  • Patent number: 11720636
    Abstract: A user selects a data source, and a computer displays a data visualization in a data visualization user interface according to the data source. The data visualization includes visual data marks representing data from the data source. The user selects a subset of the visual data marks. In response, the computer displays a view data window having a summary of the selected data marks. The computer obtains a data model encoding the data source as a tree of logical tables. The computer identifies aggregate measures corresponding to the selected data marks, where each aggregate measure is aggregated from logical tables of the data model. The computer displays each aggregate measure in the view data window. The computer also displays, in the view data window, one or more level of detail calculations referenced in the selected subset of visual data marks.

  • Patent number: 11720726
    Abstract: A global computer aided engineering (CAE) model representing an electronic product that contains solder joints and an individual detailed solder joint model are received. The solder joint model can include a solder ball, one or more metal pads, a portion of printed circuit board, and a portion of semiconductor chip component. The global CAE model includes locations of the solder joints to be evaluated in a drop test simulation. The solder joint model is replicated at each location to create a local CAE model via a geometric relationship between the global CAE model and the local CAE model. Simulated physical behaviors of the product under a design condition are obtained in a co-simulation using the global CAE model in a first time scale and the local CAE model in a second time scale. Simulated physical behaviors are periodically synchronized based on kinematic and force constraints.

  • Patent number: 11709979
    Abstract: A bridge damage identification method considering uncertainty is used for damage identification based on a convolutional neural network. A domain classifier is added to form a domain adversarial transfer network, a finite element model of a bridge and a time domain acceleration signal of a real structure serve as input, and parameters in a feature extractor are continuously updated in an adversarial process of the domain classifier and the feature extractor, so as to design a brand-new feature extractor, and to achieve a purpose that extracted features are only sensitive to damage. The bridge damage identification method can solve the problem that model-based methods for bridge damage identification are influenced by environment uncertainty or modeling error to generate a difference between the finite element model and the real structure, resulting in reduction in damage identification performance of the method in practical application.

    Abstract: An optimal dispatching method and system for a wind power generation and energy storage combined system are provided. Uncertainty of a wind turbine output is characterized based on spatio-temporal coupling of the wind turbine output and an interval uncertainty set. Compared with a traditional symmetric interval uncertainty set, the uncertainty set that considers spatio-temporal effects effectively excludes some extreme scenarios with a very small probability of occurrence and reduces conservativeness of a model. A two-stage robust optimal dispatching model for the wind power generation and energy storage combined system is constructed, and a linearization technology and a nested column-and-constraint generation (C&CG) strategy are used to efficiently solve the model.

  • Patent number: 11681460
    Abstract: Scaling of an ordered event stream (OES) based on a characteristic of one or more writer groups is disclosed. Scaling a portion of an OES contemporaneous to writing events into that portion can conserve computing resources in contrast to more conventional scaling techniques. Moreover, scaling an OES contemporaneously with writing events thereto can enable improved management of OES scaling for applications that can both read events from an input portion of an OES and, via interim events and interim portions of an OES, write events to an output portion of an OES. An application instance can therefore simultaneously act as both a reader group and writer group and can manage data via interim OESs, such that effects of passing the data through the interim OESs can be cascaded into a scaling of the output portion of an OES based on the writer group characteristic.
