  • Patent number: 12265762
    Abstract: Described is a system for improving machine operation performance. The system assigns and displays, on an interface having multiple interactive controls, a performance score for each skill of a sequential task in a simulation of operation of a machine. Based on the performance scores, one or more skills to improve with targeted training are identified and displayed on the interface. A training scenario of skills to perform via the interactive controls in a subsequent simulation is recommended to improve the performance scores. Following performance of the training scenario in the subsequent simulation, the system assigns and displays, on the interface, a new performance score for each skill performed. The training scenario is adapted based on the new performance scores.

  • Patent number: 12093614
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for simulating heat transfer in additive manufacturing. Implementations disclosed herein convert a model of an object into a node representation of the object, and generate an adjacency matrix of the object based on the node representation. For each layer of nodes in the node representation, implementations apply a simulated heat to the layer of nodes, and estimating a diffusion of heat to other nodes based on the adjacency matrix. Implementations generate a representation of an estimated heat distribution within the object.

  • Patent number: 12079300
    Abstract: A method for analyzing debris bed formation based on a multi-resolution multiphase particle algorithm, which uses the least-squares moving particle semi-implicit method with second-order computational accuracy and improves surface tension model and free surface particle identification model. The method also utilizes a particle-based gas-liquid phase transition model and a particle-based liquid-solid phase transition model with multi-resolution features, such that the coolant vaporization and melt solidification processes during the falling process of the melt can be calculated. Moreover, a solid-solid collision model is coupled to calculate the collision and debris bed deformation during the falling process of the debris particles. In this way, the momentum exchange, energy transfer and phase transition between different phases are taken into account, and the computational instability caused by the large physical difference between phases is mitigated.

  • Patent number: 12062454
    Abstract: Systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that facilitate artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted curation of non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) data from heterogeneous data sources. In one example, a system can comprise a processor that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise an extraction component and a change detection component. The extraction component can extract candidate non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) events from data associated with a defined disease. The change detection component can evaluate the candidate NPI events for inclusion in a dataset storing NPI events in a defined format.

  • Patent number: 12056584
    Abstract: An online machine learning model such as an autonomous agent predicts an action. A processor associated with, or running, the online machine learning model observes an environment for an interval of time for a real reward associated with the action. Responsive to determining that the real reward is not received within the interval of time, the processor determines based on a criterion whether to allocate an immediate reward received within the interval of time to the online machine learning model, where the immediate reward is an approximation of the real reward. Responsive to determining that the immediate reward is to be allocated, the processor allocates the immediate reward to the online machine learning model. The online machine learning model further learns or retrains itself based on the immediate reward.

  • Patent number: 12052337
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for syntonizing machines in a network. A coordinator accesses probe records for probes transmitted at different times between pairs of machines in the mesh network. For different pairs of machines, the coordinator estimates the drift between the pair of machines based on the transit times of probes transmitted between the pair of machines as indicated by the probe records. For different loops of at least three machines in the mesh network, the coordinator calculates a loop drift error based on a sum of the estimated drifts between pairs of machines around the loop and adjusts the estimated absolute drifts of the machines based on the loop drift errors. Here, the absolute drift is defined relative to a drift of a reference machine.
