Abstract: An anomaly detection system may receive uniformly spaced digital data from a plurality of sensors connected to the monitored system and physical model parameters specific to components of the monitored system. An orthogonal function processor generates an initial set of orthogonal kernel basis functions to process the digital data to detect signature anomalies. An adaptive analysis is performed based on the number of feature components and the width of each feature component. When the number of feature components is greater than the basis functions, additional basis functions are used for reprocessing. When the feature width is less than the basis function, the resolution of the basis function is increased and reprocessing of digital data is performed. Based on the adaptive analysis of each feature component, signature anomalies are identified and displayed.

Abstract: One example includes a method for validating a circuit design. The method includes providing a set of coded rules. Each of the coded rules can define conditions for circuit cells to qualify the circuit design as being radiation-hardened. The method also includes accessing a circuit design netlist associated with the circuit design from a circuit design database. The method also includes evaluating each of the circuit cells in the circuit design netlist with respect to each of the coded rules. The method further includes providing a circuit evaluation report comprising an indication of failure of a set of the circuit cells with respect to one or more of the coded rules in response to the evaluation.

Abstract: A vehicle roof top bicycle carrier and lifting apparatus has a roof rack with a power bike lift assembly pivotally secured thereto. Multiple interlinked pivoted linkage elements have a bike receiving boom extension pivotally secured to the roof rack. A remote-control power lift cylinder pivotally engages the linkage elements deploying the lift boom for lifting and attach bike to the roof rack for transport.

Abstract: The inventive grill uses slide coal technology, which allows coal to be put into a hopper, positioned to one side of the grill, and then has a slide chute connected to the hopper which uses gravity to slide the coal, at an angle down to a burn box which is positioned directly below the grill body. Heat obviously rises and having the burn box offset from the hopper is going to use less coal. It will use less coal both when in operation and also once it's been turned off (closing both dampers). The reason it uses less coal is because the slide and hopper are not vertically above the burn box and thus receive less heat.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel extended release pharmaceutical compositions of levetiracetam and preparations and characterizations thereof. This invention further relates to using these extended release pharmaceutical compositions of levetiracetam for the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with central nervous system (CNS) disorders in a subject in need or at risk thereof.

Abstract: Various examples are described for the integration and customization of third-party applications and services with computing infrastructure of a data center. One or more computing devices can maintain a remote computing environment for an enterprise that provides at least one remote computing service on behalf of the enterprise. A portal can be provided that is configured to, from an entity not associated with the remote computing environment, receive a specification of information associated with one of a plurality of third-party services and compatibility criteria of the one of the third-party services. Existing infrastructure used by the remote computing environment in providing the at least one remote computing service is identified. Third-party services that are compatible with the existing infrastructure is identified and presented in a console in association with operation of the remote computing environment.

Abstract: A freight transport carrier comprises a tractor unit, a slave tray loading unit, and a slave tray actuation mechanism. The tractor unit comprises a chassis, a plurality of wheels coupled to the chassis, and a power source configured to selectively provide rotational motion to the plurality of wheels. The slave tray loading unit is coupled to the chassis of the tractor unit and comprises a plurality of slave trays. At least one of the plurality of slave trays is an actuatable slave tray that is selectively actuatable between a first or lowered position, in which the actuatable slave tray is configured to receive a load, and a second or raised position, in which the actuatable slave tray is configured to transport the load. The slave tray actuation mechanism is configured to selectively actuate the actuatable slave tray between the first or lowered position and the second or raised position.

Abstract: Provided are tissue products containing an additive adapted to reduce skin irritation, such as a lotion, and a colorant may be manufactured with relatively low total add-on amounts of the additive without reducing effectiveness, while providing the product with a distinct aesthetic appearance. In a specific embodiment, the additive composition comprises an oil, a wax, and a colorant comprising a pigment and a wetting agent. The additive and colorant, which are preferably both hydrophobic and non-aqueous, are be added simultaneously and in the same pattern so as to provide a tissue product having a distinct aesthetic appearance that also provides a cue to the user that the product comprises a soothing additive. In certain instances an aesthetic pattern, particularly a coloured pattern, provides a visual cue to the user and reinforces the benefits of the product, enabling lower additive add-on levels without degrading the user experience.
