A system and method for learning and asserting what portions of a utility GIS network model are incorrect or flawed as they relate to real world conditions, and what the correct real world relationships are in the field is described. The system and method leverage available smart grid data to assess the quality of a primary (GIS) source data set; quality data renders derived analyzes across the utility valid, sound, and action worthy. The system and method utilize existing partially correct electrical network distribution model data and various non-specialized source data including smart meter, spatial, and customer information data collected from the network to test, validate and suggest corrections to the connectivity model. By forming putative ground truth assignments between utility components, the system tests the assumptions by examining the geospatial proximity and correlating voltage and event data over time to form refined hypothesis. These hypotheses are compared to the existing model and statistical tests are performed at a variety of confidence levels to propose a corrected network model to the user.

System and method for big data geographic information system discovery

A chromatography system including a chromatography column connected to receive a sample and separate different compounds in the sample, a flow-through detector that outputs a signal indicating the presence of compounds in the sample leaving the column, a fraction collector that directs fractions of the sample from the column to separate fraction wells, and an electronic controller that receives inputs from the detector and controls the fraction collector. The electronic controller monitors the signal from the detector over time and initiates a cut from one well to another at the fraction collector when the signal over time experiences a shoulder where the slope of the signal over time does not change in sign but does change by more than a predetermined amount.
