摘要:
Computer implemented machine learning methods are described. A co-operative learning method involves a first rule based system and a second rule based system. A rule base is generated from input data and recursion data is used to recursively update the rule base as a result of newly received input data. Rule data defining at least one rule and associated data are sent to the second system which determines whether to update its rule base using the transmitted rule data, and if so the recursion data is used to recursively determine the updated rules for its rule base. A father machine learning method for a rule based system, involves receiving time series data, determining whether the data increases or decreases the spatial density for previously existing rules, and if so then creating a new cluster and associated rule, otherwise a new cluster is not created.

Disclosed is a fluid sampling device comprising a housing arranged to be freely rotatable under the influence of a fluid and comprising an opening for channeling the fluid through the housing such that the fluid contacts a particular portion of a sampling medium corresponding to a relative angular position of the housing.

A method of determining the state of a cable comprising at least one electrical conductor, uses a generated test signal and applied it to at least one conductor of the cable by a non-contact electrical coupling transmitter. The resulting signal is propagated along the at least one conductor and a non-contact electrical coupling receiver picks up a reflected signal, and compares the reflected signal to expected stag signal values for the cable to determine its current state.

A probe device for use in measuring trace quantities of a component in a liquid environment comprises: (i) a membrane (2) which is permeable to the component; and (ii) a layer of a material (4) capable of binding the component and arranged to receive material which has permeated through the membrane (2) from a face (6) thereof juxtaposed to the fluid environment. The membrane (2) may for example be a polyacrylamide gel and the material (4) an ion exchange resin. The device may be used, for example, for determining quantities of trace metals in an aqueous environment.

Pharmaceutical compositions useful in regulating calcium transport across cellular membranes in man and animals are disclosed. The compositions contain plant growth regulators such as abscisic acid and its derivatives. In particular, the compositions contain a compound of the formula: or R₁ - Y - R₂ wherein R₁ is an alkyl of up to seven carbons or a saturated or unsaturated six membered carbon ring, which may be substituted; R₂ is a cyano group, a thio or hydroxy lower alkyl group or a group containing a carbonyl, most commonly a carboxyl group; R₃ is hydrogen or lower alkyl; R₄ is hydrogen, lower alkyl or halide; R₅ is hydrogen or hydroxy; R₆ is hydrogen, carboxy or carboxy lower alkyl, or R₅ and R₆ form a bond between the carbons to which they are attached or with the carbons to which they are attached form a carbon ring; or R₂ and R₆ together with the carbon to which they are bonded form a heterocyclic ring; n is 0 or 1, with the proviso that when n is 0, R₂ is an acyl group; X is -CH₂-, -CH=CH-, -CH₂-CH₂-, -CH₂-NH-, -CH₂-O-, -CH₂-S- or -NH-CO-; and Y is a carbocyclic group bonded to R₁ and R₂ through a single carbon. The compositions are formulated for oral, parenteral or other form of administration in dosages necessary to effect the desired change in calcium flux. Daily doses of 0.01 to 200 mg/kg in one or more doses are contemplated. Dosage units may be formulated with any pharmaceutically acceptable carrier which is compatible with the active ingredient.
