An apparatus for in vitro testing of medical device thrombogenicity includes an enclosure; a heating element thermally coupled to the enclosure; and a temperature feedback circuit operably coupled to the heating element and configured to control the heating element to maintain an interior of the enclosure within a preset temperature range. Positive, negative, and intermediate control rods are provided as standards against which to compare a medical device test article. Multiple blood test loops can be established through the enclosure using a common blood supply. The medical device test article can be placed in one of the loops, while the remaining loops can contain controls. Blood can be circulated through the test loops at a flow rate similar to that encountered in vivo, and thrombus formation can be assessed thereafter.

A rotational negative-inertia converter (RNIC) has a housing enclosing a flywheel configured to rotate around an axis of symmetry; a motor with a stator attached to the housing and a rotor attached to the flywheel to rotate it around the axis of symmetry; a housing angular accelerometer attached to said housing; a flywheel angular accelerometer; and a controller configured to receive measured accelerometer values from the accelerometers. The controller is configured to drive the motor to maintain the angular acceleration of the flywheel at a value proportional to the housing angular acceleration, with a predetermined proportionality constant.

A method for calibrating an ADCS testbed comprising a DUT holder with three RNICs includes: using measured angular velocities of the DUT holder and RNIC flywheels, and ZGT data, to compute moments of inertia of the DUT holder with and without a satellite with ADCS, allowing compensation for those moments by the RNICs.

A method for testing the wear of tires running on a rolling road comprises the following steps: using the construction data of the vehicle and a dynamic equilibrium model, determining the relationship between the speed and the accelerations at the centre of gravity of the vehicle, and the angles and directional forces applied on a given axle; continuously recording the speed and the accelerations of a vehicle travelling on a predetermined route; and disposing the two tires belonging to a same axle on the rolling road and, depending on the recorded speed and acceleration values, the values of the angle of camber, load and longitudinal forces are applied, at all times, on each of the wheels of the axle. The values of the transverse forces undergone by each of the wheels are measured and the drift angle is varied so that the sum of the transverse forces resulting from the drifting of the tires is equal, at all times, to the transverse force applied to the centre of the axle and so that the difference in drift between the two wheels respects the variation in alignment imposed on the axle.

A method for detecting anomalies during operation of an asset to improve performance of the asset includes collecting, via a server, data relating to operation of the asset or a group of assets containing the asset. The data includes normal and abnormal asset behavior of the asset or the group of assets containing the asset. Further, the method includes automatically removing, via an iterative algorithm programmed in the server that utilizes one or more inputs or outputs of an anomaly detection analytic, portions of the data containing the abnormal asset behavior to form a dataset containing only the normal asset behavior.
