Publication number: 20220108151Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for utilizing an augmented neural network are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes utilizing a neural network (NN) pre-processor to convert generic coordinates associated with a dynamical system to canonical coordinates, concatenating a Hamiltonian neural network (HNN) to the NN pre-processor to create a generalized HNN, and training the generalized HNN to learn nonlinear dynamics present in the dynamical system from generic training data. The method also includes utilizing the trained generalized HNN to forecast the nonlinear dynamics, and quantifying chaotic behavior from the forecasted nonlinear dynamics to discover and map one or more transitions between orderly states and chaotic states exhibited by the dynamical system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Inventors: William Lawrence Ditto, John Florian Lindner, Sudeshna Sinha, Scott Thomas Miller, Anshul Choudhary, Elliott Gregory Holliday

Patent number: 9381556Abstract: A roller for a rolling mill with a casing, a left half pivot, and a right half pivot. The half pivots in the region surrounded by the casing are constructed as a truncated cone and form a left surface on the left half pivot and a right surface on the right half pivot. The left half pivot and the right half pivot have boreholes and corresponding grooves formed on the surfaces. The half pivots are inserted in the casing and are braced with one another by at least one tie rod. An hydraulic oil in boreholes and grooves is passed into or onto the left half pivot and the right half pivot. The hydraulic oil exerts a pressure on the casing to expand the casing. With the casing expanded, the stop surfaces and the face surfaces of the casing are pressed onto one another by the tie rod.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2008Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: SMS GROUP GMBHInventors: Florian Lindner, Jochen Münker, Olaf Norman Jepsen, Peter Rainer
