  • Publication number: 20160370777
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure describes a method executed by a processor. The method includes receiving a signal associated with a process system transitioning from a reduced energy mode to an active mode. The process system includes devices configured to operate based on data acquired by sensors. The method includes determining a difference between a set of actual data acquired by the sensors and a desired operating parameter of the process system. The method includes reducing the difference using a control algorithm based at least in part on a preload value (e.g., a predetermined value representative of data acquired by the sensors) retrieved from a memory device. The method includes determining a set of control signals based in part on the reduced difference and transmitting the set of control signals to the devices, thereby driving a current operating parameter of the process system toward the desired operating parameter.

  • Patent number: 8335758
    Abstract: The data ETL (Extraction-Transformation-Loading) dispatching method of the present invention is applied to a real-time data ETL system, wherein a main ETL dispatching engine executes tasks according to preset sequence. In the execution, some key information are memorized by the main ETL dispatching engine, such as lscycle (latest successful data cycle), curcycle (current processing data cycle), and endcycle (processing end data cycle), etc., and are transferred to called programs. After the execution of the called programs, the main ETL dispatching engine records and keeps the updated dispatching information. In the data re-extraction, the data ETL dispatching method is adopted for the automatic re-extraction of some tasks and some cycles therein.
