A method for non-intrusively monitoring a load including a plurality of appliances includes retrieving a plurality of mathematical models for modeling operation of a respective subset of the appliances. A value of a respective operational parameter is predicted for each of the subsets of appliances. An output of the load is measured. A respective value of each of the operational parameters is calculated based on the mathematical models and the outputs of the load. The predicting, measuring and calculating steps are repeated until a metric pertaining to a difference error between the measured output and the predicted output calculated from the operational parameter and the mathematical models is equal to or below a threshold for one of the subsets of appliances. It is decided that the one subset of appliances is currently operating whose metric pertaining to a difference error is equal to or below the threshold.

Fast and detailed match techniques for speaker recognition are combined into a hybrid system in which speakers are associated in groups when potential confusion is detected between a speaker being enrolled and a previously enrolled speaker. Thus the detailed match techniques are invoked only at the potential onset of saturation of the fast match technique while the detailed match is facilitated by limitation of comparisons to the group and the development of speaker-dependent models which principally function to distinguish between members of a group rather than to more fully characterize each speaker. Thus storage and computational requirements are limited and fast and accurate speaker recognition can be extended over populations of speakers which would degrade or saturate fast match systems and degrade performance of detailed match systems.

A system and method are provided for analyzing layout patterns via simulation using a lithography model to characterize the patterns and generate rules to be used in rule-based optical proximity correction (OPC). The system and method analyze a series of layout patterns conforming to a set of design rules by simulation using a lithography model to obtain a partition of the pattern spaces into one portion that requires only rule-based OPC and another portion that requires model-based OPC.
