Abstract: A PCB analysis utilizes manufacturing capability data shared in a multi-tenant collaborative network in a mixed cloud and on-premise environment. Access to a tenant's account of a DFM application deployed on the tenant's premises is provided. The DFM application is enabled to activate the PCB analysis on a DFM profile with manufacturing capability data. The tenant's account requests a utilization authorization of a given DFM profile stored in a cloud data layer. When the utilization is authorized, the given DFM profile is downloaded embedded in a locked DFM envelope, which locks together the given DFM profile with an injected identifier of the authorized tenant's account. Via the DFM application, when logged into the tenant's account, the PCB analysis is activated by permitting the unlocking of the DFM profile from the DFM envelope only when the identifier of the tenant's account is the same as the injected identifier.

Abstract: A method is provided by which payments for assets are recorded using blockchain transactions, and verified based on immutable logs associated with the transactions.

Abstract: In some embodiments, data from multiple vehicle-based natural gas leak detection survey runs are used by computer-implemented machine learning systems to generate a list of natural gas leaks ranked by hazard level. A risk model embodies training data having known hazard levels, and is used to classify newly-discovered leaks. Hazard levels may be expressed by continuous variables, and/or probabilities that a given leak fits within a predefined category of hazard (e.g. Grades 1-3). Each leak is represented by a cluster of leak indications (peaks) originating from a common leak source. Hazard-predictive features may include maximum, minimum, mean, and/or median CH4/amplitude of aggregated leak indications; estimated leak flow rate, determined from an average of leak indications in a cluster; likelihood of leak being natural gas based on other indicator data (e.g. ethane concentration); probability the leak was detected on a given pass; and estimated distance to leak source.

In one example, the method includes receiving a request to perform tag mapping for a target tag of a master data set, the target tag representing a target component of an asset, querying a customer data for a plurality of candidate tag records based on the target tag, tokenizing the plurality of candidate tag records included in the customer data set, reducing an amount of the tokenized tag records in the customer data set based on the target tag and each tokenized candidate tag record, performing tag mapping with the reduced amount of tokenized tag records to identify at least one candidate tag that is a possible match to the target tag, and outputting information concerning the identified at least one matching candidate tag.

Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to a pluggable framework for managing algorithm ensembles for code design. In one example, the method includes receiving a selection of an algorithm from among a plurality of available algorithms, inserting the selected algorithm into an algorithm ensemble including a grouping of algorithms which combine to perform a data processing operation, the inserting comprising linking an input of the selected algorithm to an output of a first algorithm and linking an output of the selected algorithm to an input of a second algorithm, from among the algorithms included in the algorithm ensemble, and executing the algorithm ensemble on input data in an order defined by the linking to generate a processing result of the input data.

Abstract: A process for identifying, accurately selecting, and storing scientific data that is present in textual formats. The process includes providing scientific data located in a text document and searching the text document using a computer and selecting a plurality of key words and phrases using an algorithm. The selected key words and phrases are matched with a plurality of semantic definitions and a plurality of semantic definition-key words and phrase pairs are created. The created plurality of semantic definition-key words and phrase pairs are displayed to a user via a computer user interface and the user selects which of the created plurality of semantic definition-key words and phrase pairs are accurate. The process also includes storing the selected and accurate semantic definition-key words and phrase pairs in computer memory.

Abstract: A cycle, such as a bicycle, used forward and rearward movement of handlebars to provide an additional force for driving or propelling the rear wheel of a bicycle. A drive rod linkage extends from the handlebars to transmit the fore and aft movement of the handlebars to drive the rear wheel of the bicycle. The rod linkage transfers this fore and aft motion without interfering with conventional steering of the front wheel. Forward and rearward movement of the handlebars is consistent with the normal manner of riding a traditional bicycle.
