Beyond seen faults: Zero-shot diagnosis of power circuit breakers using symptom description transfer.

Power circuit breakers (CBs) are vital for the control and protection of power systems, yet diagnosing their faults accurately remains a challenge due to the diversity of fault types and the complexity of their structures. Traditional data-driven methods, although effective, require extensive labeled data for each fault class, limiting their applicability in real-world scenarios where many faults are unseen. This paper addresses these limitations by introducing symptom description transfer-based zero-shot fault diagnosis (SDT-ZSFD), a method that leverages zero-shot learning for fault diagnosis.

Risk of Cardiovascular Events in Adults Aged 40 to 79 Years with Diagnosed Hypertension, High Cholesterol, and/or Diabetes but Not on Medications: Findings from Nationwide Cross-Sectional Studies.

Many people with diagnosed hypertension, high cholesterol, and/or diabetes are not receiving drug treatment, partly because they perceive their cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk as low. This study aimed to quantify the risk for future CVD events, either first or recurrent, in people with diagnosed hypertension, high cholesterol, and/or diabetes but not on medications for any of these conditions. Participants aged 40-79 years who had been diagnosed with hypertension, high cholesterol, and/or diabetes but were not on medications were identified from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys cycles 1999 to 2018.
