Abstract:
A method and apparatus for checking the correctness of GIS data. The method includes the steps of: receiving GIS data; receiving business data of each branch; determining the geographic area to which each branch belongs, wherein the GIS data in the geographic area will be checked; and, checking whether the GIS data of the geographic area to which each branch belongs are correct based on the business data of each branch. The method and apparatus can automatically check geographic and demographic data of a given city or region.
Abstract:
Methods for repairing composite containment casings involving providing a composite containment casing having an integrated abradable system, the abradable system having at least one damaged portion, and including a sandwich structure, and at least one abradable layer, removing the damaged portion of the abradable system to leave a hole, shaping a sandwich structure segment to produce a shaped sandwich structure, placing the shaped sandwich structure into the hole in the abradable system, infusing a resin into the shaped sandwich structure, and curing the containment casing having the shaped sandwich structure, and applying at least one abradable layer to the shaped sandwich structure to produce the containment casing having a repaired integrated abradable system.
Abstract:
A method and system for integrating multiple factors into a unified optimization model for retail network configuration, in one aspect, obtains input data for modeling store configuration. The input data may include demand of each merchandise category from each customer segment in each facility, geographic distribution of stores in an area, current revenue of stores, and physical cost of reconfiguring stores. A trade area is generated as a function of store location, store format, and store capacity. The method and system also generates trade area demand summation representing predicted total demand of all stores for all merchandise categories for all customer segments in the trade area, as a function of store location, store format, store capacity, merchandise category, and customer segment associated with the trade area. An objective function is constructed as a function of said trade area demand summation, current revenue of stores, and physical cost of reconfiguring stores.
Abstract:
A data cache processing method, system and a data cache apparatus. The method includes: configuring a node and a memory chunk corresponding to the node in a cache, the node storing a key of data, length of the data and a pointer pointing to the memory chunk, the memory chunk storing data; and performing cache processing for the data according to the node and the memory chunk corresponding to the node.
Abstract:
Self-conforming non-crimp fabric having at least one conforming region including a first tailored parameter selected from stitch type, stitch spacing, stitch density, stitch material, stitch weight, stitch tension, and combinations thereof.

Abstract:
Method, apparatus and system for location evaluation and site selection, capable of effectively configuring the site network and evaluating the facility location by scientifically modeling and incorporating human knowledge are provided. In one aspect, geographic and demographic data associated with a plurality of locations and human knowledge comprising partial rating knowledge and pair-wise preference knowledge are used in a regression algorithm to construct a location evaluation model. The regression algorithm is further refined using active learning that identifies a plurality of pairs of locations to improve precision of the regression algorithm.
