  • Patent number: 12189589
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improving anomaly detection in timeseries datasets. Different machine learning models may be trained to process specific types of timeseries data efficiently and accurately. Thus, selecting a proper machine learning model for identifying anomalies in a specific set of timeseries data may greatly improve accuracy and efficiency of anomaly detection. Another way to improve anomaly detection is to process a multitude of timeseries datasets for a time period (e.g., 90 days) to detect anomalies from those timeseries datasets and then correlate those detected anomalies by generating an anomaly timeseries dataset and identifying anomalies within the anomaly timeseries dataset. Yet another way to improve anomaly detection is to divide a dataset into multiple datasets based on a type of anomaly detection requested.

  • Patent number: 11762956
    Abstract: Embodiments match sensor data output by a sensor to a trained pattern. Embodiments form a plurality of windows of an identified pattern from the sensor data, each of the plurality of windows having a substantially equal window length to a length of the trained pattern. For each of the windows, embodiments generate a corresponding first Symbolic Aggregate approximation (“SAX”) word, determine a Hamming distance between the first SAX word and a second SAX word corresponding to the trained pattern, and determine a final distance score based on coefficients between the first SAX word and the second SAX word. For each of the windows, embodiments determine a number of positions in the first SAX word that do not contribute to the final distance score, update the Hamming distance after eliminating the number of positions and determine an average distance based on the final distance score and the updated Hamming distance.

  • Patent number: 11747740
    Abstract: A system and methods for OCD metrology are provided including receiving multiple first sets of scatterometric data, dividing each set into k sub-vectors, and training, in a self-supervised manner, k2 auto-encoder neural networks that map each of the k sub-vectors to each other. Subsequently multiple respective sets of reference parameters and multiple corresponding second sets of scatterometric data are received and a transfer neural network (NN) is trained. Initial layers include a parallel arrangement of the k2 encoder neural networks. Target output of the transfer NN training is set to the multiple sets of reference parameters and feature input is set to the multiple corresponding second sets of scatterometric data, such that the transfer NN is trained to estimate new wafer pattern parameters from subsequently measured sets of scatterometric data.

  • Patent number: 11734627
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and related systems for precision crop modeling and management using the same. Precision crop modeling and management can be incorporated into various methods for growing plants such as crop plants and various methods for managing the growth of such plants in a particular field. The methods generally utilize in-season information relating to weather conditions actually experienced by the field to prepare mid-season, updated crop management plans. A crop management plan is determined using a crop model incorporating a variety of inputs and plant-specific material and energy balances to specify one or more grower-controlled management parameters. An updated plan for a given field can be followed by a grower to increase crop yield and/or optimize one or more other crop or field parameters.

  • Patent number: 11699526
    Abstract: An alarm notification system can enable a clinician to respond to an alarm notification received via a computing device, which may have more advanced functionality than a pager. The clinician's device can include a notification client which can respond to alarm notifications. The notification client can also provide one or more user interfaces that enable the clinician to view information about an alarm, such as information about a patient's status, physiological parameter values, trend data, audio/video of the patient, combinations of the same, or the like. Further, the notification client can provide functionality for a clinician to respond to an alarm, annotate an alarm, and/or indicate that the clinician can or cannot respond to the alarm, among other features. In addition, the clinician device can also (or instead) include an admit module that provides for automatic association of a patient to a device or location.

  • Patent number: 11622231
    Abstract: Systems and methods to track the respective locations of subjects over time. The system identifies subjects who, overtime, were co-located with one another suggesting they are associated with one another, and the pairs are analyzed. For each of the subjects, the system produces a vector that quantifies the subject's location history by including a respective weight for each combination of a time interval with a geographical area. The vectors are compared using a distance metric, and any pair of subjects whose vectors are sufficiently close are flagged as being an associated pair. The respective vector belonging to each subject is normalized to account for the total number of other subjects who were co-located with the subject. For each interval-area pair, the system may compute the frequency of the interval-area pair, and then divide each weight that corresponds to the interval-area pair by the frequency of the interval-area pair.

  • Patent number: RE49877
    Abstract: It is provided a method of matching pairs of persons. The method includes receiving from the persons personal opinions on other persons, and based on a collaborative filtering algorithm, calculating from the personal opinions a first estimated opinion of a first person on a second person and a second estimated opinion of the second person on the first person. The method also includes matching the two persons in accordance with the estimated opinions and connecting them for a predetermined time duration. The first estimated opinions may be the estimated probability that the first person wants to be matched to the second person. The matching of the two persons is done in accordance with the product of the probabilities. Matching order is determined by a difference between a highest and a second highest product of a person in two different pairs.
