  • Patent number: 11921697
    Abstract: Disclosed are implementations that include a method for detecting anomalous data, including converting a set of data values representative of a multi-dimensional item into a nodes-and-edges graph representation of the item, applying a graph convolution process to the graph representation to generate a transformed graph representation for the item comprising a resultant transformed configuration of the nodes and edges representing the item, and determining, based on the transformed configuration, a probability that the item is anomalous. Another example method includes receiving input data at a neural network circuit comprising a plurality of node layers, with each of the plurality of node layers comprising respective one or more nodes, with the neural network circuit further comprising adjustable weighted connections connecting at least some nodes in different layers of the plurality of node layers. The method further includes removing one or more of the weighted connections at one or more time instances.

  • Publication number: 20050161082
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to pressure relief devices and to corresponding pressure relief assemblies that have improved vacuum resistance, improved fragmentation resistance, and/or improved burst control while maintaining low mass. The pressure relief device includes a substantially flat flange section and a domed section. The domed section may include a transitional line that defines a change in the shape of the domed section. The pressure relief device may also include a bracket for securing or aligning a domed section to a flange section. The pressure relief device may further include a stress distribution feature that is disposed transversely to a line of weakness in the domed section. The pressure relief assembly may include a fastener having a wire that is configured to break and release the pressure relief device when subject to a predetermined tensile load.
