  • Patent number: 11824354
    Abstract: A computer system provides online state estimation (SE) and topology identification (TI) using advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) measurements in a distribution network. The computer system obtains input data including the AMI measurements, a network configuration, and line parameters; solves an SE and TI problem formulated from the input data and power equations of the distribution network; and periodically updates states and topology of the distribution network during power system operation. To solve the SE and TI problem, the computer system constructs a mixed-integer convex approximation programming (MICP) model to obtain an initial topology; generates neighboring spanning trees according to the MICP model and the initial topology; evaluates performance of each neighboring spanning tree with a matching index that is an indication of power flow performance; and chooses a tree topology of a neighboring spanning tree having a minimum matching index as a final network topology of the distribution network.

  • Patent number: 11763053
    Abstract: The independent claims of this patent signify a concise description of embodiments. An emulation control block enables a user to view an entire design in the same phase so that the used can observe and control a halted design in the same logical reference cycle. Both the clock cone and design flops are provided in the state which occurs after the evaluation of cycle K of the reference time. During cycle K+1 of an emulation, the values of derived clocks for cycle K+1 are computed. Moreover, during cycle K+1 of the emulation, the values of the sequential elements are computed based cycle K values of the clocks. When the emulation is halted due to a break, the clock cone is reverted to its previous state. This Abstract is not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

    Abstract: A method of detecting abnormality may include the following steps. A normal-value range of a parameter for a target object is determined based on historical values of the parameter in a preset time period or at a preset time point. Whether the target object is abnormal is determined based on the normal-value range and the value of the parameter for the target object in the preset time period or at the preset time point within a current time cycle. Further, another normal-value range may be determined based on historical deviation values for the target object in historical time periods or at historical time points before the preset time period or the preset time point. Whether the target object is abnormal is determined based on either of the two normal-value ranges.

    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, an escape hole generator creates escapes holes designed to facilitate removal of support and/or unprinted material generated inside enclosed hollows of three-dimensional (3D) digital models during 3D printing. In operation, the escape hole generator identifies a hollow included in the three-dimensional model and then selects optimized locations for escape holes. Notably, the escape hole generator selects the locations to optimize placement heuristics, such as favoring locations closer to the bottom of the 3D model, while satisfying escape hole constraints (e.g., hole size and spacing requirements). The escape hole generator then perforates the hollow at the selected locations with geometries that provide channels from the outer surface of the hollow to the outer surface of the hollow.

  • Patent number: 11461513
    Abstract: In disclosed techniques, simulations are performed to determine data center performance under certain conditions. The simulations are dynamic and allow for changes in power demand due to temporal data center activities. In order to accommodate predicted and unpredicted fluctuations in power demand of a data center, one or more power caches are configured to supply additional power during periods of peak demand. Power caches provide supplemental power during periods of peak demand. The simulations are used for a variety of purposes, including determining the effects of power caches going offline under various conditions. Disclosed techniques can simulate the cycling of a power cache and can determine if additional configuration changes to the data center are warranted to maintain optimal health of the power caches. Thus, power scenario simulation of a data center can provide information vital to efficient operation of the data center.

  • Patent number: 11451973
    Abstract: Introduced here is a system and method to simulate operation of a 5G wireless telecommunication network, prior to deploying a component of the network, to detect problems before the problems affect a large number of users. The system can provide a graphical user interface enabling a user to define a test including a test request and a criterion that a response to the test request needs to satisfy. The processor can create a virtual instance of the network including a virtual instance of a 5G NR node and a virtual instance of a second node. While the physical 5G wireless telecommunication network and the nodes include hardware and software, the virtual instances of the network and the nodes are software constructs simulating the behavior of the physical counterparts. Once the changes are released, the system can also be a monitoring tool to monitor performance of the network.

  • Patent number: 11442842
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to the use of execution traces to process queries against objects over their lifetime. Embodiments identify, from a trace, a memory-backed object that existed during a prior execution of an entity. A handle for logically representing memory covered by the object over the object's lifetime is identified. A plurality of associations that are represented by the handle are identified. These associations identify memory addresses that were covered by the object over its lifetime. Each association represents at least (i) a memory address that was covered by the object during its lifetime, and (ii) an execution time during the object's lifetime at which the memory address was covered by the object. A query is processed against the handle. The query includes a query based on an execution time, and processing the query includes comparing the execution time in the query to execution time(s) represented in the associations.

  • Patent number: 11403208
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes generating a virtualized stub service based on deep learning for use in simulating a service during testing of a software module configured to interact with the service. Request-response pairs between the software module and the service are captured by an interceptor module, each request-response pair including a request and a response to the request. The captured request-response pairs are added to a training data set. A service virtualization engine trains a request categorization model based on the training data set, wherein the request categorization model is trained to respond to requests with responses based on the request-response pairs of the training data set. Then, a virtualized stub service is generated for the service based on the trained request categorization model. The disclosure provides for automatic generation of virtualized stub services using deep learning techniques for use in testing software modules.
