  • Publication number: 20240111643
    Abstract: An approach for managing and minimized failure of one or more devices in a computerized cluster and/or vehicle infrastructure is disclosed. The proactive approach for mitigating such black swan events as it relate to hardware failures (e.g., servers, network, vehicle systems/architecture, etc.). The approach would proactively inactivate “suspect” components (i.e., components that are completely functional in multiple systems) based on component vintage data from systems where components have failed or malfunctioned. A dedicated service is actively updating suspect components and their respective vintages spread across various systems. Furthermore, the approach backups components using different vintages are effectively utilized to avoid complete system failure.

  • Publication number: 20230044197
    Abstract: An approach for determining an infrastructure service interruption is disclosed. The approach relies on utilizing UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) to map electronic signals (e.g., Wi-Fi, etc.) that emanates from building structures (e.g., residential, commercial, etc.). Electronic signals having a certain frequency or multiple frequencies may be used. Essentially, the approach can detect power/signal loss by comparing differences in Wi-Fi signal maps pre and post event (e.g., severe thunderstorm, etc.). The 24/7 event monitoring is carried out by using UAVs and the UAVs can operate on a regular or event driven schedule vs. continuously operating multiple fixed data collection units.
