  • Publication number: 20240076055
    Abstract: A system and method for collecting and analyzing time sequences of signal data produced by a product development effort including but not limited to aircraft signals. A time sequence signal data analyzer receives a signal event specification, searches time sequenced signal data for time slices that meet the signal event specification, analyzes a located time slice that meets the event specification to determine if it satisfies a criterion; and generates a data structure that (a) indicates a portion of the time sequenced signal data that meets the signal event specification and (b) indicates whether or not the portion of the time sequenced signal data that meets the event specification satisfies the analysis criterion or criteria.

  • Publication number: 20230368531
    Abstract: According to disclosed embodiments, an event detection framework is provided to detect key events or actions on videos. According to some embodiments, a method is provided to detect an event using the event detection framework by retrieving a frame sequence depicting an event, the frame sequence having a plurality of frames; extracting a feature from each frame of the plurality of frames; combining the extracted features to generate an input matrix; applying an event detection model the input matrix to generate an output matrix; and, determining, based on the output matrix, the event depicted by the frame sequence.

  • Publication number: 20200263187
    Abstract: A method for the production of a functional prokaryotic membrane transporter protein in a eukaryotic host organism comprising the following steps: obtaining a DNA construct by ligating a DNA coding sequence of a prokaryotic membrane transporter protein to the N-terminal and/or C-terminal DNA coding sequences of a eukaryotic membrane protein; introducing the obtained DNA construct in the eukaryotic host organism for the production of the functional prokaryotic membrane transporter protein.

  • Publication number: 20130341925
    Abstract: The present invention provides an inexpensive and environmentally friendly system and method for producing energy utilizing a gravitation drip technique. A clean burning liquid fuel is dripped from an upper container into a lower container that houses a heat-absorbing substrate. A combustion reaction is initiated between the fuel and the heat absorbing substrate to produce a continuous flame. Thermal energy from the flame and the combustion process is retained by the heat-absorbing substrate. The thermal energy from the flame and/or heat-absorbing substrate can be harvested to convert water into steam. This steam energy can be harnessed to generate mechanical energy and produce electricity.
