Patent number: 11960601Abstract: A system for managing an infrastructure includes extraction engine is in communication with a managed infrastructure that includes physical hardware. A signalizer engine includes one or more of an NMF engine (Non-negative matrix factorization), a k-means clustering engine (a method of vector quantization), and a topology proximity engine. The signalizer engine determines one or more common characteristics of events and produces clusters of events relating to the failure or errors in the infrastructure. The signalizer engine uses graph coordinates and optionally a subset of attributes assigned to each event to generate one or more clusters to bring together events whose characteristics are similar. One or more interactive displays provide a collaborative interface coupled to the extraction and the signalizer engine with a collaborative interface (UI) for decomposing events from the infrastructure.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Philip Tee, Robert Duncan Harper

Patent number: 11960374Abstract: A system is provided for managing a managed infrastructure that has physical hardware components. A signalizer engine is coupled to the managed infrastructure. The signalizer engine includes a central processor and a main memory. In response to input from the managed infrastructure, the central processor and the main memory use graph coordinates to determine hop proximity of a source of an event. Clusters of events are then produced relating to one or more failures or errors in the physical elements of the managed infrastructure. Each event being is converted to words to group the events into the clusters that relate to a failure or an actionable problem in the physical hardware components to produce an output. A compare and merge engine is coupled to the signalizer engine to receive the output. In response to the output, the system executes physical corrections to the physical hardware of the managed infrastructure.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Philip Tee, Robert Duncan Harper

Patent number: 11947724Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, and one or more tactile output generators displays, on the display, a respective user interface element within a user interface region. The device detects a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface for moving the respective user interface element by a respective amount. In response, in accordance with a determination that moving the respective user interface element by the respective amount would cause the respective user interface element to move beyond a predefined limit, the device generates a respective tactile output via the tactile output generators and moves the respective user interface element by the respective amount and beyond the predefined limit. In response to detecting liftoff of a contact used to perform the gesture, the device at least partially reverses the movement of the respective user interface element, such that the respective user interface element is moved to the predefined limit.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jeffrey Traer Bernstein, Julian Missig, Avi E.
