    Abstract: Methods and systems for allocating network resources responsive to network traffic include modeling spatial correlations between fine spatial granularity traffic and coarse spatial granularity traffic for different sites and regions to determine spatial feature vectors for one or more sites in a network. Temporal correlations at a fine spatial granularity are modeled across multiple temporal scales, based on the spatial feature vectors. Temporal correlations at a coarse spatial granularity are modeled across multiple temporal scales, based on the spatial feature vectors. A traffic flow prediction is determined for the one or more sites in the network, based on the temporal correlations at the fine spatial granularity and the temporal correlations at the coarse spatial granularity. Network resources are provisioned at the one or more sites in accordance with the traffic flow prediction.

  • Publication number: 20230118938
    Abstract: A breath detecting system and breath detecting mat thereof are disclosed. The breath detecting mat is placed under bed mattress and has a hollow board, a vibration sensor and a signal processing circuit. The vibration sensor and the signal processing circuit are mounted in the hollow board. The vibration sensor senses the micro-vibrations caused by the breathing of the person is lying on the bed mattress and outputs the breath sensing signal to the signal processing circuit. The signal processing circuit samples the sensing signal according to different moving average points to generate the fast-moving and slow-moving average signals. Since the first fast-moving and slow-moving average signals have many cross points, the signal processing circuit calculates each time difference between every two adjacent cross points. A present breath frequency is calculated according to the time differences. Therefore, the noises of the sensing signal are effectively removed.

The temporal factors and the invariant factor are combined into a combined temporal-invariant representation. It is determined that an unlabeled node is anomalous, based on the combined temporal-invariant representation. A security action is performed responsive to the determination that unlabeled node is anomalous.
