  • Patent number: 11386375
    Abstract: An electronic resource tracking and storage computer system communicates with computing systems operated by different participants. Computing systems store copies of a blockchain and have associated computing devices with sensors. A programmed rule set includes conditions to be met when cooperating to complete, in connection with a resource tracked via the blockchain, a modeled process including modeled tasks. A transceiver receives, from the computing devices, signed electronic data messages including identifiers and values from their respective sensors. Blockchain transactions including identifiers and value(s) in the respective messages are generated. Generated blockchain transactions are published for inclusion in blockchain's copies. Value(s) in the respective electronic data messages are validated against the set of programmed rules. Based on the validations' results, events are emitted to an event bus monitored by a management system.

  • Patent number: 11379767
    Abstract: As an example, a server may receive and/or retrieve news items and process the news items using natural language processing to identify news related to entities (e.g., people, locations, and organizations) extracted from an enterprise resource planning system. A term frequency-inverse document frequency algorithm may be used to identify critical news items that may impact one or more supply chains associated with at least one product that is to be manufactured. A long short-term memory artificial recurrent neural network may be used to determine a confidence score for each critical news item. The confidence scores of the critical news items may be used to adjust replenishment planning and a master build plan that includes a plan to build the at least one product. In this way, news items may be used to automatically (e.g., without human interaction) adjust the master build plan.

  • Patent number: 11379861
    Abstract: A method is disclosed which includes: receiving, from a third-party content provider, a link to a structured document on an external server, where the link is associated with a post of the online social network by the third-party content provider, and retrieving the structured document from the external server, where the structured document includes content and input fields. This step is followed by extracting a predefined set of information from the structured document about the content and input fields of the structured document. The extracted set of information from the structured document are then evaluated to determine one or more feature-values of the structured document. A machine learning model is used to classify the structured document as an external lead-generation type page based on the one or more feature-values of the structured document and a notification is sent to the third-party content provider if the structured document is classified as an external lead-generation type page.

  • Patent number: 11301790
    Abstract: This invention is embodied in a cost-optimization device for the layout and construction of a utility-scale photovoltaic (“PV”) power plant. The optimization device employs a set of algorithms designed to find the most cost-effective solution under given conditions. The algorithms are written in computer machine readable code and are highly customizable for the specific tracker equipment requirements and owner/builder/maintainer specifications or preferences. The preferred optimization device comprises three principal stages (or “units”) of computing: (1) an objective-state unit, (2) an optimum-feasible unit, and (3) a grading unit. In the first stage, the objective-state unit cost-optimizes site grading by orienting a ruling line between a maximum and a minimum pile reveal length for each tracker in the project (the objective-state solution”). When compared to the existing site topography, the ruling line indicates cost-optimized cut and fill locations.

  • Patent number: 11301877
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to administration of an electronic survey to collect perception ratings for an event. For example, an electronic survey system provides a perception survey question to a respondent client device for an event (e.g., a digital media event or a live user experience). As a user associated with the respondent client device experiences the event, the user indicates a perception rating over time for the event by interacting with a graphical input element corresponding to the perception survey question. The survey system collects perception data points indicating the perception rating of the user and associates information about the user with the perception data points. The survey system can generate response data for the perception survey question based on the perception data points. The survey system can also generate a perception data report using the user profile information.
