Abstract: An analysis apparatus derives a second factor (102) according to a physical phenomenon with which an analysis target (104) is to comply. The analysis apparatus derives, based on the second factor (102), a third factor (103) according to a physical phenomenon with which the analysis target (104) is to comply. The analysis apparatus decides, based on a result of evaluating the third factor (103), a first factor (102) corresponding to the third factor. The second factor (102) indicates a state in the analysis target when the first factor (101) is given to the analysis target (104).

Abstract: A processing device divides an initial tread pattern into multiple mutually adjacent partial patterns, each having a width smaller than that of the initial tread pattern, by at least one straight line along a circumferential direction of a tire. The processing device calculates variation amounts of characteristic values of the partial patterns with respect to the circumferential direction, based on a contact region, each of the characteristic values indicating a shape of a corresponding partial pattern. The processing device modifies the shapes of the partial patterns so as to reduce the variation amounts of the characteristic values of the partial patterns. The processing device relatively moves the partial patterns along the circumferential direction so as to reduce a total variation amount of characteristic values of at least two mutually adjacent partial patterns. The processing device combines the partial patterns with each other to generate a tread pattern of the tire.

Abstract: An augmented system model may include a system high fidelity model that generates a first output. The augmented system model may further include a data driven model to receive data associated with the first output and to generate a second output, and a feature space version of the second output may be output from the augmented system model. Monitoring nodes may each generate a series of current monitoring node values over time representing current operation of an industrial asset. A model adaptation element may receive the current monitoring node values, calculate a feature space version of current operation, and compare the feature space version of the second output of the augmented system model with the feature space version of current operation. Parameters of the data driven model may then be adapted based on a result of the comparison.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for providing network device modeling in preconfigured network modeling environments. A device comprising a memory and a processor may be configured to perform the techniques. The processor may interface with a network device within the preconfigured network environment to iteratively adapt pre-defined configuration objects of the network device. The processor may conduct, for each iteration of the adaptation of the pre-defined configuration objects, a simulation to collect a simulation dataset representative of an operating state of the network device. The processor may generate, based on the operational data, a model representative of the network device that predicts, responsive to configuration parameters for the network device, an operating state of the network device. The memory may store the model.

Abstract: The invention provides a computer simulation system for simulating a data centre. The simulation system uses a logical representation of the data centre to perform the simulation. This logical representation includes a plurality of nodes representing devices in the data centre. Each node has an input for applied load and outputs for electrical power drawn and losses in the form of heat output. Each node also has a function for calculating the outputs from the inputs. A first set of connections between the nodes represent electrical power drawn by one device in the data centre from another device in the data centre. A second set of connections between the nodes represent a thermal load applied by one device in the data centre to another device in the data centre. The simulator can be run for a series of different operating conditions to map data centre efficiency, for example, or to assess the impact of different IT devices on the data centre.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for combining nodes and/or aggregating streaming queries in a simulation are presented. In some examples, combining nodes and/or aggregating streaming queries may result in less duplicative data being sent through the system. A first node may be connected to a first aggregator, and the first aggregator may be connected to a second node. In some examples, the first node may comprise a client or another aggregator, and the second node may comprise a data source or another aggregator. Based on a determination that a first streaming query subscription of the first node connected to the first aggregator has changed to a second streaming query subscription, one or more aggregator controller(s) may determine to migrate the first node to a different aggregator. Migrating the first node to a different aggregator may increase overlap of streaming query subscriptions in the system and/or reduce the amount of duplicative data being sent through the system.
