The computer system identifies spots in the power grid with excessive voltage drops. These will be referred to as hot spots. The power grid is augmented by adding local conductors at the hot spots. These local conductors provide additional electrical paths through the power grid at the hot spots. This in turn reduces the voltage drops at the hot spots.

  • Patent number: 10810501
    Abstract: Data captured during evolutions performed by aerial vehicles prior to one or more missions, and data regarding outcomes of the missions, may be used to train a machine learning system to predict data regarding an outcome of a mission of an aerial vehicle based on the performance of the aerial vehicle during one or more evolutions. The data may be captured by sensors provided aboard an aerial vehicle, or in association with a testing facility, and may include data captured during both pre-flight and/or in-flight evolutions performed by the aerial vehicle. The evolutions may include any pre-flight operation of motors, propellers and/or control surfaces, or any other components, as well as the in-flight operation of such components. If a machine learning system determines that a mission is unlikely to succeed, the mission may be canceled, delayed until further inspections may be performed, or assigned to another aerial vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10776100
    Abstract: Techniques for predicting the downtime of a software system due to an upgrade of the system are provided. In one set of embodiments, a computer system can receive training data comprising (1) measured downtimes, (2) upgrade object information, (3) upgrade configuration information, and (4) system hardware information for past upgrades of the software system across different operating environments. Using this training data, the computer system can train a machine learning (ML) model to predict (1) based on (2), (3), and (4). The computer system can then receive a query comprising upgrade object information for a future upgrade U, upgrade configuration information for upgrade U, and system hardware information for an operating environment E. Based on these inputs, the computer system can use the ML model to generate a downtime value indicating the predicted downtime that will be experienced by the software system when upgrade U is applied to the system in operating environment E.

  • Patent number: 10732634
    Abstract: An event queue is maintained to store IO events generated from a number of sensors and timer events generated for a number of autonomous driving modules. For each of the events pending in the event queue, in response to determining that the event is an IO event, the data associated with the IO event is stored in a data structure associated with the sensor in a global store. In response to determining that the event is a timer event, a worker thread associated with the timer event is launched. The worker thread executes one of the autonomous driving modules triggered or initiated the timer event. Input data is retrieved from the global store and provided to the worker thread to allow the worker thread to process the input data.
