Patent number: 11822590Abstract: A system and method for automatically detecting misinformation is disclosed. The misinformation detection system is implemented using a cross-stitch based semi-supervised end-to-end neural attention model which is configured to leverage the large amount of unlabeled data that is available. In one embodiment, the model can at least partially generalize and identify emerging misinformation as it learns from an array of relevant external knowledge. Embodiments of the proposed system rely on heterogeneous information such as a social media post's text content, user details, and activity around the post, as well as external knowledge from the web, to identify whether the content includes misinformation. The results of the model are produced via an attention mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Shubhashis Sengupta, Milind Savagaonkar, Nidhi, Tanmoy Chakraborty, William Scott Paka, Rachit Bansal

Patent number: 11825609Abstract: Highly conductive electrical traces formed over mechanical steps or on non-planar surfaces with linewidths of 10 to 100 ?m and a method for forming such electrical traces are disclosed. The method employs two steps, with the first step using an aerosol jet printing (AJP) process to form thin electrical traces that serve as the seed layers for the second step. The first step preferably employs multiple passes with the AJP to create multiple seed sub-layers with improved continuity and conductivity. In the second step, the seed layers are subjected to an electrodeposition process that forms the bulk of the thickness of the electrical traces. The electrodeposition process may include one, two, or three phases at corresponding low or high biases, with low biases providing denser, more highly conductive plating sub-layers, while high biases provide plating sub-layers having better gap bridging properties.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignees: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, UNM Rainforest InnovationsInventors: Judith Maria Lavin, Lok-Kun Tsui

Patent number: 11821966Abstract: An optically pumped, atomic magnetometer incorporates a feedback system for stabilizing the magnetic bias field and suppressing unwanted background fields. The magnetic bias field is applied to a vapor cell containing host atoms of two different species, each of which resonates at a different Larmor frequency when both are subjected to the same magnetic bias field. One species provides the feedback for stabilizing the bias field, thereby creating a stabilizing magnetometer portion that nulls out the unwanted background fields. The other species provides magnetic field detection or signal reception on a radio communication frequency of interest, thereby creating a signal magnetometer portion that permits detection of the signal at the radio communication frequency.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLCInventors: Peter D.
