One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for parsing tabular data of a document. That is, a document may comprise arbitrarily formatted content (e.g., an equipment inspection report generated by an engineer). Respective rows of the document may be clustered into one or more row clusters based upon row proximity and/or numeric content (e.g., rows having similar numeric content may comprise logically related information). One or more vertical clusters may be generated within respective… Show more

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for parsing tabular data of a document. That is, a document may comprise arbitrarily formatted content (e.g., an equipment inspection report generated by an engineer). Respective rows of the document may be clustered into one or more row clusters based upon row proximity and/or numeric content (e.g., rows having similar numeric content may comprise logically related information). One or more vertical clusters may be generated within respective row clusters based upon vertical overlap. In this way, row clusters and/or vertical clusters may be searched for one or more values that may be assigned to a search term. For example, a row cluster may comprise a search term "Average temp". One or more vertical clusters within the row cluster may be searched for a word that matches a pattern criteria (e.g., a two digit number), which may be assigned to the search term. Show less

A method and an apparatus for calculating the number of turns per segment of a transformer coil winding which has a plurality of segments connected in series. The number of turns per segments is computed by assigning to segments predefined parameters related to customer requirements. Then a system of linear equations is automatically generated and the equations are simultaneously solved.

A method and apparatus for describing and managing properties of a transformer coil. A metadata text file is generated which contains metadata describing objects of the transformer coil. The objects are arranged hierarchically and have one or more related properties attached therewith. One or more properties of one object refer to one or more other properties of the same object or of other objects by means of paths defined in the metadata text file. The generated metadata text file is then… Show more

A method and tool for creating documentation for a transformer design uses design files created during the transformer design process to generate drawings and other information necessary to populate documentation. The design files contain information relating to the physical layout of all of the components of the coil as well as the electrical connectivity of the windings. The method and tool retrieve the design information, construct the associated drawings, format the drawings to the… Show more

The design files contain information relating to the physical layout of all of the components of the coil as well as the electrical connectivity of the windings. The method and tool retrieve the design information, construct the associated drawings, format the drawings to the appropriate sizes, and display any associated text.

A method and product are described for creating a model of a physical layout and/or a circuit layout of an electrical device. The layouts are defined in a user interface. A text file having metadata elements in a hierarchical format is produced that can be used by other programs.

A preferred method for evaluating a transformer design using data representing test results from a plurality of transformers and stored in a data base includes comparing the data representing test results to predetermined criteria for the test results to determine whether the test results satisfy the predetermined criteria. The preferred method also includes counting the number of the test results that do not satisfy the predetermined criteria, and generating an indication that a predetermined… Show more

A preferred method for evaluating a transformer design using data representing test results from a plurality of transformers and stored in a data base includes comparing the data representing test results to predetermined criteria for the test results to determine whether the test results satisfy the predetermined criteria. The preferred method also includes counting the number of the test results that do not satisfy the predetermined criteria, and generating an indication that a predetermined quantity of the test results do not satisfy the predetermined criteria if at least the predetermined quantity of the test results do not satisfy the predetermined criteria.

A method and system are described for creating a metadata text file corresponding to a geometry of a physical layout and/or a circuit layout of an electrical device. The layouts are defined in a user interface. A text file having metadata elements in a hierarchical format is produced that can be used by other programs.
