A data processing system processes data sets (such as low-resolution transaction data) into high-resolution data sets by mapping generic information into attribute-based specific information that is stored in a database. The extracting frequent pattern information from the database using frequent pattern growth techniques, a compact frequent pattern tree data structure efficiently holds frequent pattern information for multiple transactions having one or more items in each transaction. Frequent pattern data is transformed for ease of use with rule generation algorithms by removing redundant information (such as part group items) or by consolidating items corresponding to a part group and replacing those items with a proxy item for purposes of power set generation.

A bank angle of a vehicle can be accurately calculated using yaw axis data and roll axis data, and based on the calculated bank angle, vehicle illumination optics can be controlled to maintain a pattern of distributed light from the illumination optics to be generally horizontal. The calculated bank angle may be zeroed when the yaw axis data equals zero. The improved pattern of distributed light from the illumination optics illuminates a more natural field of view for the vehicle driver during a bank. In some embodiments, the vehicle illumination optics can include a primary illumination group and a plurality of side illumination groups.

A data processing system processes data sets (such as low-resolution transaction data) into high-resolution data sets by mapping generic information into attribute-based specific information that may be processed to identify frequent sets therein. When association rules are generated from such frequent sets, the complexity and/or quantity of such rules may be managed by removing redundancies from the rules, such as by removing rules providing only trivial associations, removing rules having only a part group as the consequent, modifying rules to remove redundant antecedent items and/or filtering subsumed rules from the generated rule set that do not provide sufficient lift to meet an adjustable specialization lift threshold requirement.

The invention relates to a chocolate-coated dried fruit and vegetable (crisp chip) and a preparation method thereof. The components are calculated in parts by weight: 50-90 parts of dried fruits and vegetables (crisp chips), and 10-50 parts of chocolate pulp. The following process steps are adopted: select fresh and undamaged fruits and vegetables such as apples, strawberries, bananas, cucumbers, carrots, sweet potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, lettuce, lotus root, celery, etc. Color and other pretreatments, with or without seasoning treatment; then vacuum freeze-drying or vacuum microwave drying, control the moisture content to about 5%; immerse the dried fruits and vegetables (crisp chips) in chocolate syrup or spray on one side layer, and the thickness of the coating is 1-10mm; after cooling, carry out air-filled packaging to obtain the finished product. This will help improve the taste and flavor of high-fiber dried fruits and vegetables (crisps), and increase product diversity through further processing of dried fruits and vegetables (crisps), which will help increase the added value and market value of products.

A tape substrate including an insulating film, a copper foil pattern formed on the insulating film at one side of the insulating film, and provided with a connecting area where an electronic element is to be mounted, a barrier layer plated on the copper foil pattern at the connecting area, and formed with a plurality of pores, and a tin layer plated on the barrier layer, and alloyed with a portion of the copper foil pattern corresponding to the connecting area, through the pores. A method for fabricating the tape substrate is also disclosed. In accordance with the invention, it is possible to reduce the time taken for the copper foil pattern to come into contact with the electroless tin plating solution used in the tin plating process, thereby preventing the copper component of the copper foil pattern from being eluted. Accordingly, there is no open-circuit fault caused by formation of pores. The barrier layer makes it possible to obtain an improved plating efficiency and to reduce the thickness of the alloy layer. In addition, the barrier layer serves to reduce internal stress generated at the interface between the tin layer and the copper foil pattern, thereby suppressing formation of voids. Accordingly, there is an effect of preventing a short circuit caused by the growth of whiskers.

Current monitoring systems often provide the operating condition of a specific component and do not consider the impact of a specific failure upon an entire system or a business. Nor do the current systems provide an avenue for the business to predict the loss, as well as its impact, and make an educated decision of mitigating the loss based upon economic, environmental, and health and safety considerations. Methods and systems are provided for predicting loss events, impacts of loss events, and providing potential corrective measures to reduce or eliminate the occurrence or impact of the loss events. One aspect relates to the use of system-wide information to predict variables that are directly linked to business impact, such as production loss. Extraneous and transactional data are also utilized according to other aspects of the invention.
