Adaptics Partners and Collaborations

Adaptics, Inc has worked extensively with other organizations in the development and application of the ADAPTx software. To explore some of these relationships, links to other Web sites are provided:

• Alert Systems, Inc.The ADAPTx software is being used in the Recovery Boiler Advisor software from Alert Systems for monitoring and fault detection of the complex dynamics of black liquor recovery boilers for recovery of salts used in the pulping process. Using ADAPTx, the detection of very small tube leaks are possible with operating data taken in the presence of process feedback and non-steady state conditions.
• The MathWorks, Inc., is the developer and distributor of MATLAB, the dominant high-level productivity tool used by engineers and scientists. ADAPTx runs under MATLAB on all Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX platforms so that it can be easily integrated with other MATLAB based software.
• Visual Solutions is the developer and distributor of VisSim software for nonlinear system simulation using a very intuitive graphical user interface. The models determined from ADAPTx system identification on measurement data can be used directly for system blocks in VisSim.
• Dale E. Seborg, Department of Chemical and Nuclear Engineering,University of California at Santa Barbara. A close collaboration between Adaptics and UCSB has resulted in six published papers (see references) authored by Professor Seborg and other researchers on identification and control of chemical and industrial processes.
• John Baillieul, Chairman of the Department of Manufacturing Engineering, Boston University. In a SBIR Contract from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the CVA method was extended to very general nonlinear system and illustrated with the Lorenz attractor (see references).
• Robert Sclabassi, Professor of Neurological Surgery, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh. The CVA method was used in a SBIR Grant from NIH for the study of neural monitoring (see references).
• Franklin T. Luk, Department of Computer Science Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. A joint project with Adaptics on the implementation of CVA on massively parallel computers, systolic arrays, resulted in the publication of several joint papers (see references)
