Problem

The processing of large volumes of diverse signals from various sources is resource-demanding, leading to increased complexity, processing time, and costs, particularly in applications like renewable energy integration, where unpredictability and intermittency pose challenges for balancing energy sources and ensuring market stability.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a space-time-nodal engine for signal processing, which employs a special purpose computing platform to execute spatially, temporally, or nodally-dominant attributes, using techniques such as signal sampling, filtering, encoding, and training models to facilitate efficient processing and analysis of signals from multiple sources, including renewable energy data.

1Productivity

If traditional signal processing techniques are used to handle large volumes of diverse signals, then processing capability is maintained, but processing time and computational resources increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal processing capabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments signals into discrete spatial-temporal-nodal units called STING cells, each representing a specific segment of signal data with defined spatial, temporal, and nodal attributes. This segmentation allows the system to process large volumes of diverse signals by breaking them down into manageable, standardized units that can be efficiently handled by the computing platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a third dimension of organization by combining spatial, temporal, and nodal attributes into a unified space-time-nodal framework. This multi-dimensional approach enables the system to organize and process signals more efficiently by adding organizational dimensions that traditional two-dimensional (spatial-temporal) approaches cannot achieve, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If comprehensive signal processing is performed to analyze diverse content from multiple sources, then analysis completeness is improved, but processing complexity and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis completenessVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal signal processing framework where a single computing platform can handle diverse signal types from multiple sources by organizing them into standardized STING cells. The space-time-nodal attribute structure serves as a universal container that can accommodate various signal formats and sources, enabling comprehensive analysis without requiring separate processing systems for each signal type, thus reducing overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent standardizes signal representation by transforming diverse signals into a common parameter space defined by spatial, temporal, and nodal attributes. This parameter transformation allows the system to maintain analysis completeness across different signal types while reducing processing complexity through uniform handling procedures and standardized data structures.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary organization and standardization of signals into STING cells with defined spatial-temporal-nodal attributes before detailed analysis is performed. This preliminary action prepares the data in an optimized format that reduces the computational resources needed for subsequent precise analysis, thereby achieving high measurement precision while minimizing processing costs through efficient data preparation.
