  • Patent number: 12328604
    Abstract: A device may receive real mobile radio data identifying measurements of radio transmissions of base stations and user devices of a mobile radio environment in a geographical area, and may receive network topology data associated with the geographical area. The device may utilize, based on the network topology data, a machine learning feature extraction approach to generate a representation of invariant aspects of spatiotemporal predictable components of the real mobile radio data, and may generate, based on the representation of invariant aspects, stochastic data that includes a probability that a radio signal will be obstructed. The device may utilize the stochastic data to identify a realistic discoverable spatiotemporal signature, and may train or evaluate a system to manage performance of a mobile radio network based on the realistic discoverable spatiotemporal signature.

  • Patent number: 12312935
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques for monitoring for monitoring and evaluating conditions associated with a wellbore and wellbore operations that use neural operators instead of computationally intensive iterative differential equations. Such systems and techniques allow for determinations to be made as operations associated with a wellbore are performed. Instead of having to wait for computationally intensive tasks to be performed or take risks of proceeding with a wellbore operation without real-time evaluations being performed, these wellbore operations may be continued while determinations are timely made, thus improving operation of computing systems that perform evaluations and that make decisions regarding safely and efficiently performing wellbore operations such as drilling a wellbore, cementing wellbore casings in place, or injecting fluids into formations of the Earth.
