Abstract: An approach is provided for rationalizing operational data. Persisted knowledge of previous data transactions is determined to not include a previous data profile matching a current data profile. Stochastic data sampling generates a sample of a current dataset. Data size and shape corrections are determined and updated by iterations of a statistical inference technique. Data in the sample is corrected by using the data size and shape corrections to provide a confidence level exceeding a threshold. Persisted knowledge configurations are updated with parameters of the statistical inference technique, the data size and shape corrections, and filtering rule(s). A recommended modification of a query of a current data transaction is determined to provide data in the current dataset with the level of confidence exceeding the threshold. The recommended modification is applied to the query.

Abstract: A driver assistance system including at least a first camera. The first camera can be configured to obtain image data of a region external to the host vehicle. Lane detection analysis can be performed on the image data to identify a region of interest in the image data. The region of interest can be divided into portions. Each portion can be analyzed to determine whether it includes the characteristics of an under-vehicle region. When an under-vehicle region is detected a portion of the image adjacent an under-vehicle region can be analyzed to determine whether it includes an image of another vehicle. A distance between the another vehicle and the host vehicle can be determined using the image data. A threat analysis can be performed to provide a level of threat posed by the another vehicle to the host vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems for predicting crude oil blend compatibility and optimizing blends for increasing heavy crude oil processing are described. The method includes receiving ratios of physical parameters of crude oils for optimization of crude oil blend. The physical parameter ratios are based on Kinematic Viscosity (V), Sulphur (S), Carbon Residue (C), and American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity.

The K model is developed by coefficients obtained by regression analysis between the ratios of physical parameters of known crude oils and composite compatibility measure determined from multiple compatibility test results of the known crude oils. The predicted crude oil blend compatibility can be used for optimizing heavy crude oil processing.
