    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with automated calibration in electromagnetic scanners are described. In one embodiment, a method includes: detecting one or more peak frequency bands in electromagnetic signals collected by the electromagnetic scanner at a geographic location; comparing the one or more peak frequency bands to broadcast frequencies assigned to local radio stations of the geographic location; and indicating that the electromagnetic scanner is calibrated by finding at least one match between one peak frequency band of the peak frequency bands and one of the broadcast frequencies. An electromagnetic scanner may be recalibrated based on comparing the one or more peak frequency bands to broadcast frequencies.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with unified control of cooling in computers are described. In one embodiment, a method locks operation of first and second cooling mechanisms configured to cool one or more components in the computer. In response to a first condition, the method unlocks the operation of the first cooling mechanism to allow the first cooling mechanism to make cooling adjustments while the operation of the second cooling mechanism is locked. In response to a second condition, the method unlocks the operation of the second cooling mechanism to allow the second cooling mechanism to make cooling adjustments while the operation of the first cooling mechanism is locked. In the method, the first cooling mechanism and the second cooling mechanism are prevented from making the cooling adjustments simultaneously.

    Abstract: The disclosed system produces synthetic signals for testing machine-learning systems. During operation, the system generates a set of N composite sinusoidal signals, wherein each of the N composite sinusoidal signals is a combination of multiple constituent sinusoidal signals with different periodicities. Next, the system adds time-varying random noise values to each of the N composite sinusoidal signals, wherein a standard deviation of the time-varying random noise values varies over successive time periods. The system also multiplies each of the N composite sinusoidal signals by time-varying amplitude values, wherein the time-varying amplitude values vary over successive time periods. Finally, the system adds time-varying mean values to each of the N composite sinusoidal signals, wherein the time-varying mean values vary over successive time periods. The time-varying random noise values, amplitude values and mean values can be selected through a roll-of-the-die process from a library of values, which are learned from industry-specific signals.

    Abstract: During operation, the system obtains the time-series sensor signals, which were gathered from sensors in a monitored system. Next, the system classifies the time-series sensor signals into stair-stepped signals and un-stair-stepped signals. The system then replaces stair-stepped values in the stair-stepped signals with interpolated values determined from un-stair-stepped values in the stair-stepped signals. Next, the system divides the time-series sensor data into a training set and an estimation set. The system then trains an inferential model on the training set, and uses the trained inferential model to replace interpolated values in the estimation set with inferential estimates. Next, the system switches roles of the training and estimation sets to produce a new training set and a new estimation set. The system then trains the inferential model on the new training set, and uses the trained inferential model to replace interpolated values in the new estimation set with inferential estimates.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that detects sensor anomalies in a univariate time-series signal. During a surveillance mode, the system receives the univariate time-series signal from a sensor in a monitored system. Next, the system performs a staggered-sampling operation on the univariate time-series signal to produce N sub-sampled time-series signals, wherein the staggered-sampling operation allocates consecutive samples from the univariate time-series signal to the N sub-sampled time-series signals in a round-robin ordering. The system then uses a trained inferential model to generate estimated values for the N sub-sampled time-series signals based on cross-correlations with other sub-sampled time-series signals. Next, the system performs an anomaly detection operation to detect incipient sensor anomalies in the univariate time-series signal based on differences between actual values and the estimated values for the N sub-sampled time-series signals. Whenever an incipient sensor anomaly is detected, the system generates a notification.
