Abstract

A powertrain system for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) includes one or a number of Energy Storage Sub-Systems (ESSs), and a plurality of Propulsion Machine-Inverter Groups, operatively coupled to the ESSs for being powered in accordance with power requirements of the Propulsion Machines (PMs). Various interface configurations between the ESS(s) and Propulsion Machines are contemplated for the subject powertrain.

Abstract

In the method and system for automated data diagnosis, a relational data base is formed of attributes characterizing an entity. The framework computes optimal diagnosis for a diagnostic inference problem which separates the desirable attributes from the undesirable attributes. The user of the system is permitted to specify certain parameters based on which the system computes a set of optimal or near optimal association rules between the attributes of a specific process, product, or other entity.

Abstract

A lab on a chip device includes a whole blood inlet port and microchannels to transport a whole blood sample or plasma skimmed from the whole blood sample into a detection chamber that includes at least one 3-electrode set of a counter electrode, a working electrode and a reference electrode. The counter electrode, the working electrode and the reference electrode may present bare, unmodified surfaces that are disposed so that clozapine present in the whole blood sample is detected via a reduction-oxidation reaction.

Abstract

A setup planning technique is provided in which a family of parts to be manufactured is identified, and the setup constraints imposed by the various bending operations in the part family are determined. The setup constraints may define or describe spatial constraints on the sizes and locations of various tooling stages in the setup. After identifying setup constraints, setup plans are generated that satisfy all setup constraints. Any setup plan that satisfies all setup constraints may then be utilized to accommodate every part in the part family.

Abstract

Binary rewriters that do not require relocation information and automatic parallelizers within binary rewriters are provided, as well as methods for performing binary rewriting and automatic parallelization. The method, in certain embodiments. includes disassembling a binary file and determining functions in the disassembled binary file. The method can further include rewriting the binary file without relying on relocation information or object files. Optionally, the method can further include performing automatic parallelization of the binary before rewriting the binary file.

Abstract

A hybrid static/dynamic binary rewrite method is presented, comprising: a one-time configuration step for instrumentation of an unmodified executable binary, invoking the executable binary by copying the unmodified executable binary into a system memory image and running the binary from the system memory image, and rewriting the system memory image by inserting at a safe location one or more new instructions in place of existing instructions, where the one or more new instructions transfer execution control to instrumentation instructions located elsewhere within the system memory image, an

Abstract

An apparatus includes a function module, a strength module, and a filter module. The function module compares an input signal, which has a component, to a first delayed version of the input signal and a second delayed version of the input signal to produce a multi-dimensional model. The strength module calculates a strength of each extremum from a plurality of extrema of the multi-dimensional model based on a value of at least one opposite extremum of the multi-dimensional model.

Abstract

Technologies such as automatic speech recognition and speaker identification) often encounter speech signals that are obscured by external sources of noise and interference such as background noise and other speakers. Similarly, hearing-aid and cochlear implant device users are often plagued by external disturbances that interfere with the speech signals they are struggling to understand. These disturbances can become so overwhelming that users often prefer to turn their medical devices off. As a result, these medical devices are useless to some users in certain situations.

Abstract

A pitch detection method. Such a pitch detection method may use Teager Energy Operator (TEO) and High Passed Filter (HPF) with Pseudo Weigner Ville Transformation (PWVT) to reduce the pitch deletion errors of highly correlated types of noises in a speech signal.
