server prepares the outgoing message to the sources.

Abstract:

Routing software in an asset management server for a network of an enterprise. The enterprise has one or more assets and two or more data sources and each source has a unique name for each asset. The server determines from an incoming message from the data sources about the assets which of the other data sources needs to receive the message and the unique name for the asset used by those sources. The routing software prepares the outgoing message to the sources and transmits the message to those sources.

Abstract:

A hardened inductive device and systems and methods for protecting the inductive device from impact is provided. The inductive device is hardened with protective coating and/or an armor steel housing. The hardened inductive device is protected from impact by an object such as a bullet and leakage of dielectric fluid is prevented. Acoustic and vibration sensors are provided to detect the presence and impact, respectively, of an object in relation to the inductive device housing. The measurements of the acoustic and vibration sensors are compared to thresholds for sending alarms to the network control center and initiating shut-down and other sequences to protect the active part. The acoustic sensor results are utilized to determine the location of origin of the projectile.

International Classification:

H04W 12/08
H04W 76/02
H04L 29/06

Abstract:

Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing a remote user computing system with secure wireless diagnostic and programming access to an IED operatively coupled with electrical substation equipment are disclosed. An exemplary apparatus comprises a portable computer system comprising a processor and one or more non-transitory memory media storing executable instructions and a cellular modem in operative communication with one another. An antenna external to the portable computer system is adapted to be operatively coupled with the cellular modem and physically positionable independently from the portable computer system. A communication interface adapted to establish a physical electronic communication link between the portable computer system and the IED. The portable computer system, the antenna and the communication interface being provided in a human portable kit. The executable instructions comprise remote user computing system access control instructions, IED access control instructions, and a set of IED diagnostic and programming instructions.

Ronald A. Kupiec - Chagrin Falls OH, US

International Classification:

F41H 13/00

Abstract:

A computer-implemented system and method of determining the vulnerability of an asset includes determining an elevation surface surrounding an asset. A target point and aim point are selected on the asset and ballistic trajectories are determined for a particular projectile. A plurality of trajectory height surfaces that are rotationally symmetric about the asset and having a cross-section corresponding to the projectile trajectory for the selected range. A corrected elevation surface is generated for each range based on the trajectory height surface for the particular range. An observer view surface is generated from the plurality of corrected elevation surfaces, and is combined with the target visibility surface to generate the target vulnerability surface.
