  • Publication number: 20250111201
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a generating graph representations of neural networks to be used as input for one or more metanetworks. Architectural information can be extracted from a neural network and used to generate graph a representation. A subgraph can be generated for each layer of the neural network, where each subgraph includes nodes that correspond to neurons and connecting edges that correspond to weights. Each layer of the neural network can be associated with a bias node that is connected to individual nodes of that layer using edges representing bias weights. Various types of neural networks and layers of neural networks can be represented by such graphs, which are then used as inputs for metanetworks. The subgraphs can be combined into a comprehensive graph representation of the neural network, which can be provided as input to a metanetwork to generate network parameters or perform another such operation.

  • Patent number: 12263522
    Abstract: A smart molten metal pump system and method automatically controls the operating speed of the pump rather than requiring an operator to control the speed. The system includes a pump, a controller for controlling the speed of the pump and one or more vibration sensors (such as an accelerometer) to measure vibration. The controller receives input about the vibration of the pump or one or more pump components, and possibly other data, such as the temperature of the molten metal, and/or the depth of the molten metal, ad/or parameters related to the operation of the pump. The controller analyzes the one or more inputs to vary the speed of the pump, turn the pump off, and/or send a communication to an operator.

  • Patent number: 12253573
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are batteries, battery packs, systems, and methods for calculating and/or determining, and then compensating for, the voltage loss due to interconnect resistance (IR) between cells of a battery pack. A program may calculate and/or determine the cell IR between each of the cells in a battery pack, which is referred to herein as the “calibration value,” and may be determined during the initial battery pack design phase. A program may then multiply the cell IR or “calibration value” by the measured pack current to compensate for the measured cell voltage. The cell IR or “calibration value” may be used during manufacture of the battery pack to compensate for the interconnect resistance (IR) between cells. This compensation for voltage loss due to IR between cells will increase accuracy of the BMS and improve overall battery pack performance, without increasing material costs or size of the battery pack.
