  • Publication number: 20250087733
    Abstract: Provided is a method and a system for accelerated life testing (ALT) of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). In the present disclosure, a collected voltage-time sequence data of the PEMFC is filtered and subjected to empirical mode decomposition (EMD), such that a voltage data is decomposed to obtain K intrinsic mode functions. A constructed bidirectional long short-term memory-based artificial neural network (BiLSTM) shows majority input characteristics and can model each of the intrinsic mode functions independently, thereby reducing a difficulty of long-cycle life prediction in limited training data scenarios. In addition, optimal parameters of the BiLSTM are optimized through a sparrow search algorithm, which greatly improves a prediction accuracy of a remaining useful life for the PEMFC. The method and the system of the present disclosure exhibit low computing cost, simple parameter setting, and high prediction accuracy, and are extremely suitable for operation and maintenance of the PEMFC.

  • Patent number: 11971822
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to filtering messages. A computer system may detect an occurrence of an event of a particular type. The computer system may determine whether to enqueue, in a message queue, a message that identifies a set of tasks to be performed in relation to the event. The determination may be based on a response received from a cache that stores a subset of filter rules of a filter rules table. Based on the response indicating a cache miss, the computer system may enqueue the message in the message queue. A process that processes the message may be operable to resolve the cache miss by 1) accessing a filter rule from the filter rules table that indicates whether messages for events of the particular type should be enqueued in the message queue and 2) updating the cache to store the filter rule.
