  • Patent number: 11566974
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for analyzing vibration data to determine and mitigate an occurrence of an anomaly at an industrial asset. A device may obtain and preprocess vibration data, which may include grouping the vibration data according to respective time intervals, and the device may filter the grouped data to obtain the most recent measurement readings. The device may use an anomaly detection algorithm to detect outliers in the datasets for each group of vibration data and compare an amplitude of the outliers to a threshold for the respective group. The device may determine that the vibration data includes an anomaly based on quantities of outliers in first and second subsets of the vibration data that are within a detection window. The device may generate a report including an indication of the anomaly and transmit the report to an operator or engineer for the facility.

  • Patent number: 11522638
    Abstract: Upon receiving a corrupted message in 5G or 6G, a receiver generally rejects the message or ignores it entirely, because determining which message elements are faulted is difficult and complex. AI-based procedures are provided for localizing faults in specific message elements, and for determining the corrected values when possible. AI inputs may include the amplitude or phase modulation quality of each message element, the measured SNR of each message element, the modulation quality of a preceding demodulation reference, and current backgrounds, among other factors. After training (adjusting according to measured network data), the AI model may then determine the most likely faulted message elements, and may also direct the search for the most likely corrected values. By recovering the original corrected message without an unnecessary retransmission, the system can save time, reduce transmission energy, and avoid generating backgrounds. Many additional aspects are disclosed.

    Abstract: Artificial intelligence procedures are disclosed for localizing faults in corrupted messages in 5G and 6G, and for correcting those faults based on measured parameters such as backgrounds and message signals. Message faults can be caused by noise or interference from a variety of sources with a wide range of properties. An AI model with multiple adjustable variables may be “trained” using a large number of message events, including faulted messages, to determine which message elements are likely faulted, based on input parameters such as modulation quality, SNR, and other signal properties. The receiving entity can then attempt a grid search to correct the faulted message elements, or request a retransmission. For field use by base stations and user devices, an algorithm may be developed based on the AI model, and configured to predict which message elements are likely faulted.

  • Patent number: 11223668
    Abstract: A method and detector for detecting anomalies among media event sequences are disclosed. One method includes obtaining a first profile of media event data over a first time period, where the first profile is a first distribution of different media event sequences. Each sequence is associated with a number of occurrences of the sequence and the first profile having a first profile vector. The method further includes obtaining a second profile of media event data over a second time period less than the first time period. The second profile is a second distribution of the different media sequences and the second profile having a second profile vector. The method also includes comparing the first profile vector and the second profile vector, and determining one of a presence and absence of at least one anomaly in the second profile vector of media event data based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11210150
    Abstract: An infrastructure backup system includes an infrastructure manager system coupled to infrastructure devices via a network. A first infrastructure device includes a management controller database storing component dependency information identifying dependenc(ies) between a first component in the first infrastructure device and a second component in a second infrastructure device. A management controller device in the first infrastructure device receives a predicted failure for the first component from the infrastructure manager system and performs first backup operations to generate first component backup data based on the identification of the predicted failure for the first component. Based on the component dependency information that identifies the dependency between the first component and the second component, the management controller device also performs second backup operations to generate second component backup data.

  • Patent number: 11200142
    Abstract: A machine learning module is trained by receiving inputs comprising attributes of a computing environment, where the attributes affect a likelihood of failure in the computing environment. In response to an event occurring in the computing environment, a risk score that indicates a predicted likelihood of failure in the computing environment is generated via forward propagation through a plurality of layers of the machine learning module. A margin of error is calculated based on comparing the generated risk score to an expected risk score, where the expected risk score indicates an expected likelihood of failure in the computing environment corresponding to the event. An adjustment is made of weights of links that interconnect nodes of the plurality of layers via back propagation to reduce the margin of error, to improve the predicted likelihood of failure in the computing environment.

  • Patent number: 11196614
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an issue analysis service determines that an issue exists with a device in a network. The service searches a decision tree for a solution to the issue, wherein branch nodes of the decision tree comprise diagnostic checks. The service clusters, based on a determination that a solution to the issue does not exist in the decision tree, telemetry for the device with telemetry for one or more other devices that also experienced the issue. The service uses a neural network to identify a difference between the clustered telemetry and telemetry from one or more devices for which the issue was resolved. The service adds a leaf node to the decision tree with the identified difference as a solution to the issue.

  • Patent number: 11182239
    Abstract: A method including receiving events from different data sources for a service automatically executing in an enterprise system. A first event is enriched by providing the first event with first metadata that associates the first event with a first application used by the service. The first event is assigned to a time slice associated with the first application. A second event is enriched in a similar manner. A correlation graph of nodes and edges is built using the enriched events, with nodes representing the events and edges indicating relationships between the edges. A third event indicating a fault in the first application associated with the first node is received. The source of the error for the third event is identified using the second updated correlation graph and the time slice. The source of error is then mitigated.
