  • Publication number: 20240116797
    Abstract: A method includes producing filamentary damages in a volume of a glass or glass ceramic element that are adjacently aligned along a separation line and that extend obliquely relative to a surface of the glass or glass ceramic element, and separating a portion from the glass or glass ceramic element along the separation line. The step of producing the filamentary damages includes directing laser pulses of an ultrashort pulse laser obliquely on the surface so that the laser pulses have a light propagation direction that extends obliquely relative to the surface and so that the filamentary damages resulting from the laser pulses have the longitudinal extension that extends obliquely relative to the surface, generating a plasma within the volume with the laser pulses, and displacing the laser pulses at points of incidence over the surface along the separation line.

  • Publication number: 20240073107
    Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided that utilize a machine learning model to predict anomalies for a radio access network site device and taking corrective action. After a radio access network site device has received a software update, key performance indicators are extracted from the data from the radio access network site device. The key performance indicators are utilized with an anomaly risk model to determine if one or more of the key performance indicators exceeds a baseline threshold for the one or more radio access network devices. Responsive to the one or more key performance indicators exceeding a baseline threshold, a corrective action is initiated modifying the one or more radio access network devices.
