Automated methods and systems for the detection and analysis of plaque in one or more regions of a patient's vasculature are described.

Automated methods and systems for vascular plaque detection and analysis

A real-time on board engine component performance tracking system for deriving high fidelity engine models capable of providing a reference level from which performance changes can be trended with reduced operating cost, increased safety, and increased reliability while minimizing memory requirements and maximizing speed.

Empirical tuning of an on board real-time gas turbine engine model

A method for modeling engine operation comprising the steps of: 1. collecting a first plurality of sensory data, 2. partitioning a flight envelope into a plurality of sub-regions, 3. assigning the first plurality of sensory data into the plurality of sub-regions, 4. generating an empirical model of at least one of the plurality of sub-regions, 5. generating a statistical summary model for at least one of the plurality of sub-regions, 6. collecting an additional plurality of sensory data, 7. partitioning the second plurality of sensory data into the plurality of sub-regions, 8. generating a plurality of pseudo-data using the empirical model, and 9. concatenating the plurality of pseudo-data and the additional plurality of sensory data to generate an updated empirical model and an updated statistical summary model for at least one of the plurality of sub-regions.
