Patent number: 11719727Abstract: A computing system obtains test data for a particle source. The test data was generated by the particle source when the particle source was caused to emit particles. The test data comprises a first set of measurements of a first type and a second set of measurements of a second type. The computing system applies a data agnostic predictive model to the test data. The data agnostic predictive model is generated without a parametric analysis of variables of the first type and variables of the second type. The data agnostic predictive model outputs, based upon the test data, a value that is indicative of whether or not the test data is abnormal. Based upon the value, the computing system outputs an indication that the particle source was operating sub-optimally when emitting the particles.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLCInventors: Rosalie A. Multari, Jaideep Ray, Lisa Michelle Miller, Paul Girard Cummings, Jr., Robert Ferrizz, Lisa A. Walla, Nishant Bhupendra Patel, Shawn Martin, Curtis Co
