  • Patent number: 11546217
    Abstract: One aspect of the instant application facilitates detection of configuration anomaly. During operation, a system can convert a set of rules associated with configuration syntax information for a feature in a respective feature document to at least a structured regular expression. Then the system generates a set of configuration templates with a respective configuration template including the structured regular expression corresponding to the feature document. The system can select, based on a target configuration associated with the network device, a subset of the configuration templates and can extract, based on a match between the selected configuration templates and the target configuration, a set of features. The system can determine one or more rules associated with the extracted features. Based on the one or more rules the system can determine an anomaly in the target configuration and generate at least one recommended configuration to alleviate the anomaly.

  • Patent number: 10752730
    Abstract: The present invention provides soluble, stable singlet fission (SF) compounds, compositions, materials, methods of their use, and methods for their preparation that provide efficient intramolecular singlet fission (iSF) and multiple excitons. The SF compound may be a dimer, an oligomer, or a polymer of polyoligoacenes, where for example, the compound achieves a triplet yield reaching about 200% per absorbed photon. In this system, SF does not depend on intermolecular inter-actions. Instead, SF is an intrinsic property of the molecule and therefore occurs independent of intermolecular interactions. Singlet fission has the potential to significantly improve the photocurrent in single junction solar cells and thus raise the Shockley-Queisser power conversion efficiency limit from about 33% to about 46% or greater. Quantitative SF yield at room temperature has only been observed in crystalline solids or aggregates of higher acenes.
