Abstract:
A flexible, multi -product, multi - technology, expandable facility for manufacturing products, such as biologicals, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals, and manufacturing processes using elements of such a facility. The manufacturing system comprises a core adapted to supply two or more utilities and two movable manufacturing bays adapted to be removably coupled to the core.

Abstract:
A Knowledge-Engineering Protocol-Suite is presented that generally includes methods and systems, apparatus for search-space organizational validation, and appurtenances for use therewith. The protocol-suite (1/16) includes a search-space organizational validation method (10/1) for synergistically combining knowledge bases of disparate resolution data-sets, such as by actual or simulated integrating of lower resolution expert-experience based model-like templates to higher resolution empirical data-capture dense quantitative search-spaces. Furthermore, from alternative technological vantages, the suite relates to situations where this synergetic combining is beneficially accomplished, such as in control systems, command control systems, command control communications systems, computational apparatus associated with the aforesaid, and to quantitative modeling and measuring tools used therewith. The protocol-suite also includes facile algorithmic tools for use with the method and a process-modeling computer for use in a distributed asynchronous system of modeling computers (1/15).
Abstract:
Apparatus and associated method for constructing a quantifiable model, comprising: an object definer for converting user input into at least one cell having inputs and outputs, a relationship definer for converting user input into relationships associated with said cells such that each said relationships is associated with said cells via one of said inputs and outputs, a quantifier for analyzing said a data set to be modeled to assign quantitative values said with associated inputs and outputs, thereby to generate a quantitative model (Figure 2, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36). The model is useful in automatic decision-making and process control and for process simulation and study. The model building methodology provides for structured and quantity reduced investigation of process data since a qualitative model is used to guide the data analysis. The methodology also allows for obtaining new information regarding such a process through the resulting quantitative model.
