Abstract:
A method for predictive analytics for a process includes receiving at least one trace of the process, building a probabilistic graph modeling the at least one trace, determining content at each node of the probabilistic graph, wherein a node represents an activity of the process and at least one node is a decision node, modeling each decision node as a respective decision tree, and predicting, for an execution of the process, a path in the probabilistic graph from any decision node to a prediction target node of a plurality of prediction target nodes given the content.
Abstract:
A pneumatic radial ply truck tire for use on medium truck trailers includes a tread, a casing with two sidewalls, one or more radial plies extending from, and wrapped about, two annular beads, and a belt reinforcement structure located radially between the tread and the one or more radial plies. The tread includes a plurality of circumferentially extending tread grooves, a pair of circumferentially extending shoulder ribs, a pair of radially recessed ribs being radially recessed and non-road contacting under static load disposed at a lateral edge of the shoulder ribs, and a pair of circumferentially extending decoupling grooves. Each decoupling groove defines a transition between a corresponding shoulder rib and a corresponding recessed rib. A lateral edge of one of the shoulder ribs has a first radius of curvature forming a transition from a radially outer surface of the shoulder rib to a first side surface of the corresponding decoupling groove. A base surface of the decoupling groove has a second radius of curvature forming a transition from the first side surface to a second side surface of the decoupling groove. A radially outer surface of the corresponding recessed rib has a third radius of curvature forming a continuous transition from the second side surface to a third outer side surface of the shoulder portion of the tread.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for making a tire with a built in sealant is provided. The method includes the steps of mounting an inner liner onto a tire building drum, extruding a sealant composition into strips having tapered sidewalls, cutting the strip to a desired length, mounting the sealant over the inner liner in two or more zones, wherein each zone is separated by a circumferential divider which joins the inner liner to the a cover layer forming a barrier to prevent migration of the sealant from one zone to another.
Abstract:
A method (and system) for generating a structured representation from an unstructured description includes receiving, by a computer, an unstructured description, and generating, by the computer, a structured representation based upon the unstructured description.
Abstract:
A sensor for detecting the presence of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon containing fluids. It is formed of a first conductor which is formed of a metal wire or metal foil covered by an insulative sheath; a second conductor which consists of a hydrocarbon swellable elastomer and one or more conductive fillers; optionally an abuse/abrasion resistant jacket overlaying and preferably surrounding the two conductors and optionally a hydrocarbon permeable overcoat overlaying the jacket. The sensor may be in the form of a continuous length wire or a tape or a sheet. It may be coupled to an electric supply at one portion and a resistance indicator at the return portion. The resistance indicator is then attached to a signaling device such as a light or alarm.
