A method is disclosed for predicting the presence of haemostatic dysfunction. At least one time-dependent measurement on an unknown sample is performed and a respective property of the sample is measured over time so as to derive a time-dependent measurement profile.

A model is then derived that represents the relationship between the abnormality and the set of predictor variables. Subsequently, the model is utilized to predict haemostatic dysfunction, such as septicemia or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

A technique for fast performance prediction of multivariable model predictive controllers (MPC) for large-scale spatially-distributed dynamic systems is provided. When operating an MPC for a two-dimensional sheetmaking process, the controller's performance can be separated into spatial performance and dynamic performance. The steady-state spatial performance for different sheet property modes is first predicted, thereafter, the dynamic performance is predicted on the basis of the steady-state actuator profiles. During the steady-state spatial performance prediction, the original MPC's cost function is approximated to be a steady-state cost function. Then the steady-state measurement profiles and the actuator profiles are calculated through the steady-state cost function. The actuator profiles in time series can be efficiently solved by minimizing the difference between the actuator profiles and the steady-state actuator profiles in the face of constraints. Finally, the model can be employed to expeditiously compute the measurement profiles in times series.

A general method is disclosed for using distance sensors to measure the surface profile and twist of objects, even in the presence of rigid-body motions in the measurement directions between the surface and the sensors. The method involves making multiple sequential measurements from a group of sensors while the object moves longitudinally relative to the sensors. The surface height features of the measured object appear in delayed sequence as the observed surface moves longitudinally relative to the sensor array. However, any rigid-body motions in the measurement directions appear simultaneously at all sensors. Mathematical procedures are used to separate the delayed and simultaneous components of the measurements, from which the surface height profile is determined. The invention can handle many different measurement types, including simultaneous measurement of the surfaces of two-sided objects, measurement of surface twist and two-dimensional surface scanning.
