The invention may be embodied in a method for operating a disk drive in a mobile device to optimize power usage. The mobile device may be a hand held computing device such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) or a mobile terminal such as a cellular telephone. Immediately after responding to a disk access command, the disk drive is in first operating mode that consumes a relatively high level of power and may transition to a second operating mode that consumes a relatively low level of power. A transition from the second operating mode to the first operating mode consumes a transition quantity of power. A predictive technique tracks a user's usage pattern and adapts an operating mode transition time based on the usage pattern.

A computer-implemented method enables rack-level predictive power capping and power budget allocation to processing nodes in a rack-based IHS. A rack-level management controller receives node-level power-usage data and settings from several block controllers, including current power consumption and an initial power budget for each node. A power consumption profile is generated based on the power-usage data for each node. A total available system power of the IHS is identified. A system power cap is determined based on the power consumption profiles and the total available system power. A current power budget is determined for each node based on an analysis of at least one of the power consumption profile, the initial power budget, the current power consumption, the system power cap, and the total available system power. A power subsystem regulates power budgeted and supplied to each node based on the power consumption profiles and the system power cap.

The reconstruction of genetic networks in mammalian systems is one of the primary goals in biological research, especially as such reconstructions relate to elucidating not only common, polygenic human disease, but living systems more generally. The present invention provides novel gene network reconstruction algorithms that utilize naturally occurring genetic variations as a source of perturbations to elucidate the networks. The algorithms incorporate relative transcript abundance and genotypic data from segregating populations by employing a generalized scoring function of maximum likelihood commonly used in Bayesian network reconstruction problems. The utility of these novel algorithms can be demonstrated via application to gene expression data from a segregating mouse population. The network derived from such data using the novel network reconstruction algorithm is able to capture causal associations between genes that result in increased predictive power, compared to more classically reconstructed networks derived from the same data.

A stochastic algorithm has been developed for predicting the drug-likeness of molecules. It is based on optimization of ranges for a set of descriptors. Lipinski's “rule-of-5”, which takes into account molecular weight, logP, and the number of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor groups for determining bioavailability, was previously unable to distinguish between drugs and non-drugs with its original set of ranges. The present invention demonstrates the predictive power of the stochastic approach to differentiate between drugs and non-drugs using only the same four descriptors of Lipinski, but modifying their ranges. However, there are better sets of 4 descriptors to differentiate between drugs and non-drugs, as many other sets of descriptors were obtained by the stochastic algorithm with more predictive power to differentiate between databases (drugs and non-drugs). A set of optimized ranges constitutes a “filter”. In addition to the “best” filter, additional filters (composed of different sets of descriptors) are used that allow a new definition of “drug-like” character by combining them into a “drug like index” or DLI. In addition to producing a DLI (drug-like index), which permits discrimination between populations of drug-like and non-drug-like molecules, the present invention may be extended to be combined with other known drug screening or optimizing methods, including but not limited to, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, scaffold prioritization and docking.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an enhanced Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) system with a novel regularization term to generate features automatically that are suitable for predicting remaining useful life (RUL) of engineered systems such as machines, tools, apparatus, or parts. The system improves the trendability of the output features, which may better represent the degradation pattern of such systems. The disclosed system has been demonstrated to improve trendability and RUL prediction accuracy, offering improved predictive power earlier in the life cycle of the machine, tool, or part. During operation, the system implements an RBM including a loss function. The system then extracts a set of features from a degradation measurement via the RBM. The system fits a rate-of-change slope for a respective feature and adds a regularization term to the loss function based on the fitted slope. The system then selects a subset of the enhanced features based on a measure of monotonic trending and aggregates the subset into a health value. The system then predicts a RUL as a weighted average of features best matching a historical degradation pattern in the health value.
