  • Patent number: 11783099
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a surrogate model creation computer system includes a user interface to interact with a subject matter expert to create a scripted physics-based model workflow associated with an industrial asset. The surrogate model creation computer system further includes a surrogate model creation engine to automatically execute the scripted physics-based model workflow, in connection with a physics-based model of the industrial asset, to generate at least one response surface of the physics-based model workflow. The surrogate model creation engine may then use the response surface and a machine learning process to automatically create a surrogate model of the industrial asset. It may then be arranged to output the surrogate model for use by a substantially real-time analytics package associated with the industrial asset. According to some embodiments, scripting for a physics-based model workflow may also be automatically created.

  • Patent number: 10254286
    Abstract: Methods are provided for detecting 5T4-positive circulating tumor cells in a mammalian subject. Methods of diagnosing 5T4-positive cancer in a mammalian subject are provided. The methods of detection or diagnosis indicate the presence of 5T4-positive metastatic cancer or early stage 5T4-positive cancer.

  • Publication number: 20060207817
    Abstract: A latching device and operating mechanism are provided suitable for controlling the opening or closing of a tilting cover such as the hood of a car or truck. The latching device operates to prevent accidental closure of the cover when the cover is open. The operating mechanism is coupled to the latching device for releasing the latching device when the hood is to be shut. The operating mechanism is located on the vehicle near a location from which an operator typically opens or closes the hood.

  • Publication number: 20060208528
    Abstract: A hinge is provided suitable for attaching a hood to a car or truck. The hinge includes generally tubular members sharing a common axis of rotation. Elastomeric elements interposed between the tubular members provide isolation between the parts of the hinge. Relative rotation between the tubular members compresses the elastomeric elements creating a spring-force opposing the relative rotation. The hood, hinge, and vehicle may be configured so that the spring-force of the elastomeric elements assists in opening and/or closing of the hood.

  • Patent number: 6205453
    Abstract: System and method for implementing selectively index enabled multi-column lists in a graphical user interface for a computer system. The graphical user interface contains a table of entries organized by columns. The columns are displayed vertically adjacent to one another. A user selectable vertical line (the divider line) can be moved from an extreme left column position to a position between adjacent columns. When a column is between the divider line and the extreme left column position, the column becomes index enabled. A single column (e.g., the left most column) or multiple columns can be index enabled simultaneously. A column can be positioned between the divider line and the extreme left column position by column reordering, e.g., leaving the divider line in a fixed position and dragging and dropping the column from a position right of the divider line.
