Publication number: 20230291755Abstract: A method includes obtaining data associated with operation of a monitored system. The method also includes using one or more first machine learning models to identify anomalies in the monitored system based on the obtained data, where each anomaly identifies an anomalous behavior. The method further includes using one or more second machine learning models to classify each of at least some of the identified anomalies into one of multiple classifications. Different ones of the classifications are associated with different types of cyberthreats to the monitored system, and the identified anomalies are classified based on risk scores determined using the one or more second machine learning models. In addition, the method includes identifying, for each of at least some of the anomalies, one or more actions to be performed in order to counteract the cyberthreat associated with the anomaly.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2022Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Thomas M.

Publication number: 20220241859Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for generating a laser output beam having a functionally homogenized intensity distribution. According to some embodiments, a population of few modes in a multi-mode confinement core is excited by application of a low-moded source beam to the multi-mode confinement core, such that the population exhibit an unstable intensity distribution. The unstable intensity distribution is functionally homogenized by providing one or both of modulation of phase displacement in the multi-mode confinement core and variation of launch conditions of the low-moded source beam into the multi-mode confinement core.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2020Publication date: August 4, 2022Applicant: nLIGHT, Inc.Inventors: Juan Lugo, Aaron W.
