Patent number: 12001766Abstract: A method is used to design nuclear reactors using design variables and metric variables. A user specifies ranges for the design variables and target values for the metric variables. A set of design parameter samples are selected. For each sample, the method runs three processes, which compute metric variables to thermal-hydraulics, neutronics, and stress. The method applies a cost function to each sample to compute an aggregate residual of the metric variables compared to the target values. The method trains a machine learning model using the samples and the computed aggregate residuals. The method shrinks the range for each design variable according to correlation between the respective design variable and estimated residuals using the machine learning model. These steps are repeated until a sample having a smallest residual is unchanged for multiple iterations. The method then uses the final machine learning model to assess relative importance of each design variable.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2021Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: BWXT Advanced Technologies LLCInventor: Ross Evan Pivovar

Patent number: 11468660Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for extracting micro-features at a pixel-level based on characteristics of one or more images. Importantly, the extraction is unsupervised, i.e., performed independent of any training data that defines particularly objects, allowing a behavior-recognition system to forgo a training phase and for object classification to proceed without being constrained by specify object definitions. A micro-feature extractor that does not require training data is adaptive and self-trains while performing the extraction. The extracted micro-features are represented as a micro-feature vector that may be input to a micro-classifier which groups object into object type clusters based on the micro-feature vectors.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Intellective Ai, Inc.Inventors: Wesley Kenneth Cobb, Rajkiran K.
