  • Publication number: 20200210775
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automatically pre-processing data to generate a single view of the data that is suitable for machine learning and data analytics operations. Multiple data sets are joined together using one or more primary keys if raw data in the data sets have a same frequency. On the other hand, if raw data in the data sets do not have the same frequency, then for raw data in data sets having a different frequency than data in a user-specified base data set, the raw data is normalized and resampled. The normalized and resampled data in the data sets is further aggregated based on timestamps associated with the base data set, and the data sets are then joined to the base data set using one or more primary keys. The joined data sets can be stored and used to train machine learning models and/or for data analytics operations.

  • Patent number: 4364265
    Abstract: A method of providing an efficiently running internal combustion engine including the steps of operating an engine at a constant rpm while increasing the torque load on the engine, measuring the torque value at predetermined intervals of the torque load to obtain a brake mean effective pressure for each of the intervals, and measuring the fuel consumption at the predetermined intervals. The common log of the brake mean effective pressure is plotted against the common log of the fuel consumption for each interval to obtain a straight line curve (10) which extends linearly with a constant first slope to a D-point coordinate (16) after which it continues at a different second slope. A straight line extension (20) is plotted having the first slope and extending upwardly from the D-point coordinate (16).
