8/343186

Inventors:

Clinton C. Thompson - Louisville KY

International Classification:

E01F 900

US Classification:

404 6

Abstract:

A motorized retractable speed bump or warning device wherein the raising and lowering of the retractile is controlled by multiple remote means from signals generated by traffic conditions. The motorized retractable speed bump, wherein a retractile comprising of bi-folding hinged plates, which are elevated to present a visible obstruction to motor vehicles, and a position restraining device, operated by rotary and or linear motor drive means, by on/off manual push button switching, or through a series of Programmable Logic Controllers, by way of analog or digital signals emanating from permanently mounted speed detecting devices.

Abstract:

Examples for relational time-series classification method for corrosion maintenance dispatch. A method may involve generating a self-organizing map for each parameter that corresponds to a group of aircraft. The self-organizing map organizes time-series data associated with a parameter into a two-dimensional representation. The method may further involve, for each map, identifying polar coordinates that represent a location of a particular node, in a grid of nodes within the self-organizing map, that is located closest to the time-series data organized in the two-dimensional representation. The method may then involve providing polar coordinates identified from each self-organizing map, along with indications of corrosion levels corresponding to the aircraft, as inputs into a classification model to train the classification model to determine trends between the parameters. The classification model is configured to subsequently use the one or more trends collectively to estimate a corrosion level for a particular aircraft.
