Alignment accuracy between two or more patterned layers is measured using a metrology target comprising substantially overlapping diffraction gratings formed in a test area of the layers being tested. An optical instrument illuminates all or part of the target area and measures the optical response. The instrument can measure transmission, reflectance, and / or ellipsometric parameters as a function of wavelength, polar angle of incidence, azimuthal angle of incidence, and / or polarization of the illumination and detected light. Overlay error or offset between those layers containing the test gratings is determined by a processor programmed to calculate an optical response for a set of parameters that include overlay error, using a model that accounts for diffraction by the gratings and interaction of the gratings with each others' diffracted field. The model parameters might also take account of manufactured asymmetries. The calculation may involve interpolation of pre-computed entries from a database accessible to the processor. The calculated and measured responses are iteratively compared and the model parameters changed to minimize the difference.

A system for and method of modeling thermal performance characteristics of HVAC components in a building uses the building power or other meter to measure power consumed by the components. The models are used to test the components, preferably during off hours, to ensure proper and efficient operation.

The models are adaptively maintained by periodically ensuring that their measured output matches the predicted output. When the two do not match, the model parameters are updated. These models can also be used to generate reports comparing costs and cost savings for different temperature and other environmental settings within selected zones in the building.

A voice wakeup detecting device for an electronic product includes a front end detecting circuit, a speech recognition processor and a main processor. The front end detecting circuit judges whether a voice signal contains a sub-keyword according to sub-keyword model parameters. If the front end detecting circuit confirms that the voice signal contains the sub-keyword, then it generates a first interrupt signal. In response to the first interrupt signal, the speech recognition processor is enabled to judge whether the voice signal contains a keyword according to keyword model parameters. If the speech recognition processor confirms that the voice signal contains the keyword, then it generates a second interrupt signal. In response to the second interrupt signal, the main processor is enabled. Consequently, the electronic produce is waked up from a sleep state to a normal working state.

A case management tool uses a novel event forecast engine. The engine leverages a flexible and extensible data structure that combines diverse formats of claims (e.g., both medical and pharmacy) and that highlights “episodes” rather than items. The engine also makes predictions with respect to “cohorts” groups, where cohorts are defined using both static and dynamic features, the latter being features that change their values based on observation periods. Multiple definitions of cohorts are implemented, and optimal cohort definitions are estimated. The engine uses rolling time window processing to extract dynamic features in the data sets, and then one or more machine learning algorithms are applied to the extracted data. Cohort-wise machine learning models preferably learn on dynamic features, which are then put together for final predictions. A validation step is applied when outcomes are later observed. Validation results update the cohort definitions as well as the model parameters.

A computational methodology that improves the accuracy of model parameters in a compact model uses methods and algorithms to self-consistently match independently developed base and stress models by re-fitting the stress model to the data set that generates the base model.

The detection of electromechanical oscillations in power systems and the estimation of their parameters (frequency ƒ and damping ξ) is based on a linear time-varying model. The parameters of the linear model are on-line adapted by means of Kalman filtering techniques to approximate the measured signal y (representing the behaviour of the power system) optimally in the sense of a quadratic criterion. The estimated model parameters are then the basis for the calculation of parameters of the oscillations. Adaptive algorithms are based on a recursive calculation of the estimated parameter vector for each time-step based on the new value of the measured signal and the old values of the estimated parameters. As opposed to the collection of data over a time window and then performing the parameter identification at once, any change in the system can thus be detected much faster.
