  • Publication number: 20250211227
    Abstract: High voltage micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) switches are described. A MEMS teeter-totter switch can include a beam coupled to an anchor on a substrate and two control electrodes, disposed on a surface of the substrate. A control circuit may include an optical isolator that provides an isolated activation voltage to a voltage supply and control circuit. The voltage supply and control circuit uses the isolated activation voltage to supply a control voltage to one of the control electrodes with respect to a first reference voltage, causing the beam to provide an input voltage received from an input terminal to a contact electrode of the MEMS teeter-totter switch electrically connected to an output terminal. The input voltage is applied on the beam with respect to a second reference voltage different from the first reference voltage.

  • Publication number: 20250200528
    Abstract: The system obtains a first representation of a troubleshooting guide associated with a first issue experienced by a first device. The first representation includes a first plurality of nodes and a first plurality of edges. A node indicates a troubleshooting procedure, and an edge indicates a result of the troubleshooting procedure, such as a testing step or repair step. The system determines a subset of the first plurality of edges indicating the repair step and converts the subset of the first plurality of edges into multiple repair nodes to obtain a second representation. A repair node indicates the repair step resolving the first issue. The second representation includes the first plurality of nodes and the multiple repair nodes. Based on the second representation, the system trains an artificial intelligence to provide a most likely repair step to resolve a second issue without requiring performance of the testing step.

  • Publication number: 20250190291
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable anomaly detection based on data lineage by using at least one processor to receive initial lineage records that record initial changes in data items at each data processor of a lineage stream. The processor(s) generates a historical distribution as a data processor baseline for a particular data processor based on each change in each data item at the particular data processor. For lineage records in a subsequent time period, the processor(s) identifies subsequent changes in data items at the particular data processor and generates a real-time dynamic distribution to represent a current data processor behavior for the particular data processor based on each change for the subsequent lineage records. The processor(s) determines a deviation between the data processor baseline and the current data processor behavior based on the historical distribution and the real-time dynamic distribution to identify a data processor anomaly.

  • Publication number: 20250167577
    Abstract: Electric vehicle charging scheduling includes receiving repeated sensor readings of a battery of an electric vehicle, the readings monitoring a charge of the battery while the electric vehicle proceeds along a contemporaneously scheduled route. Then, a geolocation of the electric vehicle is determined and a database queried with the geolocation. A charging station is then identified within geographic proximity of the geolocation of the electric vehicle. As well, a waypoint scheduled for the electric vehicle after the contemporaneously scheduled route is determined. Thereafter, a threshold charge is computed that is requisite to complete both the contemporaneously scheduled route and also to the waypoint. Finally, in response to a determination that the monitored charge on the battery is below the threshold level, an alert is displayed indicating to charge the battery at the identified charging station.
