Abstract: Migrating content between enterprise content management systems is described. A source object identifier is identified for metadata tables for content for a source enterprise content management system, based on a migration job definition. The metadata tables are retrieved from the source enterprise content management system, based on the source object identifier. A target object identifier is identified for a target enterprise content management system, based on the metadata tables and the migration job definition. An object identifier map is created that maps the source object identifier to the target object identifier. The metadata tables are stored to the target enterprise content management system, based on the object identifier map. The content for the source enterprise content management system is retrieved. The content is stored as content for the target enterprise content management system.

Abstract: A text mining system providing NLP and NLU capabilities is operable to perform, at a first processing layer, a first operation on input data to produce metadata about the input data. At a second processing layer, a rules module applies a composite AI extraction rule to further process the input data. The composite AI extraction rule has a rule condition that leverages the metadata from the first operation and a rule action that involves a second operation. Other composite AI extraction rules involving multiple text mining operations may also be applied. For instance, a rule may specify using the tonality of a document from a sentiment analysis to classify the document according to a relevant taxonomy. Another rule may specify classifying documents of a particular type under a specific category. In this way, new/enhanced information about the input data can be deduced, validated, and/or enriched.

Abstract: A method for optimizing orientations of an anisotropic material in a component. For example, the method overcomes the non-uniqueness and gimbal locking problems associated with using Euler angles to define the orientation by instead parameterizing the orientation using an orientation tensor that is a self-dyadic product of a direction vector. To avoid non-linear constraints in the mathematical design variables used in the optimization, isoparametric shape functions map the mathematical design variables to physical design variables, and the mapping ensures that various constraints associated with tensor invariants of the orientation tensor are satisfied even though these constraints are not directly imposed on the mathematical design variables. The physical design variables are used to model the component, whereas optimization is performed using the mathematical design variables.

Abstract: A building loses or gains heat through its envelope based on the differential between the indoor and outdoor temperatures. The losses or gains are due to conduction and infiltration. Conventionally, these effects are typically estimated by performing an on-site energy audit. However, total thermal conductivity, conduction, and infiltration can be determined empirically. The number of air changes per hour are empirically measured using a CO2 concentration monitoring device, which enables the infiltration component of total thermal conductivity to be measured directly. The conduction component of thermal conductivity can then be determined by subtracting the infiltration component from the building's total thermal conductivity.
