text: NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunora Energy Solutions just completed a solar photovoltaic installation at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Charter School for Science & Technology in New Orleans. The installation, donated by NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NRG), Sunora Energy Solutions, and others was unveiled on Saturday, February 2 nd and will provide hands-on solar energy education for the school's students, as well as solar power to help reduce the school's utility bill. The solar installation at the Martin Luther King, Jr. school is comprised of 397 solar panels, which will generate 112kW of power, enough to handle one-third of the school's peak electricity demand with renewable solar energy. The installation also features an outdoor classroom in the new garden area with an irrigation system powered by the solar system using reclaimed water, educational components, and other playground upgrades. Sunora Energy Solutions designed and managed the installation in addition to fabricating and preassembling the solar arrays. The solar panels were installed in less than four days and the entire project was completed in five and half weeks. "Our team was able to quickly move from idea to installation with minimal disruption to the school using Sunora's Modular Solar Solution," said John Plumlee, Sunora Energy Solutions CEO. "Utilizing our standardized approach we are able to prefabricate the solar arrays at our off-site facilities, in this case Phoenix, AZ, then rapidly deploy the system, minimizing cost, time and impact, which is really important in a situation such as this where classes are on-going during construction." Rapid on-site deployment has also been a critical success factor for other Sunora clients including the owners of an NFL stadium where the Sunora Solar Carpark coverings had to be installed in the stadium parking lot without any disruption to the season's game schedule and tailgating parties.

Set of Double Souls
I tried my best to sound nice. It's hard now that I suspect them. Yet it's hard not to trust them. I have nothing against them, and there was no solid proof that they were the actual enemies. Too innocent to be proven guilty...
"What are you doing here?" Kailyn looked at me and then at my release. "Is this your release?"
"No. I found these two in hell. They were still usable to fight so I took them."
"That explains why..." Explains what? "What is your actual release then?"
"Mine is basically the same thing, but they are daggers. I find it easier to use swords though.
"I think that you should use the daggers. They are yours and only yours. Don't trade something that is precious to you for something someone would throw away. Besides... if the swords are still here, then the owner is still alive."
"What would you know?" Then all of a sudden, the swords began to move. The white one charged straight ahead and dragged me with it. The black one was following reluctantly behind. Just as the sword was about to pierce Kailyn, she raised a finger. The sword touched her, but didn't pierce through her skin. "What is..."
"You've turn dull, Aiya."
"Nice to see you again mistress."
"What in heaven?!" I threw my swords in the air and fell to the floor. It talked... a sword can talk? I stared wide-eyed as Kailyn caught them.
"Is that how you treat us?!" yelled the black sword.
"Shut up Arai. You're not any better," Kailyn said.
"Exactly what is going on?" She is getting more and more mysterious. Who is she?
"These swords have souls, as shown when you call them out saying double souled swords. Each has their own name and personality. The white one is Aiya and the black one is Arai. Aiya is a serving girl and will do anything you want her to as long as it is within her power. Arai is reluctant, and he will only be his strongest if he deems you worthy to work for. These two were the swords of someone I knew."
"Uh huh..." I think I was getting it or maybe not. "And who was the owner?"
"The man called Raymond." Her eyes grew dark. "Apparently he found a new toy to play with so he threw these away."
"A new toy? Do you mean a new release?"
Kailyn slashed Arai at me. "Yes. Since you invited me to join this group of yours, you will meet him someday. I want to see how strong you are. Duel me with your daggers. If you don't win against me, you will not stand a chance against Raymond."
"Double Souled Daggers!" I took hold of my daggers and posed ready to fight. I'll show you Kailyn, how strong I really am.
She smiled, and she took Aiya and Arai. Then she lunged at me. "Bring it," she whispered, slicing me in the arm.

This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/162,264, which was filed on Jun. 4, 2002, and entitled, "SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY PROVIDING FLEXIBLE AND DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING IN AN INDUSTRIAL CONTROLLER ENVIRONMENT", the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates generally to industrial control systems, and more particularly to a system and methodology to facilitate distributed component processing in a networked industrial controller system.
Industrial controllers are special-purpose computers utilized for controlling industrial processes, manufacturing equipment, and other factory automation, such as data collection or networked systems. In accordance with a control program, the industrial controller, having an associated processor (or processors), measures one or more process variables or inputs reflecting the status of a controlled system, and changes outputs effecting control of such system. The inputs and outputs may be binary, (e.g., on or off), as well as analog inputs and outputs assuming a continuous range of values. Control programs may be executed in a series of execution cycles with batch processing capabilities.
Measured inputs received from such systems and the outputs transmitted by the systems generally pass through one or more input/output (I/O) modules. These I/O modules serve as an electrical interface to the controller and may be located proximate or remote from the controller including remote network interfaces to associated systems. Inputs and outputs may be recorded in an I/O table in processor memory, wherein input values may be asynchronously read from one or more input modules and output values written to the I/O table for subsequent communication to the control system by specialized communications circuitry (e.g., back plane interface, communications module). Output modules may interface directly with one or more control elements, by receiving an output from the I/O table to control a device such as a motor, valve, solenoid, amplifier, and the like.
Various control modules of the industrial controller may be spatially distributed along a common communication link in several racks. Certain I/O modules may thus be located in close proximity to a portion of the control equipment, and away from the remainder of the controller. Data is communicated with these remote modules over a common communication link, or network, wherein modules on the network communicate via a standard communications protocol. Many industrial controllers can communicate via network technologies such as Ethernet (e.g., IEEE802.3, TCP/IP, UDP, EtherNet/IP, etc.), ControlNet�, DeviceNet� or other network protocols (Foundation Fieldbus (H1 and Fast Ethernet) Modbus TCP, Profibus) and also communicate to higher level computing systems. Industrial controllers utilize the aforementioned technologies along with other technology to control multiple applications ranging from complex and highly distributed to more traditional and repetitious applications.
At the core of the industrial control system, is a logic processor such as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or PC-based controller. Programmable Logic Controllers for instance, are programmed by systems designers to operate manufacturing processes via user-designed logic programs or user programs. The user programs are stored in memory and generally executed by the PLC in a sequential manner although instruction jumping, looping and interrupt routines, for example, are also common. Associated with the user program are a plurality of memory elements or variables that provide dynamics to PLC operations and programs. These variables can be user-defined and can be defined as bits, bytes, words, integers, floating point numbers, timers, counters and/or other data types to name but a few examples.
User programs are generally distributed or downloaded to PLCs in a point-to-point manner, wherein respective applications are tested and put into operation in accordance with an isolated integration process. Many times a trial and error process is employed, whereby individual stations in a control process are tweaked or tuned as necessary—during start-up of an application involving several and often times remote PLCs. Thus, if several PLCs control an overall manufacturing process, application distribution and testing is often limited to loading PLCs individually and then tweaking individual control stations locally to facilitate the overall manufacturing or control process. In many cases, some PLC stations run at peak capacity, whereas other controllers in the process are lightly loaded. Moreover, in the process of downloading, testing and ultimately deploying an application, coordination between components is limited due to the manual nature of the aforementioned integration processes.
The following presents a simplified summary of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is intended to neither identify key or critical elements of the invention nor delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The present invention relates to a system and methodology to provide a flexible application distribution framework to support distributed processing and configuration within an industrial controller environment. Several re-locatable components interact and communicate to determine system impacts (e.g., performance, load, configurations) in single or multi-processor environments in order to automate application or component distribution, testing, and configuration in accordance with coordinated component interactions. The components can include a query component to determine relevant information from a controller, a distribution component to direct applications, configurations, and/or portions thereof to respective controllers, a configuration component to coordinate/update features within the controllers (also associated modules), and an analysis component to determine and control one or more performance or deployment aspects of a distributed system. Interactions can occur across networks (local and/or remote), protocols, and interface technologies, wherein automated protocol selections can be made. These interactions also support processor capabilities being determined, updated and/or shared, while coordinating system performance/component integration across multiple platforms to mitigate manual deployment and testing processes.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the query component can employ resource lists or locators to determine current controller resources such as processing capabilities, components installed, current configurations, for example, and collect customer data, if desired. This can include a controlled query of a data path to a network device that can also facilitate interactive fault handling over a network and between various components residing thereon. In addition, an XML schema can be provided to transport and specify system resources that are sought by and subsequently processed by the query component.
The distribution component facilitates several configuration and application deployment aspects of the present invention via a deployment engine that distributes components across a coordinated control environment. Component deployment can occur in connection with the queried resources and/or determinations by the analysis component, and also occur as part of a scheduled process or routine. This includes system reconfigurations, configuring systems from remote web locations, load balancing processor capabilities across systems, and general software or configuration deployments. Other configuration aspects include configuring multiple stations in support of a more consistent processing load. This can include relocating and redistributing tasks in accordance with logical and physical processor or component locations. Another aspect includes pushing code and associated data between devices to further distribute and balance processing capabilities in addition to supporting more continuous process controls.
The configuration component supports such aspects as network clock synchronizations, clock updates, and employment of an automated protocol selection procedure. This can include configuring an Ethernet or other type device for example, to translate a first protocol to a plurality of various other communications protocols. Additionally, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocols (DHCP) can be employed in accordance with other aspects of the present invention to facilitate more automated determinations of network configurations.
In support of the query, distribution, and configuration components, the analysis component includes various system processing aspects of the present invention. This can include applying artificial intelligence techniques to processing/deployment decisions including such techniques as Bayesian analysis and belief networks. This type analysis can be harnessed to determine such aspects as data prioritization, communication management and priority between recipients, as well as managing one or more events based upon the determined priority. Other analysis aspects can include transforming data between protocols such as XML and local controller protocols to facilitate more efficient processing of data acquired from multiple sources.
The following description and the annexed drawings set forth in detail certain illustrative aspects of the invention. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the invention may be employed and the present invention is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. Other advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
The present invention relates to a system and methodology facilitating flexible resource distribution and control in an industrial control environment. A query component is provided to determine one or more system resources from a networked industrial controller system. The resources can include applications, configurations, variable settings, and performance capabilities associated with a controller, for example. Upon receiving available resource listings from various control devices, a distribution component can update the devices based in part on the resource listings and/or other considerations and according to various criteria such as load balancing considerations, software deployment considerations, and efficiency of process considerations. A configuration component can be utilized in the controller system to provide network updates of controller parameters and to facilitate automated protocol selections when interacting with out-of-network devices. An analysis component can interact with the query, distribution, and configuration components to support higher-level decision-making in the resource distribution and allocation process.

The controller 20 and remote systems 24-28 maintain resources 40 through 48, wherein the resources are associated with various operational aspects of the systems. For example, the resources 40-48 can include memory/memory capacity, processor bandwidth or utilization information, programs, variables, configurations, process information, batch information, I/O lists, scan lists, and substantially any parameter and/or data that affects operational capabilities of the respective systems. As will be described in more detail below, the resources 40-48 can be described in a schema or list and passed between systems 20-28 in order to distribute one or more resource parameters or capabilities across one or more of the systems 20-28. It is noted that the remote systems 24-28 can be substantially any network device interacting with the controller 20. This can include personal computers, workstations, other controllers, communications modules, and so forth.
As an example, remote system 2 at reference numeral 26 can be another controller, wherein the controller 20 and remote system 2 (or other systems) exchange resource information to determine if the resources 40 and 46 can be transferred, shared, updated, and/or coordinated to facilitate an automated manufacturing process. In addition, one controller can act as a master, whereby other controller systems interacting on the network 30 are synchronized or updated based at least in part on the resources maintained by the master. In another example, remote system 1 at reference numeral 24 can be configured as a network computer that maintains one or more lists of resources associated with one or more controllers or other network devices. If conditions change, such as a detected change in load, change in logic programs, change in firmware revision, a design change, configuration change and/or other changes, the network computer can distribute resources to the controllers in accordance with the lists (or other determinations) via a remote task such as a remote web service.
A communications component 54 associated with the controller 20 (or remote systems) can be configured in one or more possible communications modalities such as a web server/client, e-mail server/client, voice mail server/client, and dial-in server/client, for example, wherein the modalities can be adapted in one or more possible modes such as polling modes, broadcasting modes, and/or request/reply modes to distribute, monitor, and/or exchange resources between remote systems 20-28. Although not shown in
According to one aspect of the present invention, a coordination component 70 is provided to support flexible exchanges of data and/or capabilities between the controller 20 and remote systems 24-28. The coordination component 70 includes at least one of a query component 72, a distribution component 74, a configuration component 76, and an analysis component 78. It is noted that the respective systems 20, and 24-28 can be configured similarly (e.g., all systems include components 72 through 78, all systems include at least component 74, and so forth), and/or can be configured having various combinations of components 72 through 78. For example, the controller 20 can be configured with the components 72 through 78, remote system' with components 76 and 78 and remote system2 with components 72, 74, and 78.
The query component 72 retrieves resource schemas, lists, data and/or locators (e.g., address pointers) from network devices to determine current controller resources (or other network device resources) such as processing capabilities, components installed, current configurations, and customer data, for example. This can include a controlled query of a data path to a network device over the network 30 and between various components communicating thereon. Queries can include sending query requests to dedicated IP addresses, according to address lists specifying several devices, and/or other type requests such as a dial-up request to a specified number, number list and/or a wireless request to a Wireless Area Network device (e.g., employing Wireless Markup Language (WML) schema). As will be described in more detail below, the query component 72 can receive a response to the resource request via an XML schema or other data transmission.
The distribution component 74 facilitates deployment of resources 40-48 via a deployment engine (described below) that distributes one or more of the resources across the network 30 and between one or more of the controller 20 and/or remote systems 24-28. Resource deployment can occur in connection with the query requests described above, for example, and/or also occur as part or a scheduled process or routine. This includes system reconfigurations, configuring systems from remote web locations, load balancing processor capabilities across systems, and general software or configuration deployments. The configuration component 76 supports coordination of resource configurations and/or settings across the system 10. This can include such aspects as network clock synchronizations, clock updates, configuration updates, and/or employment of an automated protocol selection procedure, for example, which are described in more detail below.
The analysis component 78 supports the query, distribution, and/or configuration components 72-76, including various system processing aspects such as determining system performance and/or distributing resources or processing capabilities. This can include applying artificial intelligence techniques to processing decisions including such techniques as Bayesian analysis and belief networks. Determinations include such aspects as load sharing analysis, resource allocation analysis, data prioritization, communication management and determining priority between recipients, as well as managing one or more events based upon the determined priority.
Referring to
A path locator 134 can be provided to indicate one or more node addresses and/or connection types/devices within the schema 130. The communications component 120 employs the path information in the schema 130 to retrieve resource information from the remote systems via a request at 140. It is to be appreciated that a single schema 130 can be broadcast to multiple nodes in performance of a query, or individual schemas can be sent to query a single node, if desired, wherein one or more remote system responses can be received at 144. The remote responses can also be in the form of XML schemas having path information describing where the response 144 originated from and including associated resource information relating to a respective node. It is noted that the responses 144 can include XML data and/or combinations of other data such as having an attached binary file that follows the response 144. For example, an element in the response 144 can specify whether the queried data is included in the XML schema or is included as an attachment thereto. As an example, coded information such as an executable may be transmitted in binary. Thus, an element in the response schema can indicate that one or more attached binaries follow the response at 144.
The communications component 120 interacts with the query component 120 in order to retrieve requested resource information. A data channel 150 (or data channels) can be configured to communicate with the remote systems via a communications processor 160. As illustrated, the communications processor 160 can be configured or adapted for a plurality of various communications options or combinations thereof such as a web server/client, e-mail server/client, dial-up server/client, wireless access server/client, and so forth, wherein respective server/client components can send information to and receive information from multiple remote systems. The data channel 150 can include at least one standard socket (e.g., HTTP) for web communications and/or other type sockets (e.g., Secure Socket Layer SSL Socket) to exchange information with remote systems. For example, the standard socket can be an HTTP socket, an FTP socket, a TELNET socket, and/or other network socket.
The communications processor 160 includes a socket interface (not shown) that directs/translates industrial controller communication protocols to/from TCP/IP (or other protocol) and is instantiated by a stack 170. For example, a socket instance, which may be invoked from a remote browser and/or other application, includes information about a controller such as an IP address and port address. The stack 170 presents a layered communications interface to networks such as the Internet and may interface to one or more drivers to communicate with remote systems. One possible driver is a point-to-point (PPP) driver (not shown) for communicating over a phone line. Another possible driver is an Ethernet driver (not shown) that communicates through a Local Area Network (LAN) to remote systems. It is to be appreciated that a plurality of other drivers and network interfaces are possible (e.g., wireless LAN driver).
The stack 170 (e.g., TCP/IP stack) may be associated with one or more other network layers. A physical layer may be provided that defines the physical characteristics such as electrical properties of a network interface. A data-link layer defines rules for sending information across a physical connection between systems. The stack 170 may include a network layer, which may include Internet protocol (IP) that defines a protocol for opening and maintaining a path on the network. A transport layer associated with the stack 170 may include Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) (or other protocol) that provides a higher level of control for moving information between systems. This may include more sophisticated error handling, prioritization, and security features. A session layer, presentation layer, and application layer may also be optionally included that sit above the stack 170.

The distribution system 200 can operate in a plurality of modes to propagate changes throughout the remote systems 220. For example, an automatic mode may be provided which enables updates to occur when new or changed resources have been provided to the controller 210 and/or remote systems 220. Also, there may be a synchronization mode, which may run a check of resource items (e.g., at predetermined intervals, when changes are detected, via programmed logic instructions) against other remote systems to facilitate sharing and/or balancing of resources between systems. During a distribution between systems, the request list 240 may be sent to the remote system 220 from the controller 210, for example. The remote system may then check its own resources and reply with the response list 244 that requests resource changes needed. The controller 210 may then respond with the update list 250 providing the information requested for that update. During an automatic or scheduled distribution, the distribution engine may send update lists 250 to one or more remote systems 220 informing them of changes as they occur on the controller 210. For example, the update list 250 may be an XML blob that describes what the update is, what data is being updated, and the actual update—if desired. There may be an action parameter or flag (not shown) that describes how the updated item should be handled during automatic updates. For example, the parameter's value may be configured to a first value to update and/or change an existing item, configured to a second value to delete an existing item, and/or configured to a third value to create a new item. It is to be appreciated that resource allocation can occur in a bi-directional manner in accordance with the present invention, whereby the controller 210 and/or the remote systems 220 can request for and/or respond with one or more available resource items.
Referring to
The analysis component 330 monitors/determines overall system 300 performance/resources via the query component 320 and alters, adjusts, and/or tunes the performance based on decisions determined in the processing engine 340. For example, this can include rules-based determinations (e.g., if this queried condition or event occurs, then perform one or more distribution actions), algorithmic determinations, and/or other determinations such as statistical analysis, probabilistic analysis, and/or higher-level inference analysis that may be applied in accordance with artificial intelligence techniques which are described in more detail below.
Based on an analysis of the system resources, the processing engine 340 can perform a plurality of various actions to cause changes in system performance and/or configuration. It is to be appreciated that changes can also occur based upon regularly scheduled events such as routine maintenance conditions (e.g., flag fired from a timer or a calendar) and/or in accordance with predetermined time intervals. As an example, system reconfigurations are possible wherein one or more remote systems are updated according to changes detected by the analysis component 330 (manual and/or automatic changes) that includes distributing such items as programs, firmware, configuration settings, general software deployments and/or other data. This can also include configuring systems from remote web locations such as from a workstation or a controller. In another aspect, processor capabilities can be load balanced or distributed across systems. As an example, a remote station may indicate that its memory is about full (e.g., via query and associated schema). The analysis component 330 can then query other systems and/or stations for available storage capacity, find an available location for storage, and communicate an address listing the site whereby the remote system can possibly offload data stored therein. As an example, a static recipe, batch file, a help file, or other type data may be accessed infrequently. Thus, offloading storage of this type data may not cause any decrease in performance when the remote system needs to access such data during the course of operations.
In another example, a remote system may indicate that a processor is executing at 98% of available processing bandwidth. This may involve a large amount of network processing, wherein the remote system is reading commonly available network data and performing large amounts of data processing on the data to produce and return the result back to the network. The analysis component 330 can query other remote systems, determine a processor that has available bandwidth and offload the task to that system. This can include relocating and redistributing tasks in accordance with logical and physical processor or component locations. In one aspect, this can include bundling code and associated data (e.g., pushing a copy of a logic program or processor executable instructions onto a communications stack) on the over-burdened machine and transferring the bundled code and associated data between devices to further distribute and balance processing capabilities. In this manner, more continuous and/or balanced process controls can be provided. In addition, the system 300 enables automatic tuning and/or dynamic regulation of an overall process that is controlled by multiple systems. Other configuration aspects include configuring multiple stations in support of a more consistent processing load. It is noted that load balancing can also occur by having multiple processors execute similar tasks, wherein tasks are selectively enabled and disabled by the analysis component 330.
In support of the query, distribution, and configuration components, the analysis component 330 and processing engine 340 include other system processing aspects. This can include applying artificial intelligence techniques to processing/deployment decisions including such techniques as Bayesian analysis and belief networks. This type analysis can be employed to determine such aspects as data prioritization, communication management and priority between recipients, as well as managing one or more events based upon the determined priority. Other analysis aspects can include transforming data between protocols such as XML and local controller protocols to facilitate more efficient processing of data acquired from multiple sources. For example, a plurality of XML files, schemas or blobs may be received from remote systems describing various resources. Although the XML data can be processed in its present form, it may be more efficient to transform all or portions of the data to a different form such as a binary file, HEX file, a structure, an array, and/or other form before processing begins. This can include applying higher level language functions (e.g., convert ASCII to binary ( ), define structure, format array) that are commonly available in compiled code such as object languages, C and C++, for example. This can also include instruction sequences that input a known code type (e.g., XML), and maps the code type to one or more other code types in accordance with the mapping (e.g., characters such as 20 followed by % maps ASCII 20 into binary 20 followed by multiplication of 0.01).
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, system performance can be determined in a regular manner according to a regular query of resources initiated by the analysis component 330. For example, inputs, data, a sequence of data, a variance of data and/or patterns of data or inputs can be monitored for possible trends in the data (e.g., at about 2:00 AM, processor at station B experiences a dramatic decrease in CPU capacity). This can include statistical or probability analysis to determine if a possible performance and/or distribution condition has occurred. As one particular example, resource or other type data can be monitored over time, whereby if the data falls outside of a predetermined range, an outside range event is generated and subsequently processed by the processing engine 340. However, this data may generally subscribe to a detectable, modeled, and/or predictable pattern during normal operations within the range. Thus, if the pattern changes—even though the data is still within the predetermined range, a different type event can be triggered causing different decisions to be executed in the processing engine 340.
These type decisions can include inference, statistical, and/or probability analysis at 340 for a subset of resources, data or inputs that are queried and monitored for routine or modeled patterns over time. If the data subset deviates from the determined pattern, internal events can be fired in the processing engine 340 that invoke one or more actions such as searching for other available resources, transferring processing capabilities between stations, putting additional processors online, and alerting other systems or users, for example. Data patterns can be determined in accordance with a plurality of techniques. A statistical analysis of data or inputs can include substantially any technique such as averaging, standard deviations, comparisons, sampling, frequency, periodicity and so forth.
In another aspect of the present invention, data patterns (e.g., patterns of queried resources over time) or processor/system operations can be stated as a general probabilistic estimate to determine a performance condition given monitored evidence of an input pattern or occurrence. The estimate can be stated as:
Pr(Cp|E1, E2, . . . EJ);
wherein Pr is a probability, Cp relates to a monitored performance condition given evidence E relating to deviations or differences from monitored patterns or models, and J being an integer. This can also include evidence of consistency with a previous pattern to predict likely future outcomes or performance conditions. Thus, probability thresholds can be configured that fire an internal event (leading to action) based upon the probability estimate being above a predetermined probability threshold (e.g., 90% determination system performance condition or data pattern will likely occur in the future based on previous patterns).
It is noted that probability models can be constructed from typical controller or system operations. This can include monitoring resources for typical variances and monitoring such aspects as how often particular events occur (e.g., processor at station C produces 1 less product per minute when processor D an E increase network communications). In addition, inference models can be constructed such that multiple and/or unrelated events are analyzed (e.g., processor A an B generally operate independently of processor C and D, thus there generally should not be any cause and effect between system operations). This can possibly indicate that a problem may occur or that resources may need to be allocated in a different manner (e.g., when processor A executes batch T, send system flag to processors C and D to reduce network communications by 25%). For example, if a large increase in network communications is detected, and an associated decrease is detected with the number or type of I/O samples received over time, then a possible inference is that system processing capabilities have become overloaded or network activities have induced noise problems in the I/O subsystem. It is to be appreciated other inferences can occur and that more or less general inferences can also be determined.
Classification models can be constructed that learn routine behaviors or patterns in order to generate probabilities that predict possible future patterns. For example, such techniques can include Support Vector Machines (SVM), Naive Bayes, Bayes Net, decision tree, similarity-based, vector-based, and/or other learning models or combinations thereof. Classifiers can be stated as a function that maps an input attribute to the confidence that the input belongs to a class. In the case of pattern recognition, attributes can be typical data subsets or values sampled over the course of time (e.g., resources queried from a plurality of systems at predetermined intervals) and/or include other pattern-specific attributes derived from the data subsets. It is noted, that modeled patterns and/or the analysis described above can cause automated actions to occur to more evenly and/or efficiently execute a manufacturing process. Alternatively, modeled or determined tendencies can be reported to users or operators, wherein a manual flag can be set by the user—before automated actions begin, in order to indicate that it is a suitable time to implement a possible automated action (e.g., implement processor load sharing during plant maintenance operation).
Turning now to
A distribution component 450 can also be provided to adjust configurations—which can include one or more of the resources described above, wherein adjustments are provided to one or more remote systems based upon commands received from the configuration component 430. It is also to be appreciated however, all or portions of query and/or distribution functionality can be provided within the configuration component 430. In addition, the configuration component 430 can cooperate with the analysis component described above to determine if one or more configurations or settings should be propagated to other systems.
The configuration component 430 supports such aspects as network clock synchronizations, clock updates, and employment of an automated protocol selection procedure. This can include reading remote web locations for a standard time, (e.g., Greenwich Standard Time) and propagating the time between systems with suitable adjustments if necessary for communications delays. Alternatively, the configuration component 430 can induce one or more remote systems via network commands to perform a clock update procedure such as reading a remote web site for the clock data, and/or performing a real time update in accordance with a localized clock or shared signal.
In another aspect, the configuration component 430 can cause the communications component 410 to alter communications protocols in order to communicate with various remote networks. This can include configuring an Ethernet or other type device for example, to translate a first protocol to a plurality of various other communications protocols. For example, one remote system may be adapted for communications on a gateway or local wireless network. The communications module 410 upon receiving a command from the configuration component 430, can switch protocols at runtime if desired, and does not necessarily require a device reboot, re-initialization, and/or power cycle, from a standard network protocol (e.g., Ethernet/IP), to a native protocol employed by the remote system such as an alternative Ethernet application-layer protocol delivered via standard Ethernet TCP/IP/UDP messaging and data exchange (e.g., Modbus/TCP (Modbus on TCP), NDDS, ProfiNet, and others of the like). The remote system can be configured to communicate upon receiving a network command sequence in its native protocol, yet, ignore standard protocol commands. Alternatively, the communications component 410 can induce a remote network switch to activate when attempting to access the remote system in its native protocol (e.g., electronic switch that switches from network connection A to connection B).
In another aspect of the present invention, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocols (DHCP) can be employed in accordance with the configuration component 430, the communication component 410 and/or distribution component 450 to facilitate more automated determinations of network configurations. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a communications protocol that enables automation of assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in a controller network. Utilizing the Internet Protocol, respective machines that can connect to the Internet generally require a unique IP address. Thus, without DHCP, IP addresses may have to be entered manually at respective controllers/computers and, if computers move to another location in another part of the network, a new IP address is subsequently entered. DHCP facilitates distribution of IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a network device such as a controller is coupled into a different place in the network. DHCP also supports static addresses for devices containing web servers that need a permanent IP address. DHCP can be employed as an alternative to other network IP management protocols, such as Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) that is also supported by the present invention. Although, DHCP may be considered a more advanced protocol, both configuration management protocols are commonly employed. It is noted that a DHCP or BOOTP client is a program that is located in (can be downloaded via distribution component 450) respective controllers or remote systems so that it can be configured.
What has been described above are preferred aspects of the present invention. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the present invention, but one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the present invention are possible. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Details97 points James Suckling I have never been a huge fan of this Lafite but it seems to be coming into its own now. It's a wine with a character of cloves and berries with hints plums. It shows loads of potpourri. Roses too. Full and so balanced. Tight and youthful. The winemaker at Lafite says that when he wants to show someone a perfect example of Pauillac this is the Lafite he pours. Maybe he is right? (12/2013) 93 points Wine Spectator Subtle, yet rich and decadent, offering meat, sweet berry and fresh leather on the nose. Full and very soft, with velvety tannins and a long, fruity finish. This has so much ripe fruit. Reserved and firm, this is turning to a very fine and shy Lafite. This is fresh and structured, but still holding back.

For Affiliated Providers
Standard process
If a Southern Cross member needs a healthcare service that you are contracted for, please request prior approval through the Affiliated Provider system, Provider Web.
Processing mixed Affiliated Provider/non-contracted services
Sometimes a member's treatment includes several healthcare services on the same day. One service might be contracted and the other might not. When this happens, you need to request approval for the contracted service(s) through Provider Web, then request approval for the non-contracted service by contacting your Relationship Manager with full estimates and a description of the service. Let the member know you are requesting approval for the non-contracted service and that Southern Cross will contact them if we have any questions. The Relationship Manager will help organise approval for the non-contracted service with the Claims Approval team and the member.
For non-contracted providers
Standard process
Southern Cross members can confirm cover under their policy via our prior approval service. Members must obtain prior approval if the cost of the healthcare service is likely to be more than $1,000 or where it involves any hospitalisation (including day stay or in patient surgery). Members can call us on 0800 800 181 or apply online through My Southern Cross, our secure online service for members. After treatment, members need to submit a claim in order to get reimbursed. They can do this easily online or by downloading a claim form, attaching their invoices and posting to us.
Requesting prior approval on behalf of a member
We frequently receive letters and emails from non-contracted providers requesting prior approval on behalf of Southern Cross members. These requests can only be processed once the member gets in touch with us as there is additional information that needs to be collected from them. It is not necessary for providers to send us these requests as we can often get the details we need from them over the phone. Alternatively, providers can supply all the relevant information to Southern Cross members so that they can contact us directly for prior approval.
For providers wanting to apply for prior approval on behalf of a Southern Cross member, we offer this benefit through the Affiliated Provider programme. If you would like to offer this service to members, please contact us about joining the Affiliated Provider programme on 0800 770 843 or email email@example.com

Unlucky 13
I sink farther under the water in the tub. The bubbles are so close to engulfing me. Oh my god! What time is it? I look at the radio clock and saw it was only 8:30. "Ok, good," I thought, closed my eyes and let the bubbles take over my body. "Gracie." Quickly, I popped up out of the tub looking. Gracie? No one's called me that since the accident. Now I go by my full name, Gracelyn. And if you're wondering, yes my parents were Elvis freaks.
I decide to let the water go down a little so I can shave. I just begin when, I... I see something in the mirror. A little girl. I turn around and nick my self. But, luckily, no one's there. When I go back to shaving I find my self looking at, at..... Her. "You're, bleeding." Her voice is barely understandable she's so quiet. " But... not as much as me." she smiles and begins to dance like a very, very bad ballerina. Then I see it. A face a haven't wanted to even think about in 13 years.
Her dress is bloody with rare spots of it's orginal color, white. Her teeth are pinkish. Her hair hasn't been touched. It's still the same wavey blonde it was when she was 6. Now she should be 19, but no, she's still 6. She'll always be 6.
"Christy. What do you want?" I asked her.
" Nothing, Sissy. I just want to play. But, not with the kite." She said kite like it was a curse. " No I'm not gonna play. I have a big date tonight." I told it how it is. " Ooooooo, Gracie's got a date, but I thought you can't date until you are 16. You're only 13." She pointed at me. Wait a sec, what can she see doesn't she see I'm 26? "What do you see?" I asked her.
"You." Christy satdown next to me. " Yes, but, Chrissy how old am I?" I looked into here soft blue eyes. After all, it was my fault she's here.
I wish I could make that day go away forever. God, I re-live it almost every day. Aunt Crystal had just bought me a new kite. I loved kites, so immediatley I ran out side while Aunt Crystal and our mom went out. Christy was mezmerized by my yellow and green kite. She asked if she could play with it, I was so close to saying no, but I knew she would tell. She always was a tattletale. I let her fly and she got it stuck on the roof. I yelled and yelled at her to get it down. We lived in a huge victorian mansion. 3 stories actually. She climbed to the attic and procceed to the roof. I yelled at her some more. I called her baby and yelled it reak loud. Christy looked down, and just like that, I was digging a hole. It was under the deck. I wrapped my baby sister's body up in garbage bag, and burried her.
She was trying to make me tell the truth I know it. When the police asked me about her I told them a lie. One that I won't get to go to heaven for telling. I told them about our neighbor and how he was kissing and touching her then he hit her with his shovel. The same one I burried her with. He was arressted and then he cursed me. He went on about how if I don't tell the truth, Christy will find me. And sure enough, her she is.

Trehalose and glycogen are generally regarded as the two main reserve carbohydrates in yeast. However, several lines of evidence suggest that trehalose does not primarily function as a reserve but as a highly efficient protecting agent to maintain strutural integrity of the cytoplasm under environmental stress conditions.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
A woman by the name of Michelle Tabaczynski is using husky puppies to scam people. I was a victim, and she had the nerve to send me the exact same message a few days later.
Thanks for your interest in my puppies.We do have two males and two females available, (Jake and Nazy) are the males while (Katy and Milo) are the females husky puppies we have available and you find attached to this mail pictures of the puppies we have available now so do also let us know the name of the puppy as seen on the pics .They are of traditional black/white color with blue eyes,brown and grey.These lovely puppies are 10weeks 5days now and are home raised and potty trained and very friendly with children.they are AKC registered puppies .Adorable and sociable with great personalities and very good bloodlines.they are vet-checked, up to date on shots and de-worming, and are health guaranteed.. All the papers will accompany the puppies. So sorry for all the questions okay, We are located in Greenville ,Ohio ,USA just want to know where my puppies are going to. One of our puppies will cost you $300 and that will include shipping to your area if you are far and will not be willing to come for pick up.
How is the nature of your job? Are you married? with kids? Do you often go on Vacations or business trips? Where are you located and can we have your mobile phone number? Just to know how their new home would look like.
All me and my lovely family have ever offered these puppies from day one is just love and that is what is making them grow very healthy and happy and that is all what we want them to experience in their new loving home.My wife and I just had a new baby boy and we recently moved to our new home in Greenville ,Ohio , with much space.So if you are sure of giving any of these lovely puppies a befitting happy home,then we would be very much happy to let them go over to you.
Please email back to confirm to us if you are willing to give them a good home.Just let me know the sex and the name of the puppy you need as seen on the pics we sent to you.Pups come with following documents.............
Akc/Nkc/Fci Registered Paper, one Year health Guarantee, health Insurance Paper, Vet Record, Birth Certificate Shot Books, Toys And Foods Price:$300"
Only real difference, is the price. It WAS 200, and she is claimming to be in Ohio now. I was trying to get Katy, but of course, she never arrived. After she sent the messages saying the dog was sent, a man from California called me. His voice was not american, I could barely understand a word. He was talking about the female white husky and being a delivery man, but sense I couldn't understand him, I hung out. Found out later, Michelle had done this before, and the man was probably going to ask for $800+ insurance on the puppy, from what I've read now.
ALWAYS look up the persons name AND email, it can save you from so much. I hope this person gets what coming to her. A hell to be risen.

#1 REBUTTAL Individual responds
Real Michelle Tabaczynski
SUBMITTED: Monday, August 29, 2016POSTED: Monday, August 29, 2016
Hello this is the REAL Michelle Tabaczynski. I would like to start by clearing up a few things. I have never taken one dime from anyone for the purchase of a Husky Puppy. This website Rip Off does absolutely no verification of any type. If they did these comments about me would never be allowed but anyone at anytime can write whatever they wish. To clear up this matter you must do one of two things write a rebuttal or take the company to court for slander. I am honestly tired of court and spending thousands of dollars for this to clear my name.
Let's go back about four yrs now. I was one of the lucky ones who did get caught up in scams. You see I have lost thousands of dollars, which was my hard earned money. I have also lost family, friends and assets because no one cared but me. A person name is everything and if that is all you have left you protect it with all you have. I have lost everything I own because of this evil person who took my name and was using it to do the same to others scam them out of money using my name. I know this because of everything I have gone through. I am not supposed to speak of this but I really do not care anymore the truth must come out. This has taken everything from me and I am sick and tired of these people not speaking the truth because of their own stupidity. I have been there and I do understand you are embarrassed so was I. But I have lost everything I own including my own children because they do not believe me at all. They believe in these lies from people like you being scammed by an indivual using my name. You did not check into things just like I did not until it was too late and I have to defend myself in court. I do not want anyone to go through the hell I have gone though over the years.
I have never lived anywhere else other then the state I was born and raised in. If you have proof that I have taken money from you I would really love to see that because it never happened. You are being scammed by a group of people and not by just one person. These groups of individuals run a puppy mill in Cameroon. I know that for a fact as well because of all the things that I have gone through over the years. I am able to stand behind my statements because they are based on fact and not emotions.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Long day on the freeway
... Indiana and then were absolutely floored when we had to pay $18.50 in Ohio because we were over 7' 6" high. Lucky the gas is so cheap, and the highway rest stops were very nice.
Oh, and somewhere today we crossed into another time zone - no idea where but it's later than we thought. Guess that's why it got dark so early.
The Door is being DIS-RESPECTFUL
Woke up sleepy but refreshed and ready for a new fun filled day! Got hannah up and ready with 20 min to spare for breakfast. We enjoyed French toast and strawberry yogurt. Plus an awesome cup of coffee, and hannah brought some tea for later, back to the room. I laughed so hard when we got back to the room- hannah has her own card, and when the door ...
A Ride Back in Time
... Casablanca of Adam Sandler movies, but before you get too excited and think that this means it is good, remember that Adam Sandler movies represent the armpit of Hollywood, and the best of a bad lot is still pretty bad. Nevertheless, it was definitely better than Minions, IMDB user ratings notwithstanding. The movie is entirely predictable--I did, in fact, predict (accurately) the ending about 15 minutes into the movie. The writing ...
So, for those of you who don't know, both my Mom and my Dad hail from the same area of northwest Pennsylvania, near Meadville, PA. My last trip to Meadville was around 1980, when as a surly 12 year old I wasn't interested in anything at all about my family or their history. Thanks to the magic of Facebook (and living in Las Vegas, where everyone shows up eventually), I have reconnected with my cousin Kimmie and her husband Donnie. When we ...

It began with the dinette slide out not retracting. We pushed the button and it would come in a few inches and stop. I took part of our food staples out of the storage under the dinette bench and it would retract. But it would come in with a catch as it rose over the floor. Matt ...

Things can only get better
1997 was the first election I was eligible to vote in. As a young student I attended an election night party and cheered along with everyone else when Michael Portillo lost his seat. Oh the irony. That was the moment we all truly felt things had changed, and like the song said, could only get better. Like many, the only government I could remember was a Tory one and how they were hated. At that time, fit and active despite various health problems caused by a condition I didn't know I had, access meant nothing more to me than the ridiculously steep ramp being built outside my university building.
11 years later times have changed. Radically so. 1998 was the year in which I first had personal internet access, a present from an incredibly thoughtful friend to keep me entertained whilst recovering from the first of many surgeries. A mobile phone was still a year away, my own pc further still, consumer goods being proportionally so much more expensive than today.
Ironically, as I saw my own world shrink through increasing disability, the wider world became smaller and more accessible via developing technology. I found information, support and in time whole communities of people just like myself. The disabled community is diverse and to attempt to view us as all the same would be as ridiculous as the suggestion that all football fans are hooligans.
It is not just technology which has altered over the past 11 years. I do not remember ever hearing the term benefit scrounger when I was at university. I do remember the first time I was given that label though. A family member who was struggling to find work after university would regularly inform me that I was scum. Benefit scrounging scum. It was people like me who were preventing him from gaining employment. Don't ask me how that illogical thought process was supposed to work, but as an unemployed graduate no different to any other, this person had bought in to the belief that if one did as they were told and went to university a well paid and interesting job would fall into their lap. Obviously without having to go through the hassle of applying for one. When it became clear that wouldn't happen, unable to find anyone else to hold responsible, they blamed me, held up to represent all those 'nasty benefit scroungers' so bemoaned for a whole variety of wider social problems.
The current climate is one where many disabled people are afraid. The Disability Discrimination Act is toothless, hate crimes against disabled people are on the rise yet not given the recognition or status of other hate crimes, access to services is routinely denied by local authorities, and the vital financial support provided in the form of benefits is being attacked by a government determined to demonise the most vulnerable as they turn their backs on the true issues facing the welfare state.
There is just one major commonality I've found within the disabled community. Political engagement. So many aspects of our lives are affected by even the most minor political changes that without exception the disabled people and their carers whom I have met have all had strong political opinions. Voting is important to this group.
So, just who will disabled people be voting for today? Those with learning difficulties are likely to be ruled out by the inaccessibility of the process and lack of suitable information. Those with physical disabilities are also subject to access issues. In the last general election access to my local polling station was via a muddy track. I collapsed when I arrived, had to be given a chair, water and assisted back out. Those helping me told me that earlier that day they had carried someone from the car to the booths as it was impossible for a wheelchair to access. When I arrived to vote today I was, laughingly, informed I was late. The men who register the votes had expected me earlier in the afternoon. Amongst what they expected to be around a 25% turnout some of us are more noticeable than others. Not necessarily for the right reasons. Postal voting has helped, but for those who have issues with their signature it can be a complicated process, and many, like myself want to feel engaged with the process by physically going to register their vote.
I have no idea who the disabled vote will go to. I just know this. I cannot bring myself to vote for a party so desperate to label the most vulnerable as scum. True equality seems very distant today.

You know me BG, I leave you to do all the political clever stuff. Thank you for this and previous posts which I have read but having been struck down with non-specific virus which hit me like a truck which I have just wobbly surfaced, will read again, then again to digest plethora of info fully. I would vote for you (new career perhaps?), the others just simply don't understand how they propose to mess with our lives. Glad you are back with a vengeance BG.

European Commission developing new EU nanotechnology research, development and innovation strategy
|The European Commissions DG for Research and Innovation is in the process of gathering data in support of evidence-based policy-making in the field of research and innovation in nanosciences and nanotechnologies.
|With nanotechnologies being one of the key enabling technologies, the EC considers them to be of systemic importance for the innovative capacity of a wide range of industries and the economy as a whole. The emerging field of nanotechnology has the potential to lead (and has already led) to substantial advances in many sectors for example energy, medicine, electronics, construction and clean technologies while contributing to substantial economic growth, say Christos Tokamanis, Head of Unit, Advanced Materials and Nanotechnologies in a letter to survey participants.
|There is wide recognition that it could prove to be one of the research and industry strengths of the European research and innovation system, he continues.
|Recognising the importance of nanotechnologies and their application in very different fields, the European Commission believes this survey will help develop evidence-based policy-making in the field of research and innovation in nanosciences and nanotechnologies, which aims to:
|The survey will help with this by improving the knowledge of the nanotechnology field and of the related industrial and research sectors and help the European Commission to better align its research and innovation policies with developments worldwide, facilitate better informed decision-making and take into account input from a wide range of external stakeholders.

This recipe makes enough lasagna for five to six people -- including seconds! When this dish comes out of the oven, let it rest for a few minutes to ensure beautiful, clean slices. You can also reheat it the next day for out-of-this-world leftovers. From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).
- Servings: 12
Source: Mad Hungry, September 2010
- 1 pound lasagna noodles or packaged precooked lasagna noodles
- coarse salt
- 5 links sweet Italian sausage, or a mixture of hot and sweet, pierced with a fork
- 1 large egg
- 1 pound ricotta cheese
- 3/4 cup freshly grated pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 5 cups Basic Italian Tomato Sauce, (double the recipe and cook for 30 minutes longer to thicken)
- 1 pound fresh or prepackaged mozzarella cheese, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices
- extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles and a generous pinch of salt and cook for half as long as the package suggests. Drain and float in cold water. (Skip this step if noodles are precooked.)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, fry the sausage links until cooked through, about 10 minutes. With kitchen scissors, cut the sausage into disks in the pan and continue to fry over low heat until the cut surfaces are crispy, about 20 minutes. Drain off the fat.
In a medium bowl, stir together the egg, ricotta, and 1/2 cup of the pecorino.
To assemble the lasagna, spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Drain and pat dry the noodles. Overlap one third of the noodles atop the sauce to cover the pan bottom. Spread all the cooked sausage over the noodles and spoon over another cup of sauce. Lay down the second third of noodles. Evenly dollop all the ricotta mixture on top of the noodles and flatten with the spoon to make an even layer. Top with the remaining noodles to completely cover the cheese. Pour over 1 1/2 to 2 cups sauce to cover. Evenly lay all the mozzarella slices on top. Sprinkle around the remaining 1/4 cup pecorino and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the lasagna is bubbling all over and lightly golden on top. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with grated cheese and warmed extra sauce at the table.
