20090265134 | BENCHMARKING DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHMS - A method for benchmarking diagnostic algorithms for a particular application is provided. The diagnostic algorithms are rank ordered based on a specified criterion so as to weed out weak algorithms, selecting more robust algorithms, defined in some sense, for deployment. This is realized by evaluating various parameters subsequently mentioned. A normalized product entropy ratio parameter is obtained. A performance parameter vector is fixed to define a plurality of sensitivity parameters including a plurality of threshold parameters and a plurality of data parameters. The plurality of threshold parameters and the plurality of data parameters are perturbed to obtain a threshold sensitivity parameter and a data sensitivity parameter. | 10-22-2009 |
20100305885 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING ADULTERATION OF FUEL OR OTHER MATERIAL USING WIRELESS MEASUREMENTS - A method includes transmitting wireless signals toward material in a tank. The method also includes receiving first return wireless signals reflected off a surface of the material and identifying a level of the material in the tank using the first return wireless signals. The method further includes receiving second return wireless signals reflected off a bottom of the tank and determining whether the material has been adulterated using the level of the material in the tank and the second return wireless signals. Determining whether the material has been adulterated could include determining a dielectric constant of the material, determining a density of the material using the dielectric constant of the material, and comparing the determined density of the material against a specified density. Determining the dielectric constant of the material could include using a time between peaks associated with the first and second return wireless signals. | 12-02-2010 |
20130029587 | DETERMINING A DEPLOYMENT OF A WIRELESS NETWORK - Methods, systems, and devices for determining a deployment of a wireless network are described herein.

20140134398 | Coatings For Metal Surfaces - An iron-containing metal surface, such as a brushed stainless steel, comprises a heat-set layer of a metal phosphate reaction product formed between a surface metal and phosphate precursor wherein the reaction product layer h an average thickness less than 2 micrometers. A metal surface, that resists retention of environmental stains or marks as well as resisting tarnish at elevated temperatures, is formed by forming a reaction product with the metal surface by heat setting a surface liquid layer containing a phosphate precursor such as a phosphate ester-containing solution or phosphoric acid solution, and optionally containing a phospho alumina precursor, onto the metal surface. An article coated in accordance with this invention is similar in appearance to a similar article without such a coating for maintaining original aesthetic properties. | 05-15-2014 |
