Publication number: 20240143425Abstract: An anomaly diagnosis system obtains a plurality of anomaly signals corresponding to a plurality of sensor signals of a physical system and segments one or more anomaly signals into a plurality of time segments. The system determines an anomaly score for each time segment based on anomaly values of the one or more anomaly signals during the time segment and identifies an anomaly time interval corresponding to at least one consecutive time segment within the plurality of time segments. The system clusters the plurality of anomaly signals within the anomaly time interval to identify an anomaly group of sensor signals associated with the anomaly time interval and determines an aggregate anomaly score for the anomaly group. The system generates a graphical user interface presenting a representation of the anomaly group of sensor signals and the aggregate anomaly scores and causes the graphical user interface to be displayed on a user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: JOSEPH PORTER, VUKASIN TOROMAN, DANIEL KEARNS, NAMRATA RAO, NIKUNJ R.

Publication number: 20240112016Abstract: A computer system for managing a machine learning model that detects potential anomalies in the operation of a complex system is disclosed. In some embodiments, the computer system is programmed to receive sensor signal data originally produced by sensors of the complex system. The sensor signal data can include values for multiple sensor signals at multiple resolutions. The computer system is programmed to train, from given sensor signal data, the machine learning model that comprises one or more transformers, each transformer capturing a set of relationships between signals in a predetermined group of signals. During training, the computer system is programmed to also establish an expected range for an indicator of the relationship. The computer system is programmed to then execute the machine learning model on new sensor signal data and take remedial steps when any computed indicator falls outside the expected range, indicating a potential anomaly in the operation of the complex system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: VUKASIN TOROMAN, DANIEL KEARNS, JOSEPH PORTER, CHARU SINGH, NIKUNJ MEHTA

Patent number: 11159130Abstract: Various methods and circuital arrangements for protection of an RF amplifier are presented. According to one aspect, the RF amplifier is part of switchable RF paths that include at least one path with one or more attenuators that can be used during normal operation to define different modes of operation of the at least one path. An RF level detector monitors a level of an RF signal during operation of any one of the switchable RF paths and forces the RF signal through the at least one path with one or more attenuators while controlling the attenuators to provide an attenuation of the RF signal according to a desired level of protection at an input and/or output of the RF amplifier.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: pSemi CorporationInventors: Parvez Daruwalla, Joseph Porter Slaton

Publication number: 20050251397Abstract: A dynamically configurable threat scanning machine management system is capable of tracking information associated with one ore more items and/or passengers. A central control computer network can transmit, among other things, operational software and threat profiles to the threat scanning machines, while the threat scanning machines can transmit, among other things, images and performance data to the central computer that can be distributed to one or more operator stations for review and analysis. The threat scanning machine management system can be arranged in a hierarchical manner, which enables threat scanning machines at various locations to be connected into regional, national or international control centers. The network may be wireless and the control computer may be portable, enabling a supervisor to remotely manage the system while remaining mobile. The tracked information allows, for example, comparison to other information to determine if an alarm or change in threat status is warranted.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2004Publication date: November 10, 2005Inventors: Joseph Zanovitch, Joseph Porter, Sheila Curry, Mark Gaug, Joseph Cecala
