Abstract: An improved human-sensor system for allowing an observer to efficiently perceive, navigate, and control a sensor network. A first layer of the system is a spherical control interface that independently provides an indication of the orientation of a sensor being controlled by the interface. A second layer of the system enhances a live sensor feed by providing a virtual, environmental context when the feed is displayed to an observer. A third layer of the system allows an observer to switch from a first-person perspective view from a sensor to a third person perspective view from movable point of observation in virtual space. A fourth layer of the system provides a virtual representation of the sensor network, wherein each sensor is represented by a virtual display medium in a virtual space. A fifth layer of the system provides a methodology for navigating and controlling the virtual sensor network of Layer 4.

Abstract: Described are methods for ameliorating symptoms associated with inflammatory bowel disease such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (regional enteritis) with four specific quinoline leukotriene synthesis inhibitors.

Abstract: The present invention provides expert advice produced by an expert system 16 as a graphic display that indicates to the user a range 64 in which an actual value 62 of a parameter should be kept for safe or efficient operation of the process being monitored. The operator adjusts control points to keep the actual value indicator 62 within the range 64. As the process being monitored moves toward an out-of-normal state, an alarm management system 18 reinforces the graphic advice with general and then more detailed alarm messages that are displayed in priority order in goal and process message slots 114-122. Recommendations, in the form of an action script, for particular actions, based on expert system action indications, are also presented as the system state becomes more unacceptable. The invention also displays an historical perspective of the process parameters being monitored and, through a prediction module 20, provides a prediction of the future state of the process and process parameters.

Abstract: A display, a display method and an apparatus are disclosed which produce a summary display depicting function states using discrete state bars centered in one window of a two-window display. The other window on the summary display includes meters for the parameters along the active path of the status tree for the most relevant function as determined by the operator. Each meter indicates not only the current value of the parameter being monitored but the ranges of the different function states as they correspond to the parameter being displayed by the meter. Each meter also carries a data quality indicator. A second level display is provided which depicts the status tree with the active path highlighted allowing the operator to review the decision made by the status tree.

Abstract: A display, a display method and an apparatus are disclosed which produce a summary display depicting function states using discrete state bars centered in one window of a two-window display. The status bars represent the states of functions in a process as determined by status decision trees. The discrete states are emphasized by reference lines which indicate the state of each function. Priority among functions is indicated by vertically ranking the bars with the most important function bar appearing at the top. Each bar includes the name of the function, the state of the function and a procedure name for a procedure which can be used to solve the problem identified. The discrete function state is also indicated by the width of the bar and the bar color. On both sides of each bar, a data quality indicator can appear when the quality of the data is less than the best.

Abstract: A hybrid parallel/serial alarm management system in which sensor signals are intelligently processed to produce abnormality indication signals. The abnormality indication signals are divided into groups defined by functions of the system being monitored and are used to generate abnormality messages according to goal violation, process disturbance and process unavailability requirements for each function. Within each goal, process and support category the messages are ranked according to a predetermined local priority and chronologically within the same priority. Each function includes a spatially dedicated parallel display location which displays the highest priority portion of each category of messages associated with each function. The messages not displayed on the parallel display are displayed on a serial display unit in ranked order by category within function.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for the control of dynamic systems, more particularly complex dynamic systems and especially those systems exhibiting minimum phase behavior. The method utilizes observer theory to estimate the state variables of the system. Based in part upon the estimated values of the state variables, a pseudo or compensated output for the system is generated. This compensated output represents the steady state asymptote of the actual system output without the unstable or transient system responses. The actual outputs are then controlled by controlling the compensated output.According to another embodiment, a bounded output may also be generated from the state variable estimates. This bounded output represents the minimum and/or maximum excursion that the actual output takes in its approach to the steady state value represented by the compensated output.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease and alveolar bone loss by administering an effective amount of tolrestat to a human subject.

Abstract: Removeable cab for attachment to the front of a motorcycle having a telescoping tube front wheel, after removal of the front wheel, to produce a three-wheeled vehicle powered by the engine of the motorcycle, wherein the cab comprises an elongated housing providing a compartment for an operator of the three-wheeled vehicle, with the housing being provided with a pair of spaced wheels near its front, with connection elements including a pair of vertically inclined tubular members which fit into the suspension mounting brackets of the motorcycle, after removal of the front wheel and its fork tubes, to mount the cab onto the front of the motorcycle, and with control elements which cooperate with controls on the motorcycle to guide, throttle, clutch, shift gears, and brake the three-wheeled vehicle in a manner similar to normal motorcycle operation.
