Abstract: Detection of one or more abnormal situations is performed using various statistical measures, such as a mean, a median, a standard deviation, etc. of one or more process parameters or variable measurements made by statistical process monitoring blocks within a plant. This detection is enhanced in various cases by using specialized data filters and data processing techniques, which are designed to be computationally simple and therefore are able to be applied to data collected at a high sampling rate in a field device having limited processing power. The enhanced data or measurements may be used to provided better or more accurate statistical measures of the data, may be used to trim the data to remove outliers from this data, may be used to fit this data to non-linear functions, or may be use to quickly detect the occurrence of various abnormal situations within specific plant equipment, such as distillation columns and fluid catalytic crackers.

Flow processing for switching, security, and other network applications, including a facility that processes a data flow to address patterns relevant to a variety of conditions are directed at internal network security, virtualization, and web connection security. A flow processing facility for inspecting payloads of network traffic packets detects security threats and intrusions across accessible layers of the IP-stack by applying content matching and behavioral anomaly detection techniques based on regular expression matching and self-organizing maps.

Abstract: The invention provides an integrated framework for detecting peripheral sympathetic responses through imaging. The measurements may be performed on three facial areas of sympathetic importance, that is, periorbital, supraorbital, and maxillary. Because the imaging measurements are thermal in nature and comprise multiple components of variable frequency (i.e., blood flow, sweat gland activation, and breathing), wavelets are used as the image analysis framework. The image analysis may be grounded on GSR signals.

Abstract: A method and system for subnet defect diagnostics through fault compositing is disclosed. A testing apparatus generates callout data for an integrated circuit device under test. A computer received the callout data, which includes a list of faults. Each fault of the list of faults has associated with it one or more failures and/or conflicts. In order to explain the failures, two or more faults are selected and composited, yielding a composite fault having a composite conflict count. The composite fault is assigned a score based on the composite conflict count, which score determines a candidate composite that best explains the faults of the list of faults. This procedure may be repeated to explain all the failures.

Abstract: Provided is a regenerative switched reluctance motor driving system which allows a motor to have a reduced size and weight and an increased efficiency as well as improved energy recovery efficiency at the time of regenerative braking without using a neodymium magnet. Based on an angular position of a rotor in the motor, a constant current flip-flop circuit 2 renders two current paths alternately conductive so as to allow a rectangular-wave current having a width of an electrical angle of 180° to alternately flow in two coils in the motor 3, and shifts the timing of rendering the two current paths alternately conductive, between when driving and when braking the motor 3, by a time during which the rotor is rotated by an angle corresponding to an electrical angle of 180°.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that generates queries to search for matching forms in a set of forms, without requiring a pre-configured forms management system. During operation, the system obtains a form template, wherein the form template includes a form schema which specifies field names and data types for fields in form instances associated with the form template. Next, the system allows a user to specify search criteria for one or more fields defined by the form schema. Then the system generates a query based on search criteria entered by the user, and runs the query against the set of forms to identify matching forms. Finally, the system generates a list of the matching forms.

Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for correcting gate-level simulation commences by identifying unknown values (Xs) that are falsely generated during the simulation of a given trace for a design netlist. Then, a sub-circuit of the design netlist is determined for each false X that has inputs of real Xs and an output of a false X. Finally, simulation correction code is generated based on the sub-circuit to eliminate false Xs in simulation of the design netlist. The original design netlist can then be resimulated with the simulation repair code to eliminate false Xs. This allows gate-level simulation to produce correct results.
