Embodiments include predicting transactions by an entity and identifying promotions to offer the entity. Aspects include parsing a plurality of event records corresponding to a plurality of entities respectively. Aspects also include identifying a sequence of events corresponding to the entity and discretizing time durations and event values of the sequence of events into discrete symbolic values. Aspects further include generating a temporal pattern of events in the sequence of events, the temporal pattern including a sequence of transaction-symbols representative of the time duration and the event value of the events in the sequence of events of the entity and predicting a next transaction based on the temporal pattern.

A system and method are provided. The system includes a feature calculator calculates features of a Pressure Volume diagram. The system further includes a pumpjack condition separator separates normal pumpjack conditions from abnormal pumpjack conditions using a hierarchical decision tree, the conditions being determined using the features. The system also includes a compound indicator generator generates a compound indicator when a predetermined number of at least one of features and conditions exceed respective thresholds. The system additionally includes an abnormal PV diagram indicator provides a user-perceptible indication that the PV diagram is abnormal when the compound indicator exceeds a compound indicator threshold.

Identifying abnormal pumpjack conditions

A method for establishing correspondences between mobile communication users and their network accounts includes acquiring an identifier of one of the mobile communication users and access information corresponding to the identifier from a communication stream. The access information includes Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) associated with network resources that have been accessed by the one of the mobile communication users. The method further includes acquiring a first set of network accounts associated with the URLs, and determining a second set of network accounts corresponding to the one of the mobile communication users based on the first set of network accounts.

Correspondences establishment between mobile user and network accounts

A method and system for handing off a terminal among a plurality of wireless access points (APs) connected to a central management AP. The method comprising: receiving network condition information of a terminal communicatively connected to a first wireless AP among the plurality of wireless APs. Determining a second wireless AP the plurality of wireless APs to which the terminal is to be handed off based on the network condition information of the terminal. The second wireless AP is virtually connected to the terminal. Submitting a handoff request to the second wireless AP. Notifying the terminal to hand off to the second wireless AP in response to receiving a handoff response from the second wireless AP.

Handing off a terminal among wireless access points

A road segment set influenced by an event on the basis of a connected network is identified. The connected network is built on the basis of reachability of a road segment in the road network. Furthermore, each road segment in the road segment set is reachable via the road network from the location of the event, or, in the alternative, the location of the event is reachable via the road network from each road segment in the road segment set. A query index is generated on the basis of the event and the road segment set.

Generating a query index and querying on the basis of the query index

A method and apparatus for reorganizing display of a railway timetable diagram. A method of reorganizing the display of a railway timetable diagram, including: generating a relational graph by using a multiple of stations in the railway timetable diagram and correlations between the stations; partitioning the relational graph according to a partition rule, where the partition rule reduces lines crossing in at least one page and/or section in at least one page in a reorganized railway timetable diagram, where the lines representing an association between respective stations along a path in the reorganized railway timetable diagram; and displaying a reorganized railway timetable diagram based on a result of the partitioning. An apparatus for reorganizing the display of a railway timetable diagram.

The present invention relates to a switch monitoring method and a switch monitoring system, a railway line management method and a railway line management system. Electric signal of a switch motor during pulling of the switch can effectively reflect status of the switch, when the switch is in a stable state, electric signal of its motor is very steady during pulling of the switch; however, when the switch is in an unstable state, there will be different degrees of fluctuation in electric signal of its motor during pulling of the switch. Thus, the invention may be used to identify state of a switch by monitoring electric signal of a switch motor, and further take different measures based on different states of the switch. With these measures, accidents due to switch failure may be effectively reduced, and train delay time may also be reduced through proper line management.

Switch monitoring and railway line management

A database system and a method of optimizing cross-database query. The database system includes a plurality of databases. At least two of the databases are stored with one or more data collections composed of tables with the same structure. A federated view of the data collection is created on each of the databases. A request routing layer for routing, in response to a query request crossing the data collections, the query request crossing the data collections to one of the at least two databases according to a predetermined routing rule, so as to query by using the federated view of the database.
