  • Publication number: 20250028900
    Abstract: A method and Graphic User Interface (GUI) system of data analysis for training a discriminative machine learning model are provided. One or more sets of data are provided to a large language model (LLM) for a predefined task with or without prompts provided by a user; the results output by the LLM is compared with a set of initial human-supplied ground truth data generated by the user to produce performance metrics, the user may provide or update one or more prompts for the LLM based on the performance metrics till the performance metrics reach a threshold. The set of initial human-supplied ground truth data and the results of the LLM can be used to train a discriminative machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20230154354
    Abstract: A wearable birthing simulator and method of operating thereof are disclosed. The simulator includes a housing that is securable to a subject and the housing defines an opening. Positioned within the housing is a uterus simulator and a removable fetal model contained therein. Coupled to the uterus simulator is a birth canal simulator. A birthing device comprises an actuator assembly in communication with the controller for automatically moving the fetal model towards the birth canal simulator. One or more sensors are mounted to the housing and are electrically connected to the controller for detecting movement of the fetal model by the birthing device. The feedback device is configured to provide the haptic feedback to the subject in response the movement of the fetal model toward the birth canal simulator. The disclosed simulator may be used to simulate a variety of childbirth scenarios.

  • Patent number: 8200783
    Abstract: A field mountable interface module is provided. The intelligent interface module includes at least one data connection port configured to couple to a data communication network as well as at least one process communication connection port configured to couple to a field device bus. The intelligent interface module also includes a controller and memory coupled to the controller. The controller is configured to provide a higher order function with respect to one or more field devices and/or field device buses. Higher order functions include calibration support, complex device support, diagnostic support, distributed control system support, and virtual field device functions.

  • Publication number: 20070288890
    Abstract: A structured product application can be configured by an administrator of a first version of the structured product application by configuring at least one field, configuring at least one view, or configuring at least one permission, and storing the attributes of at least one field, at least one view, and at least one permission. Upon a change to a property of the structured product, the administrator reconfigures the first version of the structured product application to create a second version of the structured product application by either reconfiguring at least one field, adding or deleting a field, reconfiguring at least one view, adding or deleting a view, reconfiguring at least one permission, or adding or deleting a permission. The reconfigured attributes of at least one field, at least one view, and at least one permission are then stored.

  • Publication number: 20070191970
    Abstract: A process variable transmitter for use with a removable operator interface has a non-volatile memory and a latching component. The non-volatile memory stores device settings. The latching component prohibits changes to transmitter settings if the removable operator interface is absent. Circuitry in the transmitter detects the presence of the removable operator interface. The removable operator interface can include zero and span settings.

  • Publication number: 20070049427
    Abstract: By excluding shot attempts on which a player is fouled, current methods used to track shooting proficiency in basketball do not display the consequences of a player's poor free throw shooting as directly and simply as POPPS. Under POPPS, field goal shot attempts of all kinds are included in one statistical expression—points per shot—and a field goal attempt on which a player is fouled is included in his/her POPPS shot attempts. Then, any points scored on the ensuing free throws are included as points scored on that field goal attempt. This new method provides the simplest and most comprehensive composite of shooting proficiency.

  • Publication number: 20060152380
    Abstract: A diaphragm diagnostic system for use in an industrial field device has a diaphragm and a diagnostic feature. The diaphragm is configured to couple the field device to a process fluid and has a plurality of layers. A first layer of the plurality of layers is exposed to process fluid of an industrial process. A diagnostic feature is coupled to the diaphragm to monitor an electrical parameter of the diaphragm and responsively infer an operative state of the diaphragm based on a change in the monitored electrical parameter.
