  • Publication number: 20240134914
    Abstract: A method identifies related data visualizations. A computing device displays a data visualization according to a data source. The data visualization displays of one or more first data fields from the data source, and is displayed according to one or more first metadata fields. The device identifies a collection of predefined data visualizations for the data source. For each element in the collection, the device computes a respective ranking according to a plurality of influence scores, each influence score computed according to comparing data fields and metadata fields of the respective predefined data visualization to the one or more first data fields and the one or more associated first metadata fields. The device then selects a subset of the predefined data visualizations that have top ranking and provides an ordered list of the selected subset, including at least one influence score for each included data visualization.

  • Publication number: 20240118250
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for monitoring column chromatography performance. The methods can include acquiring one or more chromatogram ultraviolet (UV) traces generated by a chromatography system during sample purification and/or separation; and analyzing the one or more acquired chromatogram UV traces with an orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS) model, thereby allowing detection of column deterioration prior to column failure and quantitative analysis of UV signal in the one or more chromatogram UV traces.

  • Patent number: 6758997
    Abstract: A method of forming a trade mark decoration on a soft ribbon stripe comprising the steps of thermal pressing a combination end of the ribbon stripe to cure the texture of the ribbon stripe and increase the gaps of the texture; fastening the combination end onto a mold; mixing ejection molding material with a material similar or alike the material of the ribbon stripe so that these materials can form as one unit when melt; high pressure ejection molding the ribbon stripe to combine with a primary blank plastic material and a produced trade mark pattern being formed on the primary blank plastic material; placing the first ejection molded primary blank plastic material into the mold for second ejection molding and the protruded trade mark pattern being located at a recess of the second mold; and processing to a second ejection molding to enclose the primary blank plastic material at the exterior thereof to form an ornamental article.
