Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating allergic diseases such as asthma or atopy including baicalein as an active ingredient. Baicalein is capable of regulating thymic stromal lymphopoietin-mediated signal transduction. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can effectively suppress inflammatory responses of allergic or asthmatic diseases due to the presence of baicalein extracted from Scutellariae Radix that regulates TSLP-mediated intracellular signal transduction to inhibit intracellular phosphorylation of STATS and inhibit the binding of TSLP to TSLPR. In addition, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may further include one or more compounds having synergistic effects with baicalein. In this case, the pharmaceutical composition can more effectively suppress inflammatory responses of allergic diseases such as asthma or atopy.

Abstract: A machine-learning system receives from multiple sensors a set of trace-data time series. Each time series contains a chronological sequence of sensor measurements of one attribute of one instance of a manufacturing product or process. The system partitions each series into a set of contiguous segments and selects one received series to be a standard series for each attribute. The starting and ending measurements of each non-standard time series are then time-aligned to the starting and ending points of the non-standard series' corresponding standard series, using a dynamic time-warping procedure. One or more segments of each aligned non-standard series are then aligned to each segment of the corresponding standard series. The resulting time-aligned, segmented time series are then incorporated into a corpus that is used by a machine-learning module to train a self-learning application.
