Abstract:
A building analysis (“BA”) system for detecting events of a building includes a plurality of sensors positioned within a building, a memory device including an optimal profile of an infrastructure, and a building analysis (“BA”) server communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors. The infrastructure is at least one of (i) a fixture associated with the building and (ii) at least one person located within the building. The BA system includes one or more processors in communication with the memory that are programmed to: (i) receive sensor data related to the infrastructure, (ii) compare the sensor data to the optimal profile to detect an event, (iii) determine a recommended action based upon the detected event, (iv) execute the recommended action to mitigate at least one of damage caused by the detected event to the building and injury caused by the detected event to the at least one person.
Abstract:
A building analysis (“BA”) system for detecting events of a building includes a plurality of sensors positioned within a building, a memory device including an optimal profile of an infrastructure to be monitored, and a building analysis (“BA”) server communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors. The infrastructure is at least one of (i) a fixture associated with the building and (ii) at least one person located within the building. The BA system includes one or more processors in communication with the memory that are programmed to: (i) receive sensor data related to the infrastructure, (ii) compare the sensor data to the optimal profile to detect an event, (iii) generate an alert message including the event and a recommended action for an owner of the building, (iv) transmit the alert message to a user computing device associated with the owner, and (v) take or direct corrective actions.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus may rapidly test applications by causing or simulating failures within nodes of a cloud computing system in support of both application and infrastructure testing. The method and system may support a variety of “attacks” including the ability to stop or freeze application servers, insert latency or drop packets between servers, constrain CPU or memory, and disable various software flows and applications. Rather than randomly inserting random failures or simulated failures into cloud-based computing system nodes to test their durability and the efficacy of particular applications or services that are executing within the system, the system and methods include a user interface for manually controlling the system attacks.
Abstract:
A building analysis (“BA”) system for detecting events of a building includes a plurality of sensors positioned within a building, at least one memory device and a building analysis (“BA”) computing device communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors, the BA computing device comprising one or more processors in communication with the at least one memory device, wherein the one or more processors are programmed to build an infrastructure profile for the infrastructure, the infrastructure profile including i) one or more reference parameters, ii) detected historic conditions of the one or more fixtures using historical sensor data received over a period of time, and iii) detected historic conditions of the at least one person using historical sensor data received over a period of time.
Abstract:
A system for detecting events of a geographical area includes a plurality of sensors positioned within a plurality of properties, a memory device for storing a profile of at least one utility equipment, the profile including operating parameters for the at least one utility equipment, and a server communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors. The server is configured to (i) receive, from the plurality of sensors, sensor data associated with the at least one utility, (ii) detect an event associated with the at least one utility by comparing the received sensor data to the profile, (iii) determine a performance of the at least one utility equipment based upon the detected event, and (iv) transmit, to a remote computing device, support data associated with the performance of the at least one utility equipment, the support data addressing at least a performance failure of the at least one utility equipment.
