    摘要: A preferred process for evaluating the performance of a process control system comprises generating a first set of data comprising a plurality of measurements of a first parameter controlled by the process control system and generating a second set of data comprising a plurality of measurements of a second parameter controlled by the process control system. A preferred process also comprises calculating a first statistical index from the first set of data using a statistical process control method, calculating a second statistical index from the second set of data using the statistical process control method, and combining the first and second statistical indices to produce a performance index representative of the performance of the process control system at controlling the first and second parameters.

    摘要: A differential correction apparatus for use with a spectroscopy device. The spectroscopy device simultaneously produces two histograms corresponding to the spectrum acquired. The first histogram contains the counts recorded by a differential correction method (DCM), giving the best estimate of the counts per channel in the absence of dead time. The second histogram is the error spectrum, giving the variance of the counts in each channel of the first spectrum. The two spectra have the same size, true acquisition time, and energy calibration with the only difference being the number of counts in each channel. By obtaining both histograms, it is possible to both obtain an accurate spectrum when the energy peaks have varying decay times and retain the necessary information about the spectrum to allow the statistical error to be calculated.

    摘要: A timing control device and method for minimizing timing uncertainties due to skew and jitter, wherein a device for the compensation of timing errors in multiple channel electronic devices comprises at least one register having a plurality of channels comprising: a clock for providing a clock signal; a reference signal generator for generating reference signals for deskewing the registers. For each register, a corresponding feedback loop is associated for the relative alignment of the register's timing. The feedback loop comprises a device for detecting a deviation from a predetermined level of probability of reading by the register of a desired symbol on a boundary of two reference channel symbols in a sequence, and a set of delay devices which use the detected values of probability to generate a feedback signal.

    摘要: An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a method and apparatus for calculating at least one confidence interval. The method comprises activating a calculator. The calculator prompts the user to enter at least three pairs of calibration data. The user then specifies a reference for the calibration data. The calculator then generates a list of the calibration data. The calculator then calculates a linear calibration curve derived from the calibration data. The calculator then calculates a residual calibration value plot derived from the calibration data. The user enters an unknown sample output measurement. The calculator calculates a back-calculated unknown sample input measurement. The calculator lastly calculates a confidence interval for the back-calculated unknown sample input measurement.

    摘要: A novel sales system of complex products whose configuration is designed based on the customer requirements provides method steps for generating guarantee offers. A value of the guarantee criterion for the complex product (such as product availability) can be evaluated only after the complex product configuration is determined. For each combination of the customer requirements, a system configuration and a corresponding value of the guarantee criterion is generated. Then, this value is used for the customer remedy calculations.
