Abstract: In a data visualization system, a method of arranging, in n dimensions, data points representing n or more variables, the method including the steps of: a data point ranking module ranking a set of data points with respect to a first axis of a visual representation using a first variable; and based on a second variable, a data point distribution module distributing the set of data points along the first axis while retaining information relating to the ranking of data points determined in step i).

Abstract: A method of creating a graphical representation of data in the form of a heatmap, the method including the steps of: positioning data points on a heatmap for graphical representation, calculating conical data distribution values around a data point based on a data value associated with that data point and rendering the heatmap based on the calculated data distribution values.

Abstract: In a data visualization system, a method of graphically representing discrete data as a continuous surface in image space, the method comprising the steps of: a data retrieval module retrieving discrete data from a data storage device in communication with the data visualization system; an interpolation module calculating a first set of values for a weighted interpolation function based on the retrieved discrete data; a smoothing module calculating a second set of values for one or more weighted approximation functions based on the retrieved discrete data; and a surface combining module combining the first and second set of calculated values over the image space to graphically represent a continuous surface.

Abstract: A method for communicating between cards in an electronic module is provided. The method includes generating a message for transmission at a first card. The message is transmitted over a bus to a second card by-passing an IP stack at the first card. A queue at the second card is monitored for messages from the first card. A message is read from the queue at the second card when received from the first card.

Abstract: A pivot point release load adjuster assembly for use in a pull type angle spring clutch pressure plate assembly having a pair of pins connected to the housing end, a cradle swivelingly disposed on the pins, a pressure spring seat swivelingly disposed on release sleeve retainer pins and a pressure spring located between the cradle on the housing end and the pressure spring seat on the release sleeve retainer end. The cradle is operatively positioned on the pins thereby enabling the cradle to swivel about a pivot axis at a distance, between the pressure spring seat and the pivot axis. The assembly is adapted to operatively adjust the pivot axis away from the seat of the pressure spring towards the sleeve retainer end of the pressure spring whereby a desired lever ratio is achieved.

The cradle is operatively positioned on the said pins thereby enabling the cradle to swivel about a pivot point at a distance, between the said pressure spring seat and the said pivot point. The assembly is adapted to operatively adjust such pivot point away from the seat of the pressure spring towards the sleeve retainer end of the pressure spring whereby the desired lever ratio is achieved.
