  • Publication number: 20220138935
    Abstract: A problem of imbalanced big data is solved by decoupling a classifier into a neural network for generation of representation vectors and into a classification model for operating on the representation vectors. The neural network and the classification model act as a mapper classifier. The neural network is trained with an unsupervised algorithm and the classification model is trained with a supervised active learning loop. An acquisition function is used in the supervised active learning loop to speed arrival at an accurate classification performance, improving data efficiency. The accuracy of the hybrid classifier is similar to or exceeds the accuracy of comparative classifiers in all aspects. In some embodiments, big data includes an imbalance of more than 10:1 in image classes. The hybrid classifier reduces labor and improves efficiency needed to arrive at an accurate classification performance, and improves recognition of previously-unrecognized images.

    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a ceramic honeycomb body having a honeycomb structure with a matrix of intersecting walls, and a skin disposed on an outer peripheral portion of the matrix where the skin has a first average porosity and the interior portion of the matrix has a second average porosity that is greater than the first average porosity. The methods include coating at least the skin with a fluid formulation containing a sintering aid and subsequently firing the honeycomb structure. In certain embodiments, a glass layer is formed in the skin or in regions of the walls directly adjacent to the skin. In certain embodiments, the coating is applied to a green honeycomb structure, and in other embodiments the coating is applied to a ceramic honeycomb structure. Other honeycomb bodies and methods are described.

  • Publication number: 20210198153
    Abstract: Methods of firing ceramic-forming honeycomb bodies are disclosed that include heating the honeycomb bodies and blocking furnace gases from flowing through the honeycomb body by placing a layer selected from the group consisting of a graphite layer, a graphite-containing layer, an activated carbon layer, or an amorphous carbon layer adjacent an endface of the honeycomb body.
