Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing data, the data including a set of one or more system inputs; and a set of one or more system outputs; wherein each system output corresponds to a respective system input. Each system input can include a plurality of data points, such that at least one of these data points is from a different data source to at least one other of those data points. The method includes performing a kernel function on a given system input from the data and a further system input to provide kernelised data; and inferring a value indicative of a significance of data from a particular data source; wherein the inferring includes applying a regression technique to the kernelised data.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for preparing aluminum and aluminum alloy surfaces in heat exchangers for brazing by depositing thereon a kinetic sprayed brazing composition. The process simultaneously deposits monolith or composite coatings that can include all braze materials and corrosion protection materials used in the brazing of aluminum fins to plates and tubes in a single stage.

Abstract: A work vehicle adapted to be towed from one job site to the next at highway speeds, and then converted upon reaching a job site to be self-propelling. The towable work vehicle includes lift arms with an attachment system allowing for ready attachment to, and detachment from, a variety of materials handling attachments that are used to perform diverse tasks at the job site. Tow arms attachable to the towing vehicle may be swept forward when not in use to a position underneath the vehicle so as to not interfere with work operations at the job site. A ballast system in one form uses movable weights to allow redistribution of weight on the vehicle to convert the vehicle between towing and operational modes, and in another form uses a fluid fillable tank to allow ballast to be added for use of the vehicle on a job site.
