The system is capable of attaching nodes (110) with different node spacing between some or all nodes along the main carrier rope (101).

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a distributed analytics operation. The distributed analytics operation uses interface technologies to de-couple an actual data storage technology from an implementation of distributed analytics. Such a distributed analytics operation obviates requirements to deploy specific computer code onto a data storage platform to specifically target that platform for distributed predictive analytics computations.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for analysis and characterization of manufacturing information such as process trees or genealogies using graph theory. More specifically, using graph theory to analyze manufacturing information of a manufacturing operation allows for deep analysis of relationships between batches or units in a process tree and their closeness or distance, to identify clusters associated with specific quality characteristics or problems, to identify common antecedents of specifically labeled batches (e.g., problem batches), and/or to detect overall desirable or undesirable characteristics of the process tree (e.g., centrality, etc.).

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed performing an optimization operation. The optimization operation optimizes continuous processes by identifying process states associated with specific ranges for a limited subset of control parameter inputs. In certain embodiments, the optimization operation states comprise clear, stable, and robust process states. Such an optimization operation provides a simpler and cost effective means to optimize continuous processes. Additionally, such an optimization operation is applicable more rapidly to a wider range of real-world operational issues as they occur regularly in continuous process scenarios.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for extracting the samples from big data to extract most information about the relationships of interest between dimensions and variables in the data repository. More specifically, extracting information from large data repositories follows an adaptive process that uses systematic sampling procedures derived from optimal experimental designs to target from a large data set specific observations with information value of interest for the analytic task under consideration. The application of adaptive optimal design to guide exploration of large data repositories provides advantages over known big data technologies.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for producing materials for construction and for dust control utilizing enzyme producing cells, an amount of a nitrogen source such as urea, and an amount of calcium such as calcium chloride. Calcium contributes to the formation of calcium carbonate which creates a solid structure, layer or shield. Compositions of the invention can be sprayed or otherwise applied to surfaces for erosion control, foundation support, prevention of sink hole formation or other applications. Ammonia, water and other by-products of the process can be recycled and re-utilized for the same or other purposes including, for example, as fertilizers and energy sources, or independently fermented from selectively cultivated microorganisms.

Abstract: A modular symmetrical asphalt pumping system providing a series of field-configurable gear pumps and meters usable to safely and efficiently pump viscous molten fluids, such as, asphalt and similar bituminous materials. The system utilizes highly symmetrical physical geometries and modular components to allow for the development of multiple pump configurations using a reduced quantity of parts. Preferred arrangements of the system reduce pump pulsing and cavitation.

Abstract: An LED module for a luminaire has a downwardly directed heat sink comprising cooling fins that extend rearward from the module's front end and downward from its top wall, which has a top face that abuts the underside of a luminaire carrier plate. A circuit board carrying at least one LED is mounted on the front face, and a prism is mounted to the heat sink over the LED(s). The front (light-emitting) face of the catadioptric prism has several prominent side-by-side sections which emit beam patterns that diverge laterally and overlap in a central region. A prominent full-width upper section on the front face emits a primarily downwardly directed beam pattern to help fill in dark spots.
