Abstract: The exemplified methods and systems facilitates the configuring of IO devices and its IO modules (and submodules) in enabling an operator to retrieve, via a single input, in a development workspace, a list of IO modules and submodules that is compatible to a given IO device. The exemplified methods and systems facilitates retrieval of compatible IO modules and submodules based parameters of the IO modules and submodules. The exemplified methods and systems provide an intuitive interface, in a development workspace for configuring an IO device, to add a retrieved (i.e., searched) module or submodule from a list thereof to an existing project for a given IO device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for processing and graphically displaying power plant data. In one embodiment, one or more values corresponding to one or more parameters associated with the performance of one or more power plant components may be received. A subset of the parameters associated with one or more operational characteristics based in part on the values may be determined. One or more display parameters may be selected that includes inputting at least a numerical range associated with at least one axis. The one or more parameter values in the subset may be scaled based in part on the inputted numerical range. A graphical representation may be generated and output on a graphical user interface that includes the one or more values within the numerical range on the at least one axis corresponding to each parameters in the subset based in part on the one or more display parameters.

Abstract: A dual magnetic resonance imaging method simultaneously acquires a first and a second time series of MR images wherein the temporal resolution of the first time series of images is larger than that of the second time series while the spatial resolution of the first time series of images is smaller than that of the second time series. Accordingly, in the context of DCE-MRI, the first time series can be used to determine the arterial input function (AIF) while the second time series can be used to determine the concentration time course in the tissue of interest, e.g. in a vessel wall. Therefore, both the AIF and the tissue time course can be acquired with their optimal dynamic signal range.

Abstract: Certain embodiments herein relate to systems and methods for managing power plant component information. In one embodiment, a system can include at least one memory configured to store computer-executable instructions and at least one control device configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions. The instructions may be configured to associate an identifier with a component and correlate the identifier with component information stored in a database. The instructions may be configured to output the information to a portable device. In another embodiment of the disclosure, an output of information to a portable device may be specified and updated according to input to the portable device.

Abstract: One aspect of the invention is a system for providing navigation control for a tabletop computer system. The system includes a multi-touch display and processing circuitry coupled to the multi-touch display. The processing circuitry is configured to display a user interface on the multi-touch display and render a navigation pane on the multi-touch display. The navigation pane includes a reduced-scale copy of the user interface. The processing circuitry is also configured to detect a touch-based input at a position on the navigation pane and determine a scaled position on the user interface corresponding to the position on the navigation pane. The processing circuitry is further configured to interpret the touch-based input at the position on the navigation pane as an equivalent touch-based input at the scaled position on the user interface and trigger an event corresponding to the equivalent touch-based input at the scaled position on the user interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing and displaying power plant data are able to access continuous live and/or historical operational data and identify within the data: (a) instances of at least one given type of power plant operation, (b) key events that may occur during an instance of the at least one given type of power plant operation, and (c) one or more time-based segments based on the key events and a physical segmentation of the power plant. Performance aspects for selected identified power plant operation instances can be quantified by comparing the identified instances with metrics that are predefined relative to the key events and segmentation within each type of power plant operation. Selected data associated with the identified instances are provided as electronic output to a user.

Abstract: A multicontrast-weighted acquisition of three images is performed with an MRI system. Each image is normalized and then mapped to a separate color channel. A composite color image is formed by combining all the color channels, and this image is displayed or analyzed to identify different tissue types therein.
