ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 26 -- United States Patent no. 12,261,863, issued on March 25.

"Partial bayesian network with feedback" was invented by Mordecai Barkan (Palo Alto, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Typical implementations of anomaly detection algorithms as means to detect failure of elements of the network are based on excessive processing due to AI and machine learning techniques adopted for big data analysis. Contrary to such approach, careful study of a network, particularly sensor and actuator rich network, allow for an efficient implementation-lower processing requirements and achieving better ratio of Probability-of-Detection (PD) to False-Alarm-Rate (FAR)-by segmentation of ...
