摘要:
The present invention is directed to improved systems and methods for distinguishing and classifying subjects based on analysis of biological materials. Methods for the analysis of multivariate data collected from a plurality of subjects of known class are provided. The results of such analyses include a set of intermediate combined classifiers as well as a metal variable that relates directly to the classes of the subjects in a training population. Both the intermediate combined classifiers and the final meta model are used to distinguish and classify subjects of previously unknown class.

The invention provides methods of, and systems for, optimizing the allocation of inventory to, and pricing of, goods sold by multiple retail sites, e.g., in a store, chain or other retail enterprise. Such a method includes generating a plurality of possible or 'candidate' allocations of a given inventory among the multiple retail sites. That inventory can be, for example, a supply of the same or like goods at a distribution center that serves the retail sites. Each candidate allocation comprises an assignment of a respective share of that inventory to each of the sites. For each of the candidate allocations, an optimal price of the goods at each of the retail sites is estimated. The optimal price is one that will return an optimal gross margin to the respective site, given its assignment of the respective share of the inventory for the particular candidate allocation. For each of the candidate allocations, a sum is determined of the optimal gross margins across all the retail sites. From substantially all possible allocations, the candidate allocation that results in a largest total optimal gross margin is efficiently chosen.

A power multiplier and method are provided. The power multiplier includes a power multiplying network that is a multiply-connected, velocity inhibiting circuit constructed from a number of lumped-elements. The power multiplier also includes a launching network, and a directional coupler that couples the launching network to the power multiplying network. The power multiplier provides for power multiplication at nominal power generation frequencies such as 50 Hertz, 60 Hertz, and other power frequencies, in a compact circuit.
摘要:
A method and path planner (10) for planning a path of a vehicle comprising a perimeter training module (14) for identifying a border of a region associated with a work area. A definer (26) for defining a reference row having a reference path that tracks at least a majority of the border. A generator (30) generates tracking rows that track the reference row. The tracking rows comprise at least one inner tracking row and an outer tracking row. Each inner tracking row having at least one inner curve with a lesser radius than an outer tracking row having a corresponding outer curve with a greater radius.
摘要:
A means and method are disclosed for performing frequency-multiplexed logic, amplification, and energy beam control functions on individual channels simultaneously within a single device by using a plurality of frequency-multiplexed inputs (10, 11), each having beam sets of matching channel frequencies. A set of interference images (12, 13), one for each channel, are simultaneously produced, and energy from the images is separated to produce a frequency-multiplexed output (17). The individual functions performed on individual channels are the result of constructive and destructive interference within each channel's image.

A means and method for dual-phase amplification of wave-type signals is disclosed comprising superimposing a constant level beam set (A) and a modulated beam set (B) to produce a first interference image (22) at first (23) and second (24) locations. A first image component separator (25) separates energy from constructive and destructive interference component regions to produce secondary beam sets that are combined to produce a second interference image (28) which is separated at a destructive interference region to produce the output. The amplifier with multiple inputs is then connected in cascade, as a phase-bistable device, as a level detector, an AND, an OR, and/or a synchronized oscillator. Multiple frequencies work independently, allowing for frequency-multiplexed functions.
