  • Publication number: 20130079959
    Abstract: A power system housed in modules or containers may be located as a unitary structure for example secured to a locomotive platform, allowing easy retrofits. A control subsystem may maintain an RPM of a prime mover at minimum that still provides an expected level of power from an electric machine for any one of a finite number of throttle settings. The control subsystem may dynamically adjust loads between various combinations of series and/or parallel couplings. A set of processor executable instructions may be configured for specific platforms by selecting appropriate set of values based on number of loads (e.g., driven axles), rating (e.g., horse power), other criteria (e.g., manufacturer, model, year). Characteristics may be determined and verified, and operation based on the outcome of such. A telematics system method logs and provides remote access to operational data, engine data, power system data, anti-idling overrides, unauthorized changes, and/or location.

  • Publication number: 20120254424
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system and method is illustrated as including generating a model using at least one of a global conduct score and attribute data. A range of numeric values may be retrieved, based upon which, a better term is granted in a transaction than would otherwise be granted in the transaction. A comparison may be made between the model and the range of numeric values. Further, a better term may be granted in the transaction where the model falls within the range of numeric values. The global conduct score is computed using an approach including at least one of a feed score approach, and a composite score approach. The attribute data includes page view data, click through data, account usage data, and good purchased data. The model includes a global conduct score model, a weighting model, an AI based model, and an associated network based model.

  • Publication number: 20120246564
    Abstract: The invention is to system and methods for automatically identifying the language(s) contained in text. The system comprises two language classifiers, one that classifies the text based on the latters present, and a second classifier that classifies the text based on the words present. Each classifier produces a list of languages and a weight for each language. Each classifier also computes an overall confidence applied to the classifier as a whole. The results of the classifiers are combined together incorporating the classifier confidence and language weights. The combined results produce a list of languages and weights and an overall confidence.

  • Patent number: 8166357
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing integrated circuit security features are provided to selectively disable testability features on an integrated circuit chip. A test disable logic circuit receives a test enable signal and responsive to the test enable signal set for a test mode, establishes a test mode and disables ASIC signals. Responsive to the test enable signal not being set, the ASIC signals are enabled for a functional mode and the testability features on the integrated circuit chip are disabled. When the functional mode is enabled, the test disable logic circuit prevents the test mode from being established while the integrated circuit chip is powered up.
