    Researchers from National Institute of Technology Describe Findings in Brain-Based Devices (Novel Design of a Low Power Neural Amplifier Using Split Push Pull Balanced High Swing Ota for Brain Machine Interface)

    103-104页
    查看更多>>摘要：A new study on Brain-Based Devices is now available. According to news reporting originating from Assam, India, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “This work presents the design of a modified split push-pull balanced (SPPB) operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) for the analog frontend (AFE) of Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) applications. The proposed OTA architecture enables the development of a low-power amplifier with a wide bandwidth and high output swing.” Financial support for this research came from Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Silchar. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the National Institute of Technology, “Comprehensive post-layout simulations and analyses were conducted in Cadence Virtuoso with reference to the technology library UMC 180 nm and very less deviation is observed between post and pre layout simulation. The simulated results show that the highest gain is 51.66 dB, the average power consumption is 1.69 mu W, the phase margin is 60.25 degrees, and the noise level is 918nV/sqrt (Hz) at 1 Hz. Moreover, in this paper using the proposed OTA neural amplifier with capacitive feedback topology is designed which exhibits a maximum mid-band gain of 51.06 dB and a bandwidth ranging from 378.481 mHz to 619.17 Hz. The neural amplifier also found to have acceptable Noise efficiency factor (NEF) which is 2.3.”

    Research from Australian Bureau of Meteorology Has Provided New Data on Machine Learning (Radar and environment-based hail damage estimates using machine learning)

    104-105页
    查看更多>>摘要：Current study results on artificial intelligence have been published. According to news originating from Victoria, Australia, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Large hail events are typically infrequent, with significant time gaps between occurrences at specific locations. However, when these events do happen, they can cause rapid and substantial economic losses within a matter of minutes.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Australian Bureau of Meteorology: “Therefore, it is crucial to have the ability to accurately observe and understand hail phenomena to improve the mitigation of this impact. While in situ observations are accurate, they are limited in number for an individual storm. Weather radars, on the other hand, provide a larger observation footprint, but current radar-derived hail size estimates exhibit low accuracy due to horizontal advection of hailstones as they fall, the variability of hail size distributions (HSDs), complex scattering and attenuation, and mixed hydrometeor types. In this paper, we propose a new radar-derived hail product developed using a large dataset of hail damage insurance claims and radar observations. We use these datasets coupled with environmental information to calculate a hail damage estimate (HDE) using a deep neural network approach aiming to quantify hail impact, with a critical success index of 0.88 and a coefficient of determination against observed damage of 0.79. Furthermore, we compared HDE to a popular hail size product (MESH), allowing us to identify meteorological conditions that are associated with biases on MESH.”

(Canton, Michigan, United States). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Removal of wheels from vehicle wheel hubs and placing old tires with new tires onto the removed wheels is a manual and time-intensive process. Often a vehicle is jacked up or lifted by a manually operated hydraulic lift or vehicle jack. Lug nuts are then manually removed via a torque wrench or tire iron. Once the lug nuts are removed, the wheel and tire are then physically handled and removed from a wheel-hub. Such manual operations may lead to inefficient operations, and potential physical hazards to a person removing the wheel and tire from the vehicle.”

    Patent Issued for Supervised machine learning for distinguishing between risky and legitimate actions in transactions (USPTO 11875353)

    108-110页
    查看更多>>摘要：A patent by the inventors Abadi, Shiran (Tel-Aviv, IL), Haizler, Tamar Miriam (KfarSaba, IL), filed on September 29, 2021, was published online on January 16, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx correspondents. Patent number 11875353 is assigned to NCR Voyix Corporation (Atlanta, Georgia, United States). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Current loss prevention solutions treat every abnormal action in a transaction with the same severity, even if the abnormal action was merely to correct a known error associated with the transaction. “Existing solutions for cashier fraud do not distinguish well between human errors or required actions and fraudulent activities when analyzing actions that might indicated risks within a transaction. The solutions rely on simplistic rules to decide whether the actions taken during a transaction are legitimate. Such actions include, among others, voiding an item, overriding a price of an item, or returning an item. In order to give rules a more useful and tangible meaning, existing solutions often elevate a risk score with the increase in a counter value or an amount when abnormal actions are detected in a transaction.

    查看更多>>摘要：According to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inventors CHENG, Lin Ni Lisa (New York, NY, US); HUGHES, Sara Margaret (McLean, VA, US); SHANKER, Purva (Arlington, VA, US); TRAGER, Allison (Demarest, NJ, US), filed on July 13, 2022, was made available online on January 18, 2024. The assignee for this patent application is Capital One Services LLC (McLean, Virginia, United States). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence, including, but not limited to, machine learning, deep learning, etc. (referred to collectively herein as artificial intelligence models, machine learning models, or simply models) has exponentially increased. Broadly described, artificial intelligence refers to a wide-ranging branch of computer science concerned with building smart machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. Key benefits of artificial intelligence are its ability to process data, find underlying patterns, and/or perform real-time determinations. However, despite these benefits and despite the wide-ranging number of potential applications, practical implementations of artificial intelligence have been hindered by several technical problems. First, artificial intelligence often relies on large amounts of high-quality data. The process for obtaining this data and ensuring it is high-quality is often complex and time-consuming. Second, despite the mainstream popularity of artificial intelligence, practical implementations of artificial intelligence require specialized knowledge to design, program, and integrate artificial intelligence-based solutions, which limits the amount of people and resources available to create these practical implementations. Finally, results based on artificial intelligence are notoriously difficult to review as the process by which the results are made may be unknown or obscured. This obscurity creates hurdles for identifying errors in the results, as well as improving the models providing the results. These technical problems present an inherent problem with attempting to use an artificial intelligence-based solution to generate customized user interfaces for users.”

    查看更多>>摘要：According to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inventors Barbaro’, Giuseppe (Redwood City, CA, US); Haghighi, Mehdi Maasoumy (Redwood City, CA, US); Kolter, Jeremy (Redwood City, CA, US); Ohlsson, Henrik (Palo Alto, CA, US); Sandilya, Umashankar (Palo Alto, CA, US), filed on September 22, 2023, was made available online on January 18, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Networks are commonplace systems of interconnected devices or components. The operation and control of networked systems can be quite complex under even ideal circumstances because network functions may require the performance of certain tasks synchronously, sequentially, or in more complex patterns. An example of a complex networked system is an electrical distribution network. Control and maintenance of an electrical grid is an especially complex problem given ever changing supply and demand levels. The current proliferation of renewable energy sources and large-scale battery systems poses a unique opportunity and challenge for the control of electrical distribution networks because they may offer greater resiliency to the networks, but they also tend to have intermittency in their power output. When unplanned events, such as the failure of a powerline, occur, electrical network control systems are challenged to properly respond and minimize the propagation of failures to other parts of the grid.

    Patent Issued for Inspection robots and methods for inspection of curved surfaces (USPTO 11872688)

    131-133页
    查看更多>>摘要：From Alexandria, Virginia, NewsRx journalists report that a patent by the inventors Bryner, Edward A. (Pittsburgh, PA, US), Cordova, Ignacio J. (Santiago, CL), Low, Kevin Y. (Pittsburgh, PA, US), Trogu, Francesco H. (Pittsburgh, PA, US), filed on May 11, 2022, was published online on January 16, 2024. The patent’s assignee for patent number 11872688 is Gecko Robotics Inc. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “The present disclosure relates to robotic inspection and treatment of industrial surfaces.” As a supplement to the background information on this patent, NewsRx correspondents also obtained the inventors’ summary information for this patent: “Previously known inspection and treatment systems for industrial surfaces suffer from a number of drawbacks. Industrial surfaces are often required to be inspected to determine whether a pipe wall, tank surface, or other industrial surface feature has suffered from corrosion, degradation, loss of a coating, damage, wall thinning or wear, or other undesirable aspects. Industrial surfaces are often present within a hazardous location-for example in an environment with heavy operating equipment, operating at high temperatures, in a confined environment, at a high elevation, in the presence of high voltage electricity, in the presence of toxic or noxious gases, in the presence of corrosive liquids, and/or in the presence of operating equipment that is dangerous to personnel. Accordingly, presently known systems require that a system be shutdown, that a system be operated at a reduced capacity, that stringent safety procedures be followed (e.g., lockout/tagout, confined space entry procedures, harnessing, etc.), and/or that personnel are exposed to hazards even if proper procedures are followed. Additionally, the inconvenience, hazards, and/or confined spaces of personnel entry into inspection areas can result in inspections that are incomplete, of low resolution, that lack systematic coverage of the inspected area, and/or that are prone to human error and judgement in determining whether an area has been properly inspected.
