  • Publication number: 20240087104
    Abstract: One variation of a method for monitoring manufacture of assembly units includes: receiving selection of a target location hypothesized by a user to contain an origin of a defect in assembly units of an assembly type; accessing a feature map linking non-visual manufacturing features to physical locations within the assembly type; for each assembly unit, accessing an inspection image of the assembly unit recorded by an optical inspection station during production of the assembly unit, projecting the target location onto the inspection image, detecting visual features proximal the target location within the inspection image, and aggregating non-visual manufacturing features associated with locations proximal the target location and representing manufacturing inputs into the assembly unit based on the feature map; and calculating correlations between visual and non-visual manufacturing features associated with locations proximal the target location and the defect for the set of assembly units.

  • Publication number: 20220087961
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of treating an autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1) with a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I), in particular CLTX-305, wherein the therapeutically effective amount of the compound increases a blood calcium concentration (cCa) to a range of about 7.5 mg/dL to about 10.5 mg/dL, such as about 8.5 mg/dL to about 10.5 mg/dL. Also provided herein is a dosing finding method for treating an autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1) with a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or CLTX-305 according to one or more dosing regimens.

  • Publication number: 20180089193
    Abstract: A category-based data analysis system for processing stored data-units and calculating their relevance to a subject domain with exemplary precision over Web and electronic document searches. A central processor parses a search definition comprising queries against target data sources, and a Boolean expression before launching a plurality of search engines. The Boolean expression and subexpressions comprise individual key-phrases and categories of key-phrases. Fine control of natural language matching behavior is controlled by parameters at the category and key-phrase level. The search engine reads data-units from a plurality of data sources, evaluates relevance, and stores metadata with the data-unit comprising relevance data by key-phrase and category. These results can be further analyzed by SQL query engines, spreadsheets, and Business Intelligence tools. A computer-implemented method for identifying from a broad range of data sources, social entities that perform the function of Social Influencers.

  • Patent number: 8109572
    Abstract: The wheelchair comprises a seat back a module (2) movably coupled to a seat module (5). Two lateral plates (10, 10?) are secured to the seat back module (2) and pivotally mounted on the seat module (5). Each of said plate is provided with a recess (18, 18?) adapted to lodge an excenter member (19) comprising two parallel side faces (26, 27) and being perforated by three holes (21, 22 and 23), adapted to receive a spring release locking pins for locking the angle position of said seat back module. Due to the positioning of said three holes and the possibility of lodging the excenter member with either one of its two side faces (26 or 27) inside the recess (18), five different locking angle positions of the seat back module are possible.

  • Publication number: 20080034922
    Abstract: To degas a molten metal, a receptacle containing the molten metal and a layer of slag over the molten metal is positioned in a chamber, and the chamber is evacuated. As the pressure in the chamber reduces, gas is generated at the interface between the molten metal and the slag, which causes the slag to foam. To inhibit overflowing of slag from the receptacle, a gauge outputs a signal indicative of the level of the surface of the slag, and the rate of evacuation of the chamber is reduced to reduce the rate of gas generation.
