ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,535,389, issued on Jan. 27, was assigned to STMicroelectronics International N.V. (Geneva).

"Sensor unit with on-device learning and anomaly detection" was invented by Federico Rizzardini (Settimo Milanese, Italy) and Lorenzo Bracco (Chivasso, Italy).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A sensor unit is coupled to a machine and configured to detect anomalous behavior of the machine. The sensor unit includes a low power microcontroller that learns to recognize a plurality of operations of the machine. The sensor unit generates mean vector and inverse of a Cholesky decomposition matrix for each operation. During a detection mode the sensor unit c...
