Patent number: 11300482Abstract: Spectral machine condition energy peaks are graphically represented in a spectral plot using color coding, different line types, and/or filtering. This allows visual differentiation of spectral peaks associated with various fault frequency families from one another, whereby a machine condition analyst using computer-based analysis software can easily see each family of spectral peaks individually, without all the other spectral peaks, or in combinations of families that are relevant to a machine fault under investigation. In addition to current spectral data, the analyst can also view a historical trend of related scalar parameters plotted in conjunction with current spectral data, wherein the spectral data plot is synchronized with a time-based cursor on the trend plot.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Computational Systems, Inc.Inventors: Stewart V.

Patent number: 11223542Abstract: Visualizations are automatically generated based at least on a received identifier identifying a report. One or more data sets and one or more style configurations are retrieved from a shared visualization library via a backend API based on the received identifier and passed to a router component. The router component includes a switch that renders a score component, which generates a score visualization, if the retrieved data sets include score data. If the data sets include time series data, or the score visualization also includes a time series graph, the router component renders a time series component that passes the data sets and the style configurations to a parser that parses the data sets and the style configurations and outputs one or more highcharts options objects. A highcharts component generates the time series visualizations and/or adds the time series graph to the score visualization based on the highcharts options objects.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2020Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: ServiceNow, Inc.Inventors: Ciprian Mocanu, Aida Rikovic Tabak, Robert-Jan Barmentloo, Andrei-Mihai Gabur, Benedetto Fiorelli, Georgi Ivanov, Jimmy Castex, Johannes von Sichart

Patent number: 11216908Abstract: A display device to change an image displayed in a display area when the display area is changed includes a memory, a location output unit and a screen display unit. The memory stores size information of a display area displayed on a screen and the image data of the displayed image. The location computing unit computes a start point of the changed display area when the display area is changed. The display unit decodes data corresponding to the size of the display area based on the computed new start point from the image data to display the decoded data in the display area. Since the start point is obtained with center point of the changed display area and its size information and then a display area to be displayed is determined based on the start point, a current search location is maintained even when the screen is swung.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2020Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: PANTECH CORPORATIONInventors: Ho Yeon Chae, Chang Soo Ryu
