  • Patent number: 11922326
    Abstract: Approaches are described for generating suggestions for new nodes or new relationships in a knowledge graph based on content of data assets represented by existing nodes in the knowledge graph. The knowledge graph is defined by nodes connected by edges. A method includes determining that a data asset represented by a root node of a knowledge graph has been changed, where the changed data asset is represented by a version node connected to the root node. The changed data asset is processed, including: identifying one or more candidate terms in the changed data asset, and comparing each candidate term with each of one or more existing terms from data assets of the knowledge graph other than the changed data asset to obtain (i) one or more of the candidate terms that do not correspond to any existing term or (ii) one or more candidate terms that each corresponds to a respective existing term that is not related to the version node representing the changed data asset.

  • Patent number: 8513618
    Abstract: A method for discriminating a radioactive anomaly from naturally occurring radioactive materials includes detecting a first number of gamma photons having energies in a first range of energy values within a predetermined period of time and detecting a second number of gamma photons having energies in a second range of energy values within the predetermined period of time. The method further includes determining, in a controller, a ratio of the first number of gamma photons having energies in the first range and the second number of gamma photons having energies in the second range, and determining that a radioactive anomaly is present when the ratio exceeds a threshold value.

  • Patent number: 4344911
    Abstract: Apparatus for protecting the inner wall of a fusion chamber from microexplosion debris, x-rays, neutrons, etc. produced by deuterium-tritium (DT) targets imploded within the fusion chamber. The apparatus utilizes a fluidized wall similar to a waterfall comprising liquid lithium or solid pellets of lithium-ceramic, the waterfall forming a blanket to prevent damage of the structural materials of the chamber.
