20140149337 | ACTUATION OF A TECHNICAL SYSTEM - To enable efficient abduction even for observations that are faulty or inadequately modeled, a relaxed abduction problem is proposed in order to explain the largest possible part of the observations with as few assumptions as possible. On the basis of two preference orders over a subset of observations and a subset of assumptions, tuples can therefore be determined such that the theory, together with the subset of assumptions, explains the subset of observations. The formulation as a multi-criteria optimization problem eliminates the need to offset assumptions made and explained observations against one another. Due to the technical soundness of the approach, specific properties of the set of results (such as correctness, completeness etc.), can be checked, which is particularly advantageous in safety-critical applications. The complexity of the problem-solving process can be influenced and therefore flexibly adapted in terms of domain requirements through the selection of the underlying representation language and preference relations. The invention can be applied to any technical system, e.g. plants or power stations. | 05-29-2014 |
20140188297 | ADJUSTMENT OF AN INDUSTRIAL INSTALLATION - It is proposed that an industrial installation, be operated with the power consumption being optimized for a target function. The target function may also factor in further parameters, with the result that multitarget optimization, for example, can be performed and the installation can be adapted in respect of the power consumption or the power consumption can be adapted in respect of the installation. Both the industrial installation and an energy supplier or network operator provide information which can be factored in as appropriate for the purpose of optimization or as part of the target function. It is advantageous that overload situations are avoided and a large number of regenerative energy sources can be used as energy suppliers, because adaptation is effected in line with the amount of energy actually provided. Hence the power supply system can be operated and loaded as appropriate. | 07-03-2014 |
20150039610 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A DATA ACCESS BASED ON DOMAIN MODELS - A system, a method and a computer product are disclosed. The method includes using at least one domain ontology including a plurality of domain models connected through mappings to a plurality of data sources, the data sources storing data to be accessed by the query; receiving a query by a query formulation unit; evaluating at least one of a language for defining at least one of the domain models involved in the query, a language of mappings involved in the query and a language of the query and selecting a query answering mode in accordance with results of the evaluation and retrieving an answer meeting at least one query condition from the data sources. | 02-05-2015 |
20150066829 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR QUERY ANSWERING OVER PROBABILISTIC SUPPLY CHAIN INFORMATION - A method predicts a derivable event in a logistic network. The method includes generating a Bayesian network describing a structure of at least a part of a logistic network. A query is received for the derivable event that depends on a combination of base events in the logistic network. The Bayesian network is instantiated for a plurality of points in time. A prediction of the derivable event is deduced from the instantiated Bayesian network by use of complex event processing. | 03-05-2015 |
20150178353 | PROCESSING AN INPUT QUERY - An embodiment relates to a method for processing an input query comprising: building an event processing framework based on the input query by converting operators of the input query into building blocks of the event processing framework. | 06-25-2015 |
20150253767 | RE-SEQUENCING OF CLIENT ORDERS UNDER CONTROLLED JUST-IN-SEQUENCE DELIVERIES FOR AVOIDING PRODUCTION DOWNTIME AND/OR PRODUCTION REWORK DUE TO MISSING AND/OR DEFECT PARTS - A method and a system for re-sequencing client production orders where client-individualized JIS components have not been delivered in due time according to the planned production schedule due to disturbances or have been delivered, but are defective. Three major steps are performed. First, by the introduction of the concept of differently permutable sub-sequences, the frozen time zone is divided into a plurality of sub-sequences of different length in time wherein the length is adapted to the time variants in the re-planning process. Second, using a knowledge-based model, the consequences of a disturbance are classified to be caused either by delayed supply or by defective parts. Third, after determining the type of distortion combining the type of sub-sequence with the status of the supply leads to the generation of three possible algorithms for the re-sequencing of the client production order. | 09-10-2015 |
20150340865 | Power control - A novel power allocation method, as early as in the procurement of electricity, takes account of network congestion and simultaneously enables logical and physical separation of network control and power allocation. An allocation component and a network monitoring component separately from one another detect tasks relating to the allocation of power and via predetermined interfaces exchange information or intermediate states relating to the allocation before the allocation is actually implemented for power control. This enables adaptive power control of power sources and consumer units and the flexible implementation of a plurality of requirements of a modern power distribution network. | 11-26-2015 |
20160054720 | INTELLIGENT PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER - A method of operating an intelligent programmable logic controller over a plurality of scan cycles includes creating, by the intelligent programmable logic controller, a process image area in a volatile computer-readable storage medium operably coupled to the intelligent programmable logic controller. The intelligent programmable logic controller then updates the process image area during each scan cycle with contents comprising data associated with a production unit. The contents of the process image area are stored by the intelligent programmable logic controller during each scan cycle on a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium operably coupled to the intelligent programmable logic controller. The intelligent programmable logic controller annotates the contents of the process image area with automation system context information to generate contextualized data. | 02-25-2016 |
