Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for querying a graph based on applying filters to a visual representation of the graph. The system allows complicated graph query operations to be performed with ease visually. During operation, the system obtains data indicating vertices and edges of a graph. The system displays a visual representation of the graph for a user. The system receives, from the user, a command defining a local graph filter comprising a region in the visual representation. The system then filters a representation of the graph, and stores the filtered representation.

TRANSFERABLE HYBRID PROGNOSTICS BASED ON FUNDAMENTAL DEGRADATION MODES
A transferable hybrid method for prognostics of engineering systems based on fundamental degradation modes is provided. The method includes developing a degradation model that represents degradation modes shared in different domains of application through the integration of physics and machine learning. The system measures sensor signals and data processing provides for extracting health indicators correlated with the fundamental degradation modes from sensors data. For the integration of physics and machine learning, the degradation mode is separated into different phases. Before the accelerated degradation phase of a system, the method is looking out to detect when the accelerated phase begins. When accelerated phase is active, the system applies a machine-learning model to provide information on the accelerated degradation phase, and evolves the degradation towards a failure threshold in a simulation of the updated physics-based model to predict the degradation progression. The system estimates the remaining useful life of the target system.

SYSTEM AND METHOD USING IMPROVED MESSAGE QUEUE AND PACKING SCHEME FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A system and method provide a combination of a modular message structure, a priority-based message packing scheme, and a data packet queue management system to optimize the information content of a transmitted message in, for example, the Ocean of Things (OoT) environment. The modular message structure starts with a header that provides critical information and reference points for time and location. The rest of the message is composed of modular data packets, each of which has a data ID section that the message decoder uses for reference when reconstructing the message contents, an optional size section that specifies the length of the following data section if it can contain data of variable length, and a data section that can be compressed in a manner unique to that data type. The message packing scheme uses a combination of priority level and minimum reporting interval, both of which are dynamically configurable for each data packet type, to maximize the value of the information contained in the modular data packets included in each message. Finally, the data packet queues manage temporary storage of data packets that have been generated but not yet included in an outgoing message.

A method and system for diagnosing any combination of persistent and intermittent faults. The behavior of a system under test is obtained by measuring or probing the system at a particular location(s). The predicted behavior of a modeled system corresponding to the system under test is investigated by drawing inferences based on at least conditional probabilities, prior observations and component models. The predictions are compared to their corresponding points in the system under test. A determination is made if a conflict exists between the measured behavior and the predicted behavior, and the conditional probabilities are adjusted to more and more accurately reflect the action fault(s) in the system under test. The conflicts or deviations between the obtained predicted behavior and the actual behavior are used to isolate the components of the system causing the faults.

A process for generating with unification based grammars such as Lexical Functional Grammars which uses construction and analysis of generation guides to determine internal facts and eliminate incomplete edges prior to constructing a generation chart. The generation guide can then be used in the construction of the generation chart to efficiently generate with unification-based grammars such as Lexical Functional Grammars. The generation guide is an instance of a grammar that has been specialized to the input and only contains those parts of the grammar that are relevant to the input. When the generation guide is analyzed to determine internal facts a smaller generation chart is produced.
