Systems and methods for customizing business logic rules within a business process automation system and for processing business logic rules in a business process automation system are disclosed. The method for customizing business rules of a business logic application generally comprises serving a content page to a client browser of a client by a server that allows entering and modifying of data relating to a business logic rule, generating data by the server according to a predefined format such as a predefined XML format from information received via the content page, and automatically committing the generated data in the predefined format into a database. Preferably, a verification process such as by using DTDs (Document Type Definitions) is performed by the server prior to committing the data. The database stores data including data relating to business logic rules for implementing business logic as entries in the database and the generated data is committed into a corresponding entry in the database. Upon committing, the committed database business rule entry is ready for execution by the business logic application.

When a financial improvement is determined according to the logical rules, an alert is generated and sent to the client, allowing the client to adjust a collection strategy.

A method for generating a workflow on a computer. Assessment data, e.g. defining a need, is obtained from a user. Based thereon, a workflow including a logical sequence of interdependent steps to be made is created using an assessment system. A number of workflow steps are presented to the user in a logical order, and results from the progress of one or more steps may be gathered. The workflow may be modified thereon, if needed, using sub-solutions, logic rules, inference rules and said results by adding and / or removing steps to / from said workflow based on a list of purposes and knowledge of the order in which some or all steps must be made. After modifying the workflow, the presentation thereof is started by the next or more unfinished steps which are not dependent on an unfinished step, thereby forming an adaptive procedure.

Automated logical rule weight learning in the computer vision domain applies a rule weight optimization method which casts the instantiated inference tree as a knowledge-based neural network, to converge upon a set of rule weights that give optimal performance within the bilattice framework. Applications are in (a) detecting the presence of humans under partial occlusions and (b) detecting large complex man made structures in satellite imagery (c) detection of spatio-temporal human and vehicular activities in video and (c) parsing of Graphical User Interfaces.

A computer system creates and maintains an index for tracking information relating to individuals. Such information can include, but is not limited to, social security numbers, names, address information, credit bureau identification numbers, and credit history information on individuals. The invention employs logical rules to this information in order to create and maintain a set of files for each individual. The logical rules can include social security rules, geography rules, and address ranking rules. The invention is designed to evaluate slight variations in information very carefully in order to insure that appropriate files are assigned the same index identification number or that appropriate records are assigned separate and different index identification numbers as a situation warrants. The present invention is designed to maintain numerous files for each individual being tracked instead of merging and purging files as is done in the conventional art.

A system for dynamically integrating changes in rules governing business operations into a rule-implementing application program includes a dynamic business logic rule integrator (“DBLRI”) that provides rules to the application software as executable routines. The DBLRI presents to a user one or more GUIs through which the user writes functional-language expressions for the rules. The GUIs provide menus of associated functions, operators and parameters that are available for use. The set of parameters associated with a given GUI is dynamically updated, to correspond to changes in the underlying business logic rules. The user writes and / or edits the expressions by selectively combining the available functions, operators and parameters. The DBLRI evaluates the functional expressions and produces associated executable parse trees or DLLs, which the application software then calls at appropriate times. The DBLRI operates also with a dynamically configurable database that provides parameters required for the rules as the rules are updated, added and / or revised.

A apparatus implemented using a programmable computer that automatically generates the rules required by a software rules engine as a process flow diagram is designed. The apparatus includes a developer interface; an editing interface, and a rules generator. A developer interface enables the user to define functions and variables together with their properties from the business application. An editing interface allows the user to define the logical rules the business would follow in performing the business application by constructing a process flow diagram and associated tables using the functions and variables defined in the developer interface. The rules generator then automatically parses the flow diagrams and tables defined by the business user and, using the functions and variables defined in the developer interface, generates rules for a rules engine. The rules can then be deployed to a controller that implements the process automatically based on the input rules.

A system dynamically integrates into an application program that implements rules for controlling business operations changes in the parameters and parameter groupings that are used by or in conjunction with the rules. The system includes a dynamic business logic rule integrator that provides business logic rules to the application software as executable routines, and a dynamic parameter manager that organizes and manages the parameters. The manager integrates changes to the parameters, groups and / or links the parameters, and makes the parameters available to the rules through a dynamically configurable system database—using a set of static database tables and related dynamically configurable database tables, in which certain database fields or sub-fields correspond to parameters that are used in the rules. The respective database tables and the various fields and sub-fields are established and linked together in accordance with user-defined categories and sub-categories, or “instances.” When parameters are added, edited, grouped, re-grouped, or deleted, the dynamic parameter manager updates, creates and / or removes database tables. The revised set of tables is then made available to the rules, and rules utilize the information in the various fields and sub-fields of the tables to control appropriate trading and associated reporting activities.

The present invention is an integrated method and apparatus for determining the quality of electrochemical energy storage devices, especially batteries. The invention is based on an integrated usage of electromagnetic and ultrasonic energy to probe of the interior volume of the battery. The first probe is carried out when the battery is at an initial charged state. After the first probe stage, a discharge of the battery being diagnosed is carried out until the test battery is at a small fixed test charge value. Signals from the eddy current probes allow determination of the continuity of the discharge current during the discharge process. After the discharge of the battery, the above described test sequence is repeated.The resultant eddy current signal generated at the initial state of the battery and the gradients of the eddy current signal and of the ultrasonic signal versus the battery capacity is determined. Deviations of these parameters from the corresponding average values preliminary obtained on the training sample set of batteries is calculated. Probability density function binary signals are formed for deviations of parameters used. The batteries being diagnosed are rejected by means of using the obtained binary signals with their probability values and a logical rule set.
