Disclosed are systems and methods which provide management of historical information associated with a medical device, such as an implantable neurostimulation pulse generator, drug pump, cardiac device, hearing enhancement device, or vision enhancement device. Such management of historical information includes storage of historical information within an associated medical device. Historical information stored within a medical device may provide a complete summary of the use, configuration, and operation of the medical device, e.g., information spanning the entire in-service life of the medical device. Historical information for which management is provided may include both static data and dynamic data. The historical information may be used in configuring the medical device, analyzing the operation of the medical device, autonomously altering operation of the medical device, etcetera.

A system and method of profile matching using a multi-media survey is described. The method is capable to capturing the emotional reflex of a user. The method is generalized to categorizing an entity (a user or an object) to specific segment with similar emotional profiles. Each entity can be assigned to an emotional code. Such code can be used as a universal vocabulary in the emotional space for both commerce and consumers to adopt in facilitating communication among different parties.

A system and method for on-line service creation in which end-users of a device using a platform owned by a platform owner may create a service for the device by configuring and linking pre-defined building blocks which function as the logical steps of the service. The system includes integrity checking mechanisms, and, hence, a platform owner does dot need to be involved in the service creation, activation, or execution processes. The system also allows users to modify, copy, and otherwise manipulate services created by other system users, including, for example, platform owners.

The invention is directed to a market price charting method for displaying both current and historical price activity in terms of valuation rather than absolute price.

Results may be displayed electronically or on a hard copy for viewing or used in additional analysis of a market.

An approach is provided for streaming of media streams (e.g., from a game console). In one implementation, a media stream that includes a secondary view of the game world may be generated at the game console. The secondary view may be of a lower-quality version of a primary view of the game world. The generation of the media stream may include: prefetching, to a cache of the game console, portions of the primary view and/or instructions for encoding the portions; and encoding, based on the prefetching, the portions to produce the secondary view. In another implementation, game play information may be executed to reproduce previous game play of a previous game session during a reproduction of the previous game session. Augmentation content may be added to the reproduced game session during the reproduction of the previous game session, creating an augmented game session having one or more views for streaming.

Example implementations described herein involve a system for maintenance predictions generated using a single deep learning architecture. The example implementations can involve managing a single deep learning architecture for three modes including a failure prediction mode, a remaining useful life (RUL) mode, and a unified mode. Each mode is associated with an objective function and a transformation function. The single deep learning architecture is applied to learn parameters for an objective function through execution of a transformation function associated with a selected mode using historical data. The learned parameters of the single deep learning architecture can be applied with streaming data from with the equipment to generate a maintenance prediction for the equipment.

Methods and systems for determining band structure characteristics of high-k dielectric films deposited over a substrate based on spectral response data are presented. High throughput spectrometers are utilized to quickly measure semiconductor wafers early in the manufacturing process. Optical models of semiconductor structures capable of accurate characterization of defects in high-K dielectric layers and embedded nanostructures are presented. In one example, the optical dispersion model includes a continuous Cody-Lorentz model having continuous first derivatives that is sensitive to a band gap of a layer of the unfinished, multi-layer semiconductor wafer. These models quickly and accurately represent experimental results in a physically meaningful manner. The model parameter values can be subsequently used to gain insight and control over a manufacturing process.

A network monitor provides improved understanding of the type of data being transmitted by packets by capturing rendezvous packets, such as domain name server queries and responses, to extract text domain names that may then be associated with later packets using a common numeric addresses. Text domain names intended for human understanding and recollection provide a unique insight into the content of the packets not readily obtained by analysis of the packet data itself.

The present invention relates to a method of interactive visualization and parameter selection for engineering design. Initially, a nominal topology and associated design variables are set. The design variables are treated as being independent of each other for the purposes of a design variable sweep or sensitivity analysis to determine effects of changes in design variables on performance. The results of the sweep are presented to a designer, for example, by a suitable software tool including a graphical user interface. The designer selects design variables and revises their values based on the visually presented results of the sweep and effects a simulation using the revised values. If the results are satisfactory and a stopping condition is satisfied then the method is done. Otherwise, a determination must be made as to whether additional values can be changed or whether a new sweep must be effected. If a sweep is to be made, according the method of the present invention, an optional step is to change to topology prior to sweeping.

An excrement collection device includes a casing having a bottom wall, two opposing first outer sidewalls, and a second outer sidewall connecting the first outer sidewalls; a receiving space defined by the bottom wall, the first outer sidewalls, and the second outer sidewall and divided into a temporary storage region and a collection region, with the temporary storage region disposed between the second outer sidewall and the collection region; a cleansing component disposed in the temporary storage region; and a support component disposed at the top of the temporary storage region and having rotatable support boards. Excrement left behind at home by pets because of defecation and urination is gathered in the collection region to thereby spare pet keepers the hassles of frequent cleansing, prevent exposure of the excrement to air for a long period of time, and preclude a foul-smelling odor otherwise lingering at home.

A compositional simulator that is fully compositional and more robust and accurate is disclosed. Relative permeability (kr) and capillary pressure (Pc) are modeled as state functions, making them unique for a given set of inputs, which can include Euler characteristic, wettability, pore connectivity, saturation, and capillary number. All of these are made to be a function of composition, T, and P or rock properties. These state function kr-Pc models are fully compositional and can fit experimental data, including complex processes such as hysteresis. The models can be tuned to measured relative permeability data, and then give consistent predictions away from that measured data set. Phase labeling problems are eliminated. Flux calculations from one grid block to another are based on phase compositions. Simulations for three or four-phase hydrocarbon phases are possible. Time-step sizes increase to stability limits of implicit-explicit methods. Fully implicit methods are possible and significant improvements are expected.
