摘要:
A method and apparatus are disclosed. The method includes one or more of the following: compiling statistical models of physical layers of a communications system; creating a priori distributions of cross-talk transfer functions; storing the models and the a priori distribution in a storage medium; and using the models and the a priori distributions to diagnose probable causes of events detected in said communications system.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for the prediction and optimization of a communications system. The present invention provides for the prediction and optimization of the performance of a communications system comprising the steps of inputting a plurality of channels, predicting a performance of each channel using a plurality of parameters to characterize the performance of the channel, and possibly optimizing the parameters of each channel according to a design criteria.
摘要:
Events that occur in a number of in domain communication channels where each channel is used by a communication service, are detected. A Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) defines a probabilistic cause-effect relationship between each cause and each effect on a victim channel. The probability of each of a number of possible causes as being a cause of interference in the victim channel is determined, by propagating observations of the interference backwards through the BBN.

Approximations for previewer-based decomposition are disclosed. In one embodiment, the previewer uses only resistors, capacitors, and controlled sources. Thus, at least some circuit elements that are not resistors or capacitors may be replaced with some combination of resistors, capacitors, or controlled sources. For example, inductors can be modeled as short circuits or as a non-zero resistance. As another example, transistors can be replaced by some combination of resistors, capacitors, and controlled sources. In one embodiment, a diagonal approximation is used to form an approximation for simulation in a previewer-based decomposition. The diagonal approximation uses resistors, capacitors, or controlled sources, in one embodiment. In one embodiment, an impedance between two partitions is split to form a new previewer node.

The present invention includes a method and system for limiting the ramp rate of a variable under control in order to control stress in a process or plant under control. The present invention takes a limit curve provided by the user and combines that limit curve with a scale factor curve obtained from a model of the system to produce an allowable limit curve. A ramp rate limiter then uses the allowable limit curve to control the ramp rate of the variable under control such that the ramp rate of the variable under control is able to achieve the maximum allowable limit but no more.
摘要:
A method for computer aided design of a product or process. The method includes the steps of representing a computer-aided design activity as a design cycle. The design cycle is then converted into individual iterations of decisions to be made within the design cycle. The individual iterations of decisions are then mapped into a hierarchical structure of influence diagrams. The decision making process of the influence diagrams are performed and data is collected from the decision process that has been performed. The remaining unexecuted decisions and their posterior probabilities are updated based upon the outcomes of the decision process that was most recently performed.
摘要:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for dynamic optimization of a dynamic physical system having a device under control and a controller along with a modeling system having an estimator and a constrained nonlinear program. The time varying trajectories of the dynamic physical system are parameterized and run through the modeling system in order to produce a set of optimal time varying setpoint trajectories to be used in the dynamic physical system. The optimal time varying setpoint trajectories optimize the physical system to produce the desired end result (or product) of the dynamic physical system.
