  • Patent number: 11494787
    Abstract: There is a need for more effective and efficient anomaly detection. This need can be addressed by, for example, solutions for performing/executing graph convolutional anomaly detection. In one example, a method includes identifying related graph database input data associated with a predictive entity; generating related graph feature data for the predictive entity; generating, based on the related graph feature data and using a graph convolutional neural network model, an anomaly detection score for the predictive entity, wherein at least a portion of the graph convolutional neural network model is trained using confirmation feedback data; performing an anomaly confirmation to generate the confirmation feedback data object for the predictive entity, and integrating the confirmation feedback data object for the predictive entity into the confirmation feedback data associated with the graph convolutional anomaly detection.

  • Patent number: 11338363
    Abstract: At a print temperature, a layer (having a predetermined height) of metal build material particles is formed. Also at the print temperature, a fluid containing metal nanoparticles is selectively applied to at least a portion of the layer, and at a fluid loading that wets the portion through the predetermined height without saturating the portion. The metal nanoparticles are exposed to a sintering temperature that is higher than the print temperature and at least 500° below a melting point of the metal build material particles using a predetermined number of heating events taking place at a predetermined speed or for a predetermined time, and separated by a predetermined delay time, to bind the metal build material particles together to form a bound layer. A build material surface is cooled to or below the print temperature. The forming, selectively applying, exposing, and cooling are repeated to form a part precursor.

  • Publication number: 20220145937
    Abstract: A bearing cover assembly can be assembled to a bearing housing in which a rolling element bearing is accommodated. The bearing housing assembly includes an annular adapter and an end cap that can be mated together. The annular adapter can have a tapered inner annular surface and can be inserted into the housing bore of the bearing housing. The end cap can have a corresponding outer tapered surface. When the end cap is inserted into the adapter hole defined by the annular adapter, the sliding contact between the tapered inner annular surface and the outer surface radially expands the annular adapter inside the housing bore creating a positive engagement retaining the bearing cover assembly to the bearing housing.

  • Publication number: 20220118694
    Abstract: In an example method for forming three-dimensional (3D) printed electronic parts, a build material is applied. An electronic agent is selectively applied in a plurality of passes on a portion of the build material. A fusing agent is also selectively applied on the portion of the build material. The build material is exposed to radiation in a plurality of heating events. During at least one of the plurality of heating events, the portion of the build material in contact with the fusing agent fuses to form a region of a layer. The region of the layer exhibits an electronic property. An order of the plurality of passes, the selective application of the fusing agent, and the plurality of heating events is controlled to control a mechanical property of the layer and the electronic property of the region.
