Patent number: 10637910Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein describe a client and/or server process for managing Information Technology (IT) assets, such as servers and storage devices. The process dynamically generates customized information objects based on subscription requests. A client generates a request for information. The request specifies information associated with a specific managed entity or IT resource. A server that monitors the specific managed entity does not maintain such information in an existing information object. Information associated with the specific managed entity can be performance information, health information, usage information, and the like. A notification manager receives the request and identifies that existing subscription resources don not contain the requested information. The notification manager generates a new information object that contains the requested information, and notifies the client.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2013Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Stephen G. Graham, Thomas R. Maguire, Xiaotao Liu

Patent number: 10358771Abstract: Automated parameter tuning techniques for cross-directional model predictive control for paper-making under user-specified parametric uncertainties to reduce variability of the actuator and measurement profiles in the spatial domain is proposed. Decoupling properties of the spatial and temporal frequency components permit separate controller design and parameter tuning. CD-MPC design that explicitly accounts for parametric model uncertainty while finding MPC cost function weighing matrices that prevent actuator picketing and guarantee robust stability of the spatial CD profile. Picketing refers to periodic variation patterns in the actuator array.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Honeywell LimitedInventors: Ning He, Xiaotao Liu, Michael Forbes, Johan Backstrom, Tongwen Chen

Patent number: 10309059Abstract: Automated parameter tuning techniques for cross-directional model predictive control for paper-making under user-specified parametric uncertainties are developed. The CD-MPC design explicitly accounts for parametric model uncertainty while finding a value for the CD profile trajectory generation that minimizes the CD settling time of the measurement 2 sigma spread and does not exceed an overshoot limit for actuator 2 sigma spread. The inventive technique includes: (i) providing uncertainty specifications for the temporal parameters of the process model, (ii) specifying 2 sigma overshoot limits for the CD actuator profile, (iii) using robust stability theory to find a minimum bound for the profile trajectory tuning parameter, (iv) using a frequency domain technique to reduce the search range for the profile trajectory tuning parameter, and (v) performing an intelligent search for the tuning parameter that minimizes measurement 2 sigma settling time without exceeding the actuator 2 sigma overshoot limit.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Ning He, Xiaotao Liu, Michael Forbes, Johan Backstrom, Tongwen Chen

Patent number: 9829729Abstract: A display panel and a detection method thereof are provided. Wireless signals are transmitted to a gate-line wireless sensing electrode connected to gate lines and a data-line wireless sensing electrode connected to data lines that are preset at a dummy zone of the display panel (1, 1?), respectively, through wireless signal transmitting electrodes (6) connected to a transmitter, so as to generate a gate-line detection signal and a data-line detections signal, thereby realizing detection of the display panel. The gate-line wireless sensing electrode and the data-line wireless sensing electrode are formed at the dummy zone on the array substrate (1, 1?) in the technological process of producing the gate lines and the data lines of the array substrate of the display panel, respectively. Therefore, poorness of a display can be detected without cutting of a display panel (1, 1?), poorness is detected early, and repair is made timely.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignees: BOE TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD., HEFEI BOE OPTOELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Ming Li, Yong Sub Kim, Xiaotao Liu

Patent number: 9773962Abstract: A BÏ2212 article may be formed by mixing metallic precursor powders including bismuth, strontium, calcium and copper in an oxygen-free atmosphere, mechanically alloying the metallic precursor powders in an oxygen-free atmosphere, and heating the metallic precursor alloy according to a temperature profile. The profile may include a ramp-up stage during which the alloy is heated to a peak temperature in an oxygen-free atmosphere, a dwell stage during which the alloy is held at the peak temperature for a dwell time, and a ramp-down stage during which the alloy is cooled from the peak temperature. During at least a portion of the dwell stage, the oxygen-free atmosphere is switched to an oxygen-inclusive atmosphere, wherein the alloy is oxidized to form a superconducting oxide, which may be sintered during or after oxidation. The alloy may be formed into a shape, such as a wire, prior to oxidizing.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2013Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: North Carolina State UniversityInventors: Justin Schwartz, Carl C. Koch, Yun Zhang, Xiaotao Liu
