Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that detects sensor anomalies in a univariate time-series signal. During a surveillance mode, the system receives the univariate time-series signal from a sensor in a monitored system. Next, the system performs a staggered-sampling operation on the univariate time-series signal to produce N sub-sampled time-series signals, wherein the staggered-sampling operation allocates consecutive samples from the univariate time-series signal to the N sub-sampled time-series signals in a round-robin ordering. The system then uses a trained inferential model to generate estimated values for the N sub-sampled time-series signals based on cross-correlations with other sub-sampled time-series signals. Next, the system performs an anomaly detection operation to detect incipient sensor anomalies in the univariate time-series signal based on differences between actual values and the estimated values for the N sub-sampled time-series signals.

Abstract: Embodiments identify a station that rotates an over the air station address. As address rotation was not originally designed into wireless networks, the rotation can introduce communication challenges for the station. The embodiments derive that traffic referencing two different over the air station addresses are associated with a single common station. This is accomplished by determining a similarity between properties of two sets of traffic. A first set of traffic references the first over the air station address and a second set of traffic references the second over the air station address. If the properties common across the two sets of traffic indicate sufficient similarity, the embodiments determine that both sets of traffic are associated with a single device. Network configuration of the device is then adjusted based on the determination.

Abstract: In conventional networked computing systems, stream-processing software is utilized to handle real-time data feeds. For example, a stream-processing software may sort incoming data feeds into data logs, which are then consumed by various application servers within the computing system. However, this consumption process is susceptible to failure as application servers often fail to consume a full payload of data comprising a particular message. As such, a need exists for a streaming architecture with improved fault tolerance. The system provided herein solves the problem via a reliable streaming process, which regularly generates partitions within a series of data lakes. As streaming data is received, the payloads are synced into the different data lakes based on metadata associated with the streaming data. The system can then perform individual quality checks on each partition of data, enabling the system to continuously monitor data quality over time.
