  • Publication number: 20090203527
    Abstract: The invention provides an improved method for creating a formulation using a solid chemical agent in solution within a reservoir, and treating crops within a storage facility with an aerosol of the solution substantially at the time of use. The method includes having a premixing section for formulating the solution and mixing solid with a solvent in a premixing section. Further the solution may be heated by circulating it through a substantially instantaneous heater then channeling the solution into a commercial fogger, generating an aerosol of the CIPC solution, and providing said storage facility with said aerosol.

  • Patent number: 7308378
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the classification of a signal, or the identification of an object is provided. Based on rough set theory, or data mining, a training data set is partitioned and labeled with a multi-class entropy method. Reducts are calculated from a subset of the best-performing columns of the partitioned and labeled training set data. These reducts are applied to test signals and combined for each signal classification. The present system and method produces a more accurate, robust and efficient classification result.

  • Patent number: 7035754
    Abstract: A system for determining accurate solutions for object classification problems is provided. The system is generally for identifying an object, wherein the object is represented by a signal. The system includes a computer system, a training information data set, a labeler, a reduct calculator a testing information data set and a reduct classification fuser.

  • Publication number: 20040054499
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the classification of a signal, or the identification of an object is provided. Based on rough set theory, or data mining, a training data set (105) is partitioned (105) and labeled (125) with a multi-class entropy method. Reducts (145) are calculated from a sub-set of the best-performing columns (130) of the partitioned and labeled training set data. These reducts are applied to test signals and combined for each signal classification. The present system and method produces a more accurate, robust and efficient classification result.
