Abstract: A method including identifying, a first message of a plurality of messages to be handled by a first controller, the first message representing a first data, obtaining a syntax information of the first message, obtaining a logical information of the first message, including a first data unit type, obtaining a semantic information of the first message, the semantic information including a concept represented by the first message, identifying a second message of the plurality of messages, the second message being handled by a second controller, wherein the second message is compatible with the first message, wherein the second message has the same syntax information, the same logical information, or the same semantic information as the first message, determining a data transformation to convert the second message to the first message, and generating a pipeline of primitive code blocks to perform the data transformation on the first controller.

Abstract: A method including initializing, by a first controller, a connection to a network wherein a plurality of controllers are connected to the network, wherein the first controller is configured to process a first data type, querying, by the first controller, a data model for information about the network and the plurality of controllers connected to the network, identifying, by the first controller, in response to the query to the data model, a second controller of the plurality of controllers that is configured to process a second data type that is compatible with the first data type, and reconfiguring, by the first controller, a communication protocol used by the first controller for communicating with the network to communicate with the second controller based at least in part on identifying the second controller from the data model.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processor that is connected to a network, an indication of a first controller connecting to the network, the indication including a first unique identifier for the first controller, querying a data model for information about the first controller based at least in part on the first unique identifier for the first controller, wherein the information includes a first data type that is processed by the first controller, identifying, in response to the query of the data model, a second controller that is connected to the network that processes a second data type that is compatible with the first data type, the second controller having a second unique identifier, and integrating the first controller into the network including transmitting the first unique identifier to the second controller and transmitting the second unique identifier to the first controller.

Abstract: A computer system and a computer-implemented method are provided for interactively displaying a three-dimensional rendering of a structure having a lumen and for indicating regions of abnormal wall structure. A three-dimensional volume of data is formed from a series of two-dimensional images representing at least one physical property associated with the three-dimensional structure. An isosurface of a selected region of interest is created by a computer from the volume of data based on a selected value or values of a physical property representing the selected region of interest. A wireframe model of the isosurface is generated by the computer wherein the wireframe model includes a plurality of vertices. The vertices are then grouped into populations of contiguous vertices having a characteristic indicating abnormal wall structure by the computer. The wireframe model is then rendered by the computer in an interactive three-dimensional display to indicate the populations of abnormal wall structure.

Abstract: A hydraulic torque-coupling assembly that includes a pressure relief valve with an annular solenoid actuator assembly that moves axially to engage an annular valve actuator ring to selectively close a pressure relief valve disposed on the outer face of a torque-coupling case. The annular solenoid assembly does not include a conventional armature so that the coil portion of the solenoid actuator assembly moves into and out of engagement with the annular valve actuator ring. The valve actuator ring rotates with the torque-coupling case, however, the solenoid assembly does not rotate. The valve actuator ring and solenoid assembly are mounted outside the differential case. A variable amount of electrical current is applied to the solenoid assembly so that the release pressure of the pressure relief valve assembly is selectively based on the magnitude of an electric current supplied to the solenoid assembly.

Abstract: A drive system designed to use a vehicle's existing hydraulic system to operate a controllable limited slip differential assembly. The limited slip differential assembly may be associated with the front axle, the rear axle, or the driveline between the front and rear axles. The differential assembly may also be used in combination that includes front, rear, or intermediate differential assemblies. The drive system further includes a friction clutch assembly for selectively engaging and disengaging an input member with an output member of the differential assembly, a fluid clutch actuator for selectively frictionally and variably loading the clutch assembly, and a fluid pump that is a common source of pressurized fluid for the fluid clutch actuator and the existing hydraulic system of the motor vehicle other than the fluid clutch actuator of the drive system. The fluid clutch actuator is actuated by fluid pressure generated by the fluid pump.

Abstract: Facilitating the processing of requests for status of an application for a credit card or other financial instrument. An applicant for the financial instrument provides a request for status of the application, including with the request information related to an identification of the applicant. The request is validated using the identification information, and status information related to the request is obtained, if available. Based upon the validation and status information, if available, the status information is selectively providing to the applicant via a non-voice communication such as in an e-mail or web page.
