Abstract:
Systems and methods for diagnosing or prognosing mobile and/or fixed client assets in a logical and interactive manner. Embodiments of the present invention provide a data analyzer with one or more asset diagnostic models. An asset diagnostic model is configured to logically and systematically interact with a client asset and analyze operational parameter data obtained from the client asset to diagnose a problem with the client asset and/or to predict or forecast future problems or conditions of the client asset.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for scoring, ranking, and allocating mobile and/or fixed client assets. Embodiments of the present invention relate to the characterization or assessment of client assets with respect to the health of the client assets, the ranking of the client assets according to the characterization or assessment, and the allocating of the client assets to tasks or missions based on the ranking and/or mission parameters.
Abstract:

Also disclosed is an analytic router that includes a mapper, an estimator, an optimizer, and a resource provisioner.
Abstract:
Method, system and computer software for diagnosing a compressor. The method includes generating a feature vector of the compressor, the feature vector of the compressor including components describing states of various parts of the compressor; determining, based on fuzzy constraints, an aggregated anomaly vector corresponding to the feature vector; defining rules for a preset list of possible faults/failure modes of the compressor; calculating a corroborating measure between the aggregated anomaly vector and the rules; and identifying a fault/failure mode of the compressor based on a result of the corroborating measure.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing conductive lines with small line-to-line space. The method for manufacturing conductive lines is to coat photoresist on a conductor layer firstly, after exposure and development treatments, then further perform an ashing treatment to completely remove the corresponding part of the photoresist that is corresponding to the exposure area, and then perform an etching step for the conductor layer to form the required conductive lines. The method provided by the present invention can manufacture wire patterns that meet the requirement of small line-to-line space under a condition that the exposure apparatus has limited exposure accuracy.
Abstract:
Mining of websites that in one embodiment includes obtaining web usage data of user sessions of a website, wherein the website has a hierarchical structure with granular levels and has mapping from each webpage of the website into the hierarchical structure, mapping the user sessions to the hierarchical structure of the website resulting in hierarchical user sessions, initiating an edit distance metrics to determine similarity in the hierarchical user sessions, and clustering similar hierarchical user sessions into groups.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a central scheduler and method for adaptive clustering are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a cluster of transmitter-receiver pairs is selected based on minimum singular values calculated from direct channel information and the selected pairs are instructed to perform an interference alignment technique.
Abstract:
Methods and arrangements for wireless communications are contemplated. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to determine the signal to noise ratios (SNRs) of multiple stations associated with an access point in a wireless network. The embodiments may also include selecting whether one of the stations communicates with the access point by an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission method or a multiple-access joint coding/decoding transmission method, the selecting based upon the SNRs and communicating the selected transmission method to the station of the multiple stations. Some embodiments may include determining an SNR threshold level, selecting the MAC transmission method if the SNR of at least one of the multiple stations is below the SNR threshold level, and selecting the OFDM transmission method if the SNRs of all of the multiple stations are above the SNR threshold level. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
