| 20080300888 | Systems and Methods for Providing Risk Methodologies for Performing Supplier Design for Reliability - Embodiments of the invention can provide systems and methods for providing risk methodologies for performing supplier design for reliability. According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for analyzing reliability associated with a product provided by a supplier can be provided. The method can include providing a supplier a specification for a product, wherein the specification is based at least in part on an amount of risk to be associated with the product. In addition, the method can include requesting the supplier to perform at least one task to analyze reliability associated with the product in accordance with the specification. Furthermore, the method can include obtaining an output associated with the reliability from the supplier. Furthermore, the method can include comparing the output to the specification for the product. In addition, the method can include based at least in part on the comparison, approving or disapproving of the product. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090083089 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING FAILURE MODES ACCORDING TO COST - Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer readable media for analyzing failure modes derived from a failure modes and effects analysis. One or more failure modes for a product are identified. A respective cost exposure for each of the identified one or more failure modes is determined in order to provide the criticality and risk of a product's failure modes in financial terms. The one or more failure modes can then be prioritized in accordance with the determined cost exposure. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20110090950 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING DATA COMPRESSION USING DYNAMIC LEARNING AND CONTROL - A data compression system and method for achieving enhanced compression performance in a plurality of encoder-decoder pairs communicatively coupled in a concatenated chain is disclosed. The plurality of encoder-decoder pairs receive input data and transform the input data into compressed output data. The data compression system includes at least one quality estimator communicatively coupled to the concatenated chain to determine a plurality of quality metrics corresponding to an output from each of the plurality of encoder-decoder pairs. Further, the data compression system also includes a processing subsystem configured to optimize the operation of each of the plurality of encoder-decoder pairs based upon the plurality of quality metrics to achieve a desired level of optimization for the concatenated chain. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110130992 | PHASE IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A phase identification system is proposed. The system includes a sensor coupled to a terminal of a distribution transformer. A processor is coupled to the sensor for processing phase information of the terminal, wherein the sensor and the processor are embedded within a bushing unit on the distribution transformer. The processor is further configured to identify and display phase information at the distribution transformer. | 06-02-2011 |
