Title: Method and apparatus for generating a model of an industrial production
Inventor: REINE FRANK
IPC: G05B17/02
Filed: 1998-04-30
Abstract: A process model of an industrial process or system is generated. The model correlates a first number M of process parameters forming  input  values  with  a  second  number  L  of  quality characteristics forming output values, which are processed to form feedback control signals for the process or system.  A third number N of training data sets of the industrial process are first gathered.  These data training sets are then processed in a second step during a learning phase of the model with the help of a processing unit such as a personal computer, whereby a preliminary approximating model  is  used  including a neural network with local approximation characteristics.   The neural network is connected in parallel with a linear network.  Both networks are connected to the same inputs.  The neural network first has a further number K of neural cells.   This initial number K corresponds to the number N of training data sets.  A weighted linear combination of the M process parameters  is performed.   The  linear network and the neural network are connected with their outputs through weighting circuits to a common summing network.  A reduction step is performed, whereby the neural and the linear network become smaller with fewer neural cells and with M-R weighted linear combinations by using the method of stepwise regression to ascertain a final simpler process model as compared to the initial preliminary model for providing closed loop feedback signals to control the industrial process such as a chipboard production process.

Title: Intelligent agents for electronic commerce
Inventor: PECKOVER DOUGLAS L
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 1997-01-17
Abstract: A system for electronic commerce (10) having personal agents (12 and 13) that represent consumers and providers in a virtual marketplace (28). Consumer personal agents conceal the identity of the consumer and are capable of creating decision agents (14) that shop for products and assist consumers in comparing and ranking products. Provider personal agents are capable of creating demand agents (16) that quantify demand and target specific consumers without learning the identity of the consumers. Based on data generated by the activities of the decision agents and on preference data maintained by consumer personal agents, provider personal agents can quantify current, historical, and future demand, simulate demand, and target specific consumers for advertising and other messages. Provider personal agents can cooperate with consumer personal agents to collect data about reasons for sales and lost sales and to offer consideration payments to consumers. Consumer personal agents can automatically reject unsolicited messages that do not satisfy the consumer's preferences.

Title: Mobile communication device, method for mobile data communication, and program storage medium
Inventor: HATTORI HIROYUKI
IPC: H04W28/00
Filed: 1997-12-09
Abstract: PAD 1a of data-processing-terminal-interface 13 has a packet assembling/disassembling function for the protocol for data-link layer A and the protocol for data-link layer B. The protocol for data-link layer A45 of data processing terminal 11 prescribes that a frame, in which data transferred from the upper layer is inserted between flag sequences 31 with a prescribed bit pattern, be transmitted usually, and that flag sequences without data transmission be transmitted when there is no data requiring transmission during communication. If flag sequences 33 are transferred from data processing terminal 11, PAD 1a deletes a part or all of flag sequences 33 and does not transfer them to wireless communication unit 12. Consequently, a part or all of the flag sequences are not transmitted to the wireless communication channel.      Therefore, power consumption by a wireless mobile station device or the like may be reduced, and the wireless channel may effectively used.

Title: Modular glazing system
Inventor: BYRNE JOHN F
IPC: E06B3/42
Filed: 1997-03-20
Abstract: A modular glazing system having several members, each member having one or more keyways or keys that permit the members to be connected. A preferred embodiment has four fundamental shapes: a base longitudinal member (10), an expander (40), an expander (50) and a screen sash member (60). The base longitudinal member (10) has a glazing channel (12) through which supplemental or primary glazing material is inserted. Along one side wall of the base longitudinal member (10) is a keyway (16) formed to interlock with a key (18) from another piece. At right angles to the first keyway (16) in the base longitudinal member (10), and disposed along a bottom wall of the base longitudinal member (10), is another keyway (16), similarly shaped. The base longitudinal member (10) also has an interior aperture (14) through which an L-shaped connector (130) is inserted to form corners. An expander (40) shaped generally like the letter H, has two keys (18), one located on either side of the middle bar of the letter H. An expander (50) has only one key (18), depending downwardly from the middle bar of the letter H. Each expander can be further modified by removing one or more of the walls of the letter H or bending them, as may be required. Glazing material (80) is inserted into the base longitudinal member (10) joined by connectors (130). A resilient material is inserted into the keyways (16) that form the outer edges of each of these base longitudinal members (10), allowing the unit formed to be compression fit into a window opening. Expanders allow several units to be joined.

Title: Rotary runner
Inventor: DICKSON ROBERT GEORGE
IPC: B62M27/02
Filed: 1998-10-15
Abstract: Snowmobiles are equipped with runners under the skis. These runners are constructed of metal bar, sometimes having hard metal teeth attached, which bolt up through the floatation component of the ski to attach to the structural component of the ski. These runners are routinely replaced by avid snowmobilers. With this invention a structural ski component has attached circular cutters of varying diameters which replace the metal bar runners and are independent of the floatation portion of a modern composite ski.

Title: Distributed system for communication networks in multi-user applications
Inventor: WATERS ROLLAND M
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 1997-05-14
Abstract: The present invention is directed to overcoming bandwidth limitations of network backbones (10) to allow for true national participation in multi-user applications across a large scale network (20). Three techniques are used to minimize the amount of backbone loading: (1) a fully distributed system architecture is described that retains national participation in each application environment by allocating resources among responsible servers (22) at remote locations; (2) Multiple zones of interest are defined within an application environment so that only relevant data applicable to each participant (1-100) within a given application environment is transmitted across the network backbone; and (3) seamless multi-server management is described that provides interaction across application environment regional boundaries without sacrificing continuity among participants or increasing the number of postcards transmitted. The present invention therefore provides a distributed system that offers multi-user applications nationwide interaction among participants within the present bandwidth limitations of existing network backbones.
