International Classification:

G06F 17/60
G06F 15/21

US Classification:

705 1, 705 20, 705 40, 705 7, 705 8, 703 2, 703 6, 700 28, 395207

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods, media and systems for generating imputing econometric variables from raw econometric data. A method for generating cleansed initial dataset from corrected raw econometric data comprises inputting raw econometric data, formatting and classifying the raw econometric, conducting an initial error detection and correction, defining a store data set hierarchy, conducting a second error detection and correction, defining product attributes and demand groups, updating attribute information, defining equivalizing factors, conducting a third error detection and correction, subsetting data to facilitate increased processing speeds, conducting a fourth error detection and correction and outputting the cleansed initial dataset. Another embodiment, capable of generating imputing econometric variables from corrected raw econometric data comprises receiving the raw econometric data, detecting errors in the raw econometric data, correcting the detected errors in the raw econometric data to generate a cleansed initial dataset, and generating imputed econometric variables using the cleansed initial dataset.

International Classification:

Abstract:

A mobile firefighting system includes a water cannon enabled for spraying slush on or near a fire. The slush includes solid material (e.g., ice, solid fire retardant) that is projected farther than a liquid could be projected using high pressure. The slush has enhanced fire suppression and fire protection characteristics compared to a liquid. Multiple tanks add enhanced slush chilling capability (e.g., through sequenced chilling) and provide redundant backup systems. A mobile cannon includes multiple reducing nozzles that can be aimed by a rotating base and hydraulic cylinder (for raising and lowering). Continuous tracks and winches contribute to all-terrain capabilities.
