  • Publication number: 20240104394
    Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that automatically produce production-ready machine learning models and deployment pipelines from minimal input information such as a raw training dataset. In particular, one example computing system can import a training dataset associated with a user. The computing system can execute an origination machine learning pipeline to perform a model architecture search that selects and trains a machine learning model for the training dataset. Execution of the origination machine learning pipeline can also result in generation of a deployment machine learning pipeline configured to enable deployment of the machine learning model (e.g., running the machine learning model to produce inferences and/or optionally other tasks such as re-training and/or re-tuning the model).

  • Patent number: 11941119
    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to allow for the mitigation of ransomware. For example, the system can determine that an application begins to execute, determine that the application attempts to modify a file, determine a file type for the file, and create a security event if the application is not authorized to modify the file type. In another example, the system determines an entropy value between the file and the attempted modification of the file, and create a security event if the entropy value satisfies a threshold or determine a system entropy value that includes a rate at which other files on the system are being modified by the application, and create a security event if the system entropy value satisfies a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230179060
    Abstract: A cooling jacket for an electric motor comprises a fluid passage disposed adjacent to a stator and configured to convey a cooling fluid. The cooling jacket includes a flow mixing enhancer within the fluid passage adjacent an axial end of the stator. The flow mixing enhancer includes baffles, a porous fibrous structure, and/or an open-cell foam to provide greater thermal conductance at a region adjacent to the axial ends than it provides to a central region therebetween. A flow bridge directs the cooling fluid through circumferential flow paths adjacent to both of the axial ends before the cooling fluid is circulated in a central flow path around the central region of the stator. One or more nozzles direct a jet of cooling fluid upon the stator end winding, a rotor end winding, and/or printed circuit board. A ring-shaped coolant header may supply the cooling fluid to the nozzles.
