Abstract: A system and method for mitigating anomalies in a network device. One or a combination of mitigation actions may be pre-programmed into a plurality of customer premises equipment (CPE) devices. The mitigation actions may be available as temporary or permanent work arounds as problems are detected that match known or discovered patterns of log events. Unsupervised machine learning techniques may be used to identify and correlate new patterns of log events with device anomalies or malfunctions. When a new pattern of log events is discovered and correlated to an anomaly or malfunction in a group of CPE devices, the discovered pattern may be written to the group of CPE devices with instructions to use particular ones of the mitigation actions. The CPE devices can then, in examples, monitor their own logs to detect the patterns and implement one or more of the mitigation actions.

Abstract: Techniques for registering carbon sequestration include: receiving carbon sequestration data corresponding portions of a geographic region; comparing entries to a registry; assigning entries to clusters associated with carbon sequestration values; and determining a total carbon sequestration based on an aggregating of carbon sequestration values of the entries.

Such a calibrated carbon sequestration system demonstrates superior accuracy compared to satellite-based analysis, and is able to estimate carbon sequestration on a grid, enabling generalization across multiple forest types and scales of aggregation within a unified framework.
